Wallalloo Park, 80 Bolangum Inn Road, MARNOO

The homestead at Wallalloo Park is of architectural interest. The asymmetrical composition hipped roof forms, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, encircling verandah and timber framed bay windows and doors are those particular features that contribute to the architectural amenity of the place. Given that the homestead has experienced considerable change, its integrity is low.

The woolshed at Wallalloo Park is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular outbuilding of the 19th century. These qualities include the very long and broad hipped roof form that terminates into the jerkin head roof at one end. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, vertical timber slab and galvanised corrugated iron wall construction and the exposed rudimentary timber framing and timber pens on the interior. The exotic trees and setting contributes to the significance of the place.
