History

Franklin Street Richmond 7025
Richmond
Barracks was built around 1830 and. although close to the
centre of town now, when built, was actually outside the town
boundaries. It is said that officers from Richmond Gaol lived
in the army barraks style building which was later turned
into two co-joined cottages. These cottages later became one
single building which it now is today, and is National Trust
listed.At
some stage in the building’s life, it fell into such a state
of disrepair that demolishion was considered. Over the years
there have been various additions to the building, mainly at
the rear. At one time there were stables behind the main
building but these were burnt to the ground. There is a large
wine cellar under the accommodation unit known as "The
Cellar".
We look forward to
seeing you.
