A tour is available with a guide. There is a small gift shop also. The tour was very interesting. This is a magnificent old building & a must see when you are in Adelaide. More

I barely made it to the last house tour but I was so glad I did. It is a very interesting house lived in by a very interesting family. I loved finding the antique samplers hanging on the walls as this is a special love of mine. The docent was great and I am so glad that I made the... More
