Meroogal, House museum in Nowra, Australia.
The Meroogal residence features weatherboard walls, corrugated iron roofing, decorative bargeboards, cast-iron balustrades, and hardwood floors with cedar joinery throughout the building.
Constructed in 1886 by Kenneth Mackenzie, the house was funded by Robert Taylor Thorburn using profits from his goldmine partnership in Yalwal.
Four generations of women from the Thorburn family maintained the residence, preserving books, ornaments, furniture, photographs, diaries, journals, and personal belongings.
The museum opens every Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with school visits available Monday through Friday, offering guided tours of the house and grounds.
The property hosts the Meroogal Women's Art Prize, a biennial exhibition celebrating contemporary works by female artists across New South Wales.
