Lyons Cottage |
Also known as British Australian Telegraph House, Joe Lyons Cottage is an early example of Darwin architecture.
Located on the Esplanade overlooking the harbour, Lyons Cottage is the only remaining example of colonial bungalow style architecture to be found in Darwin.
Lyons Cottage was built in 1925 as accommodation for the Darwin Cable Company management staff and their families. The Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company operated and maintained the cable but it was more commonly known as the British Australia Telegraph Company and the cottage as BAT House.
The building is managed by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and currently houses Aboriginal Bush Traders.
Aboriginal Bush Traders is an Aboriginal art gallery and retail exhibiting a range of authentic Indigenous products complimented by a bush food CafĂ.
