Tasma Terrace
Description
One of the finest examples of a 19th-century three-storey terrace house in Australia, Tasma Terrace was built in 1879 for wealthy merchant George Nipper as a stylish guest house and family home. Facing demolition and replacement with high-rise towers in 1970, the house was ultimately saved through the advocacy of the National Trust.
What's On
Used by the National Trust Australia (Victoria) as their head office, this terrace building is rarely opened to the public. Come and wander through the open areas of the property to get a sense of what life was like in these grand terrace houses, as well as seeing some of the inner workings of life at the National Trust Australia (Victoria). The event will be hosted by a range of NTAV staff and volunteers.
