Illustrated Talk on Alpha Cottage, Perth, 19th Century
Wednesday
11 March 7.30pm
Scotch
College Dining Room, Stirling Road, Swanbourne (Lake Claremont end, near
playing fields)
COST: $10
including supper.
RSVP:
Caroline Grant 9384 3414 or grantspc@iinet.net.au
John Viska will give an illustrated talk on Alpha Cottage,
purported to be the first home built on St George's Terrace. Alfred Hawes Stone
arrived in the Swan River settlement in 1829 and lived in the cottage with his
family. Stone produced a very descriptive coloured plan of the house and
garden in the 1850s and describes growing grapes. He was an enthusiastic
photographer and many of his images have survived, giving a valuable insight to
the growing colony in the 1860's and 1870's.
Join the Australian Garden Society to hear more about John's
research into this gem of early West Australian garden history.
