Tulkiyan House Museum
Tulkiyan House is Ku-ring-gai Council's Federation arts and craft-styled house built in 1913. Tulkiyan House is an important example of the work of Bertrand J Waterhouse, a prominent Sydney architect.
The historic value of Tulkiyan derives from the continuous residence of the Donaldson family over 80 years, during which changes were minimal and were kept within the original style. The home and contents are listed on the NSW State Heritage Register; on the Register of the National Estate; by the National Trust of Australia (NSW); by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects; and are on Ku-ring-gai Council's LEP, Listed Schedule 7 "Tulkiyan heritage plan with significant interior".
Today, Tulkiyan House allows the public to catch a rare glimpse into the lives of the Donaldson family in the early-mid 1900s.
