A display of kitchen appliances and tools used from the mid-1800s through to the 1920s. ...
As part of Australian Heritage Festival 2024, Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society presents an exhibition of kitchen implements, tools and appliances used from the mid-1800s through to the early part of the 20th Century.
The cottage provides a picture of life in the pioneering days of the late 1800s.
Schramms Cottage dates from approximately 1875. It is an asymmetrical cottage, built of local sandstone with a hip slate roof. It was built for Max von Schramm, a German immigrant, for use as a house and a Lutheran school.
In 1876 von Schramm was appointed the first Lutheran Pastor in Doncaster and he continued to teach at this school until 1884.
The cottage was originally located in Doncaster Road, near the present Council offices and was moved to its current site following a decision to widen Doncaster Road. The process of dismantling and re-erecting the building took place between 1971 and 1975, using largely voluntary labour. Schramms Cottage was opened as a historical centre on 14 February 1976.
