Event overview
Event details
Discover the story of Melbourne with a visit to Como House.
Known by many Melburnians as ‘the white house on the hill,’ Como overlooks the Birrurung (Yarra) river and is surrounded by a pleasure garden and community parkland.
Built in 1847, Como House is an unusual mix of Australian Regency and classic Italianate architecture. The garden has retained many elements of its 1850s design.
Since colonisation, Como has changed with Melbourne, reflecting the booms and busts of Victoria’s history.
Entry inside Como House is by guided tour only. Spaces are limited and pre-bookings are recommended via the link.
This event is accessible to people with disability.
