MULLER HOUSE - Physical Description 1
Four rooms of an earlier cottage remain within this larger house, developed in (at least) 3 stages.
The four rooms are clearly apparent within the house, but not externally as the cottage roof has been removed and a new roof added that spans the whole of the present structure.
The cottage was originally entered from the south side; this entry is now an internal doorway. Two of the rooms (one was once the kitchen) have been opened into a single space (now a kitchen).
The coved form of the ceilings, and the scale of the spaces indicates their earlier form. The structure is built on bush pole stumps.
