MURROWOOD HOMESTEAD COMPLEX - Physical Description 1
The house known as Murrowood Homestead is constructed of red brick. The bricks are soft and porous indicating that they are of a fairly early date of manufacture prior to the ready availability of machine made pressed red brick. The earlier section of the homestead is of brick and the later addition was built of timber but has been destroyed by fire. The house is now in a poor state following a fire and has lost its roof structure and parts of the brick walls are unstable.
A stone outbuilding with brick gable end walls is of particular interest. The stonework is of sandstone laid in random rubble. One room has been whitewashed inside and there is a brick chimney, indicating that this area may have been originally designed for habitation as well as farm use. The gable ends are constructed of a similar red brick to the homestead and there is a small panel of hit and miss brickwork for ventilation. This building is set between peppercorn trees. There are some mature mulberry trees.MURROWOOD HOMESTEAD COMPLEX - Physical Conditions
