Franklin House

Franklin House: Convict-Built Architecture & Heritage Garden Tours

Step into 1838 without the dry history lecture. This convict-built brick villa feels like a movie set for a period drama. Walk through the original schoolroom where boys lived in the mid-1800s, then hit the heritage gardens for the best photos. Skip the long guided tours if you're short on time; 45 minutes is enough to soak up the atmosphere. Check the calendar for their tea room hours—the scones are the only reason to stay longer.
