From hall to dressing room.
Dressing room.
Door leads out to the main staircase.
Down to entrance hall and public/living rooms (breakfast room, drawing room & dining room). Up to bedrooms and nursery.
Kitchen at the Deloraine & Districts Folk Museum is housed in the former Family & Commercial Inn. More images in Tag.
From the table:
Narryna, Battery Point, Hobart. (Other rooms are under the Narryna tag.)
Wash trough with washboard and mangle/wringer. More photos of mangle below.
Air-compressed washing machine, Wolter & Etching. More information on these.
These are your standard flat irons. Apply heat. Iron.
But these two are gas irons. Put heat inside. Some more information here (scroll down) and here.
Two lace/frill/fluting/goffering irons. (Two photos of each.) Some information on these here, here (scroll down) and here, and some other examples here.
This one has a conveniently placed mobile phone for scale.
Finally a wooden washing machine. I can’t find anything more about these. I put more photos of it here.
Narryna, Battery Point, Hobart. Other rooms are under the Narryna tag.
According to onsite information, this is one of two adjoining rooms that were used as the nursery. The other is now used as an exhibition room.
Now the left. The first part of this is much the same as the right wing (really!) so I’ll we can mostly skip that bit.
Now back down stairs and then to the end of the wing
I vaguely remember this might have been a suicide-watch cell.
Now I really can’t remember what the point of this screen was. I think it had to do something with special treatment.
These are the two doors on other side of the screen. One has a “window” to watch the occupants. The second door leads to the cell pictured below.
With a door to outside.
Outside. A quick pause to through that doorway there.
The doors on the right, at the top of the stairs, are where we came out.
The gate out!
Free!
Not quite, a few more things to look at first, including a tower.
It’s a panoptican, except it’s not. It’s a central hub with two radiating wings.
Before checking out the wings, some photos of the “control room” and the rooms behind, or skip them and go straight to the right wing.
Through the bottom door
There’s a information panel on the wall talking about the “Reception Process”. I presume that took place in here
Follow the yellow line out.
Now up the stairs.
The other side of the gate.
There’s not much to say along there. It’s a two-storey corridor with doors along it
That’s the gallows from below. You can see the black figure above it in the first photo.
Inside a cell.
That’s a door
More doors. The wings were extended in later years, so different building materials.
Heading upstairs.
There’s not a lot of originality in Victorian prison architecture (that’s Melbourne).
Another cell.
The newer extension on the end.
The condemned cell.
Doomed silhouette.
Back down the stairs.
Bathroom
Now back to the centre and then to the left wing and outside.
This was the cemetery.
Now two yellow lines. The left one
goes back inside, just behind the “control room” and
and the right line goes–oh dear–back to the entrance courtyard.

And the way out!
Before leaving, a look at one of the towers.
Now you can go 🙂

Right wing.

On the way out.
Arriving.
This one is Blundells Cottage from the park along edge of Lake Burley-Griffin in Canberra. One of the few buildings in the area that pre-date the creation of the Australian Capital Territory. Information from the self-guided tour brochure is in italics.
George Town Watch House, built 1840s. (Better photo of front.)
Numbers are a guide to the location/direction of the corresponding mimages (the number are to the right of the thumb nails). Room marked as “watch house” on the plan is now the entry & gift shop. The two rooms on the right have been combined into one. The two cells on the right have been combined into one.

The coach house and stable at Runymede consists of a front room with large double doors where the carriage is and a second room at the back with the stalls, and a wooden addition. There are pegs on the wall of the stable room for tack (I assume) and a regular door in the back wall.
