Overview

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 tell a vivid story of Canberra's family life.
