Mount Talbot Homestead
TOOLONDO VIC 3401 - Property No B1118
|
The Mount Talbot pastoral run at Toolondo was acquired by Dr Robert Officer in 1847. In 1859 his sons Charles and Suetonius took over the property and apparently in c.1862 Charles Officer had erected a substantial two storey bluestone mansion with encircling timber verandah as an addition to the original single storey homestead. Hamilton surveyor J S Jenkins designed this homestead using contemporary pattern book sources.
