Outbuilding

The outbuilding at 223 Mangans Lane is of local historic, technical and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.

The outbuilding at 223 Mangans Lane is historically significant for its long-term association with the Manning and Mangan families. The outbuilding was built prior to 1874 when Simon Manning was granted the sixty acres of land. Criterion A

The outbuilding at 223 Mangans Lane is technically significant for its construction of vertical timber palings and poles. Whilst there are several outbuildings of vertical timber palings, this building has more evidence of being used as a hut on the property. There is a massive bluestone chimney used for cooking and heating. Although the roof has been replaced with corrugated iron, it is possible that there is evidence of an earlier roof of palings, shingles or bark at a previous time. There is a timber floor and the building was once divided into rooms. The interior is significant for its use of a coved ceiling and the remains of paper covering palings on some of the walls.
