[1906]
The Government erected a two-storeyed workman's cottage in the grounds near Wonderland. It was built on the same scale and the same design as some proposed to be built at various places in the colony. The house was later moved to 52 Longfellow Street where it later became the Beckenham Pottery. The initial system of state-built housing was introduced by the Liberal Government (1891-1912), not to be confused with the system started by the 1935-1949 Labour Government
