Samson House

DesignFreo: 
On Location

DesignFreo: On Location takes you out and about to experience great design first-hand and meet the people who create it. Architects, artists, builders and clients talk about what's involved in crafting outstanding spaces and places in this popular series.

Samson House is a Fremantle landmark. Completed in 1888, it was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs and was home to two generations of the Samson family. Its contents are a fascinating time-capsule traversing two centuries of changing taste in furniture, interiors and even packaging design. Now in the hands of the National Trust, unusual features include an indoor well and a 1950s home cinema with tram benches for seating. Enjoy a tour of the house with commentary from a National Trust guide. Heritage architect Alan Kelsall will be on hand and a short discussion will explore what the house tells us about local history, culture and design. Then we’ll adjourn for casual drinks and nibbles on the verandah to mark the end of another DesignFreo year. We hope you&#x27;ll join us. Free entry for children.Thanks to our event sponsor <a href="https://www.oldbridge.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Old Bridge Cellars</a> and DesignFreo&#x27;s Principal Sponsor <a href="https://www.icsaust.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ICS Australia</a>.
