DID YOU KNOW?

Built between 1850 and 1869, Ulva Cottage Penola is one of the earliest in Penola.

Part slab construction, it has an exterior of vertical sawn timber, a simple corrugated iron roof skillion at the rear, paddock stone used at the chimney end and the eastern addition. Its interior walls are constructed from pit-sawn blackwood.
The cottage was purchased from Alexander Cameron by storekeeper Alan C Coleman in 1861 and then by licensed Prince of Wales Hotel victualler, Albert J Edwards in 1864. He was the owner until 1879, followed by his wife Catherine J Edwards until late 1882.
The building was placed on the National Trust Recorded List and confirmed as a State Heritage Place on the SA Heritage Register in 1984.
