Summary

Kingscote - historic cottages Faith, Hope and Charity. Mr Jeremiah Calnan, recently arrived in Kingscote on the "Africaine" with his wife and children, set off to the mainland to find better conditions for the family. Unfortunately he died but in 1851 his sons set off for the gold diggings in Victoria. They were successful and invested their gold and built three identical stone homes at Reeves Point in 1859. These became known as the Faith, Hope and Charity cottages. Only Charity cottage remained in a fit condition and was occupied by a grandson of Jeremiah. The delapidated Hope cottage and garden was restored and became a museum
