Hobartville is a privately owned working stud. Owned by William Cox (the son of the famous road-builder) from 1816, the house shown yesterday was designed and supervised by Francis Greenway from 1827. In 1877 the property was purchased by Andrew Town and Australia's first yearling sales commenced. This fine example of a carriage shed is undated.

interesting post and photos!
Very interesting Australian history, Julie. History from an architectural point of view, great idea.

I love all your photos of this interesting looking building.
A stunning series of photos of this carriage shed. Brick is such a warm material, the shape of the shed is unique, and it has amazing details - like that arched window - for what I'd think would be a utilitarian building. I like how you laid this out, Julie.
Preciosas fotografias .
Un saludo.
Wonderful building, gardens and great history.
What depth of history, with great illustrations. You coped very well with some very harshly lit scenes in this post.
See, if that were built today the architect would claim 'minimalism' and throw up a brick box with no redeeming features like that half-circle fanlight or the brick pillars at the corners and doorways, absolutely lovely!
A lot of history here. Great photos again.
Excellent, Julie.
The place seems to be echoing with many stories. Great pics.
Very neat place, great photos!
What a wonderful old building, what a history it must have and great pics.
I really enjoyed reading this bit of history. I enjoy following an architect and seeing the transformation of an area through his works.
Debe ser una tranquilidad vivir en ese lugar. Lleno de historias y de vidas que estuvieron allí.
Me ha encantado ese collage que has hecho, interesante.
Saludos.
That would be good to have in my backyard.
It must be a tranquillity to live in that place. Plenty of histories and lives that were there. I am enchanted by the collage you have done, interesting. Greetings.
Thank you Catalina Lemus Fett.

Hi Julie. Thanks for your comment. This is an extraordinary post with an awesome building. Just love it. Thanks for sharing.
A magic piece of history and dramatic shots of it.
It's got so much character.
Oooo I would like to go there. The lighting was bit 'shadowy' though so I can't see it quite as well as I would like. Love the yellow hedge and the flowery shrubs.
Very interesting post and beautiful photographs of the carriage shed.
the brick shed is splendid! your photos are beautiful--the lighting is superb.
really great pictures. I love the large one with the leaning tree....
They keep race horses here? Such a coincidence that I was telling my adult ESOL students about the Melbourne cup.
I was fortunate to live at this property in the 1970s when it was owned by my family
