1940-02 Culla Hill Home Beautiful - View of Original Buildings

The Home Beautiful magazine issue of 1st February 1940 contains a wonderful 6 page article on 'Sweeneys'. This is one of a number of historically significant photos from that article. Peter Cuffley has a copy of the original magazine issue.

Sweeney's first home was a 12 ft x 10 ft shack of roughly sawn timber palings with a chimney of stone and hand-made bricks, standing and seen on the right of this photo. In 1940, it served as a laundry.

In the background are seen the longhouse and barn which also belonged to the original group of buildings.
