Description
The bottom of three layers of wallpaper and two layers of newspaper lining recovered in the one wallpaper sandwich from Samuel Cox's Cottage, Pitt Town, NSW. A newspaper dated 1915 was used as a lining paper for this sample. The cottage is a timber slab hut, constructed in the late 1870s by Richard Cox for his son Samuel just prior to his marriage to Mary. It was the second house built on land which was principally used for dairy farming. The property remained in the Cox family until 1984.
