The Roaring 20’s: A Glimpse into Canberra’s Early Design Aesthetic

Tour

Calthorpes’ House – built in 1927 epitomises Canberra design in the 1920s. Through its architecture, interior and garden design, which remain virtually unchanged, this property provides a glimpse into the past, while remaining highly relevant to the present. Join ACT Historic Places for a tour of Calthorpes’ House and gardens through the lens of design, and gain a new understanding of development and design in early Canberra and the ambition of its stylish residents.
