A photographic record of the features of some of Tasmania's most historically significant private colonial estates — houses that have rarely been open to the public and whose stories are not well documented elsewhere. The authors gained access to properties across the island, documenting both the architecture and the families who have owned and lived in them across generations — from the earliest colonial period through to the present day.
At 216 pages with colour photographs throughout, this is a companion to their later Living in History (2011), which followed a similar format for a further selection of Tasmanian historic homes. Both volumes are out of print and increasingly sought after by anyone researching Tasmanian colonial architecture, pastoral heritage, or the families connected to these properties.
