bBuilt in 1868 for Mr Duncan McKellar and probably designed by Mr Alfred Scurry, this large single storey brick homestead with cellars has a verandah on three sides with elegant close coupled columns with a very simple and attractive timber valance. There are two unusual wrought iron ridge finials with a botanical motif which are noteworthy. Various additions and alterations were done in 1880, 1900 and 1926. To the rear there are still servants' quarters, black smith's shop, stables and equipment sheds in good condition and internally there are numerous examples of the original fire places, ornamental plasterwork, furniture and fittings.
