The-Tivey-House-at-Nimmitabel-New-South-Wales
This rather Grand looking house can be found at Mole Station, Nimmitabel (also listed as Nimitybell etc), New South Wales in Australia. This photo was taken around 1910 and features (amongst others) Elfreda May Tivey (1905), Frank L Tivey (1907), Jack N Tivey (1902), Mabel Tivey nee Elphick (1876) and Francis Tivey (1871). The house originally belonged to Samuel Tivey and his wife Phoebe Wild who emigrated there in 1848. This photo was greatfully received from Angela Jones (Tivey) who is the grand daughter of Frank L Tivey. This colour version has been digitised by Joy Maloney of Wagga Wagga ~ She says "The style of the house is Federation characterised by bull nosed verandahs and dark colours. I think the two parts of the house at either end would have been a sandstone type stone, but definitely not weatherboards like the main house. The gardens had lots of English type flowers and often had a circular driveway with a round flower bed in the centre. In the really wealthy gardens more often than not there was a fountain and other statues throughout the garden." BIG THANKS TO JOY!
