- Fleurger🐨Brisbane, Australia2,112 contributionsWhat a fantastic hidden gem! we went here as part of an Urban Adventure and I would never have know about it otherwise. The gins were great and a great price for a tasting board.

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia25,895 contributionsBuilt in 1879 this is a great example of a 19th century three story terrace house built for a wealthy grain merchant George Nipper as a family home and a guest house. In the 1970's it was facing demolition but the National Trust stepped in and it is now the HQ for the National Trust. Inside, apart for NT offices they have a small gift shop and art gallery which is worth a look but go for the architecture.Written 25 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- platypus150Melbourne, Australia24,684 contributionsWith many houses dating back to the 1880s and 1890s, wide streets and plenty of trees, this is a most attractive neighbourhood.

A great walking area.Written 12 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- platypus150Melbourne, Australia24,684 contributionsNorth Carlton is a historic part of Melbourne, with many old buildings dating back to the 1870s. Many of the surviving houses are single storey terrace houses in rows, with some double storey rows as well. Shopping strips (for example in Lygon Street) are in a similar style. Drummond Street has some of the best architecture, although Rathdowne Street has the Great Northern Hotel and the old cable car winding house.Written 8 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- platypus150Melbourne, Australia24,684 contributionsIt is an interesting old church (with a matching hall), made with red brick, with courses of other colours. The area was subdivided in 1879 and is part of the Princes Hill Heritage area and is good for walking around to see the old houses and experience wide footpaths and roads. I assume the church is probably over 120 years old. There is a playground and open space available for the children to use.Written 3 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
