Lyons Cottage, located on the corner of Knuckey Street and the Esplanade, Darwin, was built for the Eastern Extension Australasian and China Telegraph Company Ltd (the successor of the BAT from 1873) in 1925. It was the residence of the company engineer. Built of 'hammered stone' it was the first stone building constructed in Darwin for 30 years. Local stone was used to construct this unusual and unique domestic design reminiscent of English colonial models developed in India, Malay and Singapore. |
