Statement of Significance

An Overnewton homestead complex incorporating a picturesque example of Scots baronial design in the two-storey section which was designed by Thomas M. Taylor and built in 1859, is of historical, architectural and Social significance as a rare and unusual example of early squatters pastoral estate reflecting an unusual origin. Several other aspects of the homestead are of importance, including the spiral staircase in the western turret and the billiard room. The earliest part of the homestead dates from about 1849. The classification applies to the complex of stone buildings only. The homestead is also significant for its association with pastoralist William Taylor.
