The homestead

|
THE HOMESTEAD was built in 1875 by Buckley, a builder from Armidale. Evidence suggests it was originally a classic colonial cottage with northern veranda and separate kitchen. The buildings were subsequently joined to create a living and dining space and verandas added on the eastern side and on the western side with a scullery.
The additional cottage the ‘bachelor’s quarters’ was built around 1890, and included a post office to service the mail coach run through the property. |
