SUMMARY:Spring Garden Day at La Trobe’s Cottage
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne’s oldest surviving building\, the home of Victoria’s first Lieutenant-Governor\, Charles Joseph La Trobe \n\nLa Trobe’s Cottage was the home of Charles Joseph La Trobe\, Victoria’s first governor\, and his wife Sophie and their children from 1839 to 1854. Originally erected on his Jolimont estate\, the single-story dwelling is constructed of timber\, replicating the original prefabricated structure brought by him from London. The locally built dining room (1839)\, the first of many additions made during La Trobe’s tenure\, is the oldest surviving Melbourne building. The modest yet elegant family home contains many pieces of La Trobe’s furniture and other historic artefacts. Learn more about La Trobe’s beloved garden and cottage here. \nJoin us at our next open day to learn about life in early Melbourne. Obtain a glimpse into La Trobe family life and enjoy the romantic garden re-created using plants available in the 1840s and 1850s. \nIn 2014\, the cottage garden was awarded a Victorian Community History Award for Historical Interpretation. \nFor more details and tickets\, visit https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/places/la-trobes-cottage/
