Labassa Mansion
From mansion to flats, Labassa has survived with its Victorian era decoration intact
www.nationaltrust.org.auHere are the latest updates I found about Labassa House:
- ABC News (Australia) reports Labassa as a historic Melbourne mansion with a rich post-war history, noting its use by Jewish refugees and later bohemian residents, and highlighting ongoing open days and public tours.[1]
- The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) page for Labassa lists upcoming open days in 2026 and emphasizes that much of Labassa’s Victorian interior remains intact, inviting visitors to explore its architectural and human history.[2]
- A Labassa-focused Wikipedia entry summarizes its National Trust stewardship, period as flats, and the ongoing Labassa Lives oral-history project that documents hundreds of residents and stories.[3]
Context and where to look next:
- If you want a specific event, dates, or ticketing details for Labassa’s public open days, the National Trust VIC page is the most reliable source for 2026 schedules.[2]
- For narrative histories and personal stories tied to Labassa, the Labassa Lives project and related ABC/YouTube features provide firsthand recollections and visual context.[4][5][1]
Would you like me to pull the most current open-day calendar for Labassa from the National Trust VIC site or compile a brief timeline of Labassa’s major eras/history based on these sources? I can also provide direct links to the exact pages if you’d like.
