Chaplain’s Cottage
Catholic Church aged-care facility, 5 Grange Road, Taroona
No bookings required, just turn up!
Architect: Esmond Dorney (1957)
One of two Dorney Cottages built on the grounds of the Catholic Church aged-care facility at The Grange in Taroona.
A fine example of a little House from an era long predating their modern popularity. Esmond’s Japanese influences are demonstrated down to the (glazed) shoji screen in this living pavilion in the grounds of the Grange.
Both these cottages are being offered at no cost to a good home By Southern Cross and the Esmond Dorney Trust. The cost of transporting them will fall to the successful applicant. The Chaplains Cottage has been moved in the past and is set up for a crane lift, the Butler Cottage (1952) below it is larger and in its original site.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
