Statement of Significance
The pastoral run 'Muntham' was established by Victoria's first permanent settlers, the Henty Brothers, in 1837, at the junction of the Glenelg and Wannon Rivers. Edward Henty developed this property into the principal Western District horse and cattle stud of the 1850's. The one and a half storey barn, constructed of hand made red bricks on stone foundations at an unknown date, but possibly the late 1840's, served as a store house on the station.
The Red Brick Barn is located on one of the oldest established pastoral properties in Victoria. Edward Henty was the first permanent settler in Victoria and 'Muntham' was considered to be the leading stud property in the State in the 1850's. The Red Brick Barn is an unusual structure of a type rarely used in Victoria and one which is modelled on English farmhouse traditions of the early nineteenth century.
The Red Brick Barn is in a depressed and deteriorating structural condition.
