Tottington Homestead, Stawell Road, St Arnaud, is a single storied homestead and outbuildings built for pastoralist Laurence Rostren during, it is believed, the 1850s or 1860s. A ballroom and the south wing were added in the 1880s for Andrew Anderson. The brick homestead is believed to be constructed on mudstone footings with hipped corrugated iron roofs. Weatherboard was also used and at least one building is built of stone.
