Chattel Houses

2007.07.18



"The Chattel House was originally the design of the plantation workers home. They were modest wooden buildings set on blocks so that they could be easily moved from one leaseholding to another.
"The name chattel referred to the fact that they were movable property."

I could not have written a better explanation.

youlookmahvelous You did great, I think this is very interesting and coming from the west I wasn't aware of these. A great slice of history and good to see they haven't all vanished.

Maxine Good pics. They're almost like the cabins you get in some of the caravan parks (holiday parks) on the east coast of Australia.
