Open house at the Station Masters Cottage

         

        22nd March 2020 1.00pm.

        (This event has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic)

            

           Members of Gerringong and District Historical Society, Carol and Jack Flanagan have graciously offered to

         open their home, the Station Master’s Cottage, at 16 Belinda Street, Gerringong, on Sunday 22 March

         from 1 to 4 pm.

​

        The cottage is typical of those built on the southern train line when it was extended through Gerringong

         to Bomaderry in 1893 and provided a vital link with the nearby butter factory, then Dairy Co-op, which had  

         been established in 1888.

​

         With architect John Murray, the Flanagans have restored and extended the house, ensuring the historical

         features  have been faithfully kept, while sensitively adapting the home to modern living. John Murray will be

         available on the day to talk about the house and its restoration, and will hold information sessions at 1.30,

        2.30, and 3.30 pm in the back room. Visitors can walk through the cottage at any time during the

        afternoon.

​

        Generous donors have provided these attractive prizes for our raffle:
       *Two consecutive nights for two people at IVY MOUNT – SOUTHERN VISTA B&B
       *A basket of fresh produce from our beautiful local BUENA VISTA FARM

​

        The entry fee to the house is $10, children are free but must be accompanied by an adult. Wheelchair access

        is possible, but assistance will be required. Profits go to the ongoing development of the town’s new Museum.

​

        You may also wish to explore the surrounding railway precinct, the new street library at the front fence of the

        cottage or go searching for treasures at CORNER D’OR at the corner of Victoria Street.

       *a DELIGHTFUL AFTERNOON TEA as well as lunch and dinner can be purchased at Jack’s Grill at Cronin’s Hotel

        where a refreshing ale may provide a pleasant ending to your day.

​

        Parking is available in Belinda Street, in the station car park and in the hotel car park.
