Labassa
Labassa, located in Manor Grove, North Caulfield, is a late 19th century mansion in Melbourne, Australia. It is particularly noted for the lavish decoration of the main rooms, a rare survival. The house, then known as Ontario, was expanded to its present form in 1890 by architect JAB Koch for the family of noted businessman Alexander Robertson. When it was converted into flats in 1920, an appreciation for the magnificent interiors of the main rooms meant they were retained, surviving though nine owners and countless tenants. By 1960 all the grounds had been subdivided or built on, leaving the house on a small site on a side street. In 1974 it was amongst the first places listed on the new Victorian Heritage Register, and when it was put up for sale in 1980, it was purchased by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) to become a house museum.
