A surviving heritage building from the early 1920s. Originally constructed for the Telegraph Company that managed the undersea cable. It was later occupied by lawyer and politician John Lyons and family. It is currently a museum.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
