About the Business
Grossmann House – National Trust | Grossmann House was built in 1870-71 by the merchant Isaac Beckett. It adjoins Brough House, built as a mirror image by Beckett's business partner, Samuel Owen. The buildings are thought to have been designed by local architect William White. It is interesting to note that the main entrance to each residence is originally located on opposing sides rather than at the front, to give a degree of privacy for the owners – although the two families shared a common laundry.Maitland at that time was Australia’s largest inland town, and the commercial heart of the prosperous Hunter Region. Beckett and Owen arrived from England in 1838, and quickly diversified their High Street business to become ‘General Merchants, Tailors and Woolbrokers, Wine, Spirit and Tobacco Merchants’.

A wonderful very historic National Trust building in Maitland, alongside its mirror image neighbour Brough House. Beautifully furnished in the time period. Run by volunteers so check opening times. Usually Sundays I think

Beautiful historic location in Maitland. We visited in the evening with the Haunted Newcastle Ghost Tours and it was so fun , we did have a number of paranormal experiences in our group as well which made the night an extra bit special. Recommend going on the ghost hunt or just visiting during the day.

Wonderful experience!There are few historic places left in Maitland, this place is fully furnished, complete with fully decorated period appropriate interior, with so many artifacts and antiques. I have never seen anything quite like it, it's like a jump back in time. I also got a very interesting guided tour from one of the volunteers.

Beautifully restored Victorian town mansions, Grossman is a wonderful house museum with an emphasis on textiles & costumes.We had very informative tour guides explaining about the house and it's uses and loved the painstakingly restored magnificent yellow dress.I particularly liked seeing the well set up kitchen and laundry, areas often neglected. At the adjoining Brough House, a gold coin let us look at an interesting exhibition of exquisite examples of lace, crochet work and fashions through various periods.Afterwards it was delightful to have morning tea served by more helpful volunteers, on the lawn under the trees in the pretty garden.Highly recommend these two houses, a lovely experience.

Lovely historic house with some great informative volunteers. $2 donation entry for an informative history of Maitland including clothing from the 50s and 60s. We spoke with Sally who was great to talk to and is part of the Maitland Council so she knows about the history and upcoming changes of the Maitland Area.

Grossman house is a historic treasure in Maitland. A wonderful team of volunteers create events, walks, art exhibitions and its a step back in time to wander through the house and see it.
