Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Brough House is a heritage museum in Maitland, Newcastle, with a close connection to the neighbouring Grossmann House. The site describes it as the former boarding house for Maitland Girls High School, which occupied the adjoining property from 1894 to 1963, offering a glimpse into the buildings’ shared educational history.
Visitors can explore the heritage Fibre Makers’ Space, where local fibre makers work on traditional looms, and view exhibits from the Maitland Regional Museum and the Museum of History & Clothing. The space also provides an opportunity to purchase a bespoke item made onsite, adding a hands-on craft element to the visit.
Brough House suits visitors interested in Maitland’s local history, heritage buildings and traditional making. It can be visited alongside Grossmann House, a restored Victorian property built in the early 1870s by merchant Samuel Owen’s business partner, Isaac Beckett. Together, the two buildings tell a broader story of prosperous Victorian-era Maitland, its schools and its working communities.
