Billilla Mansion |
Incorporating a formal garden and historic house, Brighton's Billilla Mansion is undoubtedly one of Bayside's most iconic buildings.
It is a historically significant site which is listed on the National Trust Register, and has been a local landmark for more than one hundred years.
Billilla is also significant to Brighton because of its distinctive Edwardian rather than Victorian appearance.
Nicholas Were originally owned the block of land bound by Hampton, Halifax and Dendy streets in Brighton in 1872.
Billilla mansion was built in 1878 by Robert Wright on land owned by Nicholas Were.
Brighton City Council (now Bayside City Council) purchased Billilla mansion to retain the building and sites historical significance.
The mansion also makes an elegant backdrop for an outdoor wedding ceremony.
Billilla Mansion gardens are open to the general public all year round. Hopefully, the mansion will be open at the next openhousemelbourne.org
