The Doll's House is registered by Heritage Council Victoria. This tiny two roomed cottage was built in the mid 1870s at 130 Islington Street to house local workers and their families. It was included in the Housing Investigation and Slum Abolition report, 1937, but remained a home for another 40 years. The Education Department bought the land in 1978 for Collingwood College and the cottage was relocated. Collingwood Historical Society 2006.
