Former Conservatory - Labassa

Location 21 Manor Grove,, CAULFIELD VIC 3162 - Property No B3308 File Number B3308 Level State

[1/1] B3308 Former Conservatory

Statement of Significance

The ornate cast iron, glass and pressed metal conservatory, built in 1890 as part of J A B Koch's design, still exists with almost all its original fittings and finishes intact and echoes on a smaller scale the opulence of the mansion. Although now converted to a house with the addition of a brick section at one end and internal divisions, the glass roof remains covered in metal and some of the glass walls have been painted. Unusual amongst the conservatoriesof the period by being free standing it is one of the few reminders of the once extensive garden of Labassa.
