History: The farm Lismore has been in the Barry family for five generations and the homestead has never been changed since it came into their possession. The homestead consists of a T-shaped house with two minor extensions on each end of the facade. The house is largely in the Cape-Dutch style with thatched roof and dormer front gable with half-hipped sides. The door and window surrounds are highlighted with plaster mouldings. The original part was reputedly built about the middle of the 18th century and the alterations were done in the 1840. At that stage the property became the country estate of John Barry of the well-known firm of Barry and Nephews. Proclaimed 1982.
