AT-shaped main building with 1920's modern replacement Cap~ Dutch gable and a
thatched roof. The entrance has wooden grooved pilasters and double doors
(2 x 3 panels) with an attractive Georgian sunburst fanlight. The windows are
small paned sashes (3 x 4 panes) with solid half shutters and inside folding
shutters. The original building was built in 1850 to serve as a Magistrate's
court and goal, for which purpose it was used until about 1926. It was
rehabilitated in 1983. Floors, ceilings and grooved beams are of pine. At
the back there is 8 semi-detached extension with two stepped parapets and a
verandah. Another restored house at right angles to this part has been linked
to the complex at the back.
Parts of this complex are of great age and the building group itself exercises
an enormous influence on the quality of Wellington Road which it abuts.
It is already a declared monument.
