Gatekeeper's Cottage
This fascinating cottage dates from 1887 and was designed by Launceston's greatest architect, Alexander North. It is said to have been inspired by the Gate Keeper’s Cottage at Kew Gardens, England. The cottage served as Park Superintendent’s quarters until 1982 when it was rented to private tenants.
In 1987 radio 7LTN was given use of the building which was converted to three radio studios. In 2000 the Lodge and studios were leased to voluntary community City Park Radio.
A mature wisteria, at least 150 years old, weaves its way through the cottage garden. I love the way this photo also picks up the contrail of a flight from Hobart to Melbourne.
