HISTORY
Captain's
Cottage is reputably the earliest built private residence in Stanley C. 1832.
It
is a Georgian bluestone bagged cottage featuring the original Baltic pine lined
upstairs sitting room, graced with a skylight and two dormer windows which
affords you beautiful Nut and water views - across the bay and surrounding
countryside.
The
cottage was originally built for Captain Burgess and passed into the hands of
another seafarer and families until purchased in the late 1980's by Captain Max
Holyman who was affectionately known as 'Captain Max of Ansett', Mr Reg Ansett's
personal pilot.
The
Medwin family purchased the cottage in 1998 from the Holyman's. The Medwin's are
traditional farmers whose ancestors were the first independent settlers outside
the Van Dieman's Land Company in 1841. They are still farming the
original block at Black River nearby.
Captain's
Cottage is beautifully presented with period furniture and is classified by the
National Trust. Alexander Terrace is a registered and classified streetscape.
Do
come and enjoy the history and charm of this welcoming cottage.
