With its orange roof, white walls and green window frames, Bluff No.18 is a very cute house. It was originally located at a different place in Yamate and owned by an Australian businessman between 1921 and 1924. After that, it passed from new owner to new owner until 1947, when the Yamate Catholic Church purchased it and used it as a priest’s residence for 44 years. The garden is beautifully yellow when the Ginko leaves change color in autumn. An index of this series is here.
