old sod cottage

Considering the fact that the British meaning of 'sod' is demeaning, I had to stop
to look around.
Fortunately, 'sod' is the material that the house is made from!

Hugh Murray built in the 1860s for John McIntosh, as a store and as a stopping place 
for miners heading to the Tuapeka goldfields.

I like how they have it set up inside as authentic as they can.

wow a gorgeous cottage Didn't know that about sod I looked it up and it said it said it is the surface of ground with the grass growing on it. In Dutch turf is dried peat

I imagine living in a place just like this . . . really! i spend dreaming time on regular occasion - pretending my home would be like this - with a large-ish - safe yard.

Thank you for sharing.
love & love,

I love it when historical places are restored and saved for future generations.
