Visit Calthorpes’ House and step back to life in early Canberra.
Not far from the city centre, this Spanish Mission Style house was built in 1927 and is a window into an almost forgotten world. This genuine survivor is a treasure house of domestic history. Original furnishings, household appliances and photos all tell a vivid story of family life in Canberra's early days.
Don’t miss the Second World War bomb shelter in the backyard.
