Why is it significant?
The bluestone outbuilding and stone wall at 126 Mt. Lofty Road, Redesdale are historically significant for their early construction. It is likely that the outbuilding was constructed by John Lake prior to his crown grant is 1871. The stone walls were probably constructed during the period of his lease, circa 1860. George Holley and John James Lake became tenants in common in 1881 and by 1886, Lake had sold his portion of the land to Holley, who remained the sole proprietor until Michael Donovan bought the place in 1890. Criterion A
The bluestone outbuilding has a hipped roof. The low eaves height, together with a large stone and brick chimney indicate that this building was used as an outbuilding to an earlier house and may have served as a kitchen. The extant house possibly dates to around 1900. The stonemasonry is executed as coursed and squared random rubble. Of note is the fact that there are no gutters. A large elm tree compliments this site. Criterion D
