History of The Manor Bed and Breakfast

The Manor was completed in 1900 as a two-story home and surgery for Dr W T Burgess. The building was designed by his brother Harry Burgess who planned to incorporate the Old Temperence Hall built 25 years earlier.

Dr Burgess was an alderman on the Wagga Wagga City Council from 1897 to 1900. In 1925, Ms Trengrove and her daughter Iris moved into 38 Morrow Street, then called "Wollundry", which they operated as a boarding house.

In 1937, the building was taken over by the Armed Forces and used for accommodation for Service Women.

After the war, the YMCA first rented, then purchased the building. For three decades, it fulfilled the purpose of providing young people working and studying in Wagga Wagga with a pleasant home in the centre of the city.

In 1975 the building was sold to the N.O.W. Ministry.

In 1983, Barbara and James Little purchased 38 Morrow Street and commenced restoring the upstairs area. A short time after purchasing this historic Wagga Wagga landmark, they opened "The Manor" Restaurant. They have completely restored this magnificent building with its old world charm and have operated it as a successful guesthouse and restaurant.
