Summary

Brighton House built by Michael Featherstone. A researcher has noted that: "Michael Featherstone had a house built on his Brighton property about 1844. 'Brighton House' (not Featherstone's name for it) comprises his second house and additions dating from the period of his elder son William Paul Featherstone's ownership, and possibly additions and modifications made by subsequent owners. Michael Featherstone's first house on his Brighton property did not form part of the house in this photo. It was about 200 metres north-west of his second house. It was destroyed by fire in the late 1960s."

Historical information

Michael Featherstone built 'Providence Cottage' in the early 1840s on his land at North Brighton. The house was added to and renamed 'Providence House'; it was later in the 1880s renamed 'Brighton House' by subsequent owners (Hacketts). The Hacketts still owned the house in 1932, with Miss Isabel Hackett donating it to Minda Inc. in 1935. The building is still extant on the grounds of Minda Inc.
