Statement of Significance
Mewburn Park was taken up by Lachlan Macalister and Dr, Arbuckle in 1840. Captain Johnson-Boe (a pioneer pastoralist and later parliamentary representative for North Gippsland) acquired the run soon afterwards and erected the original U-plan single storey brick homestead with wide timber verandahs and shingle roof in the 1940's in a typical Colonial venacular tradition. This was the first brick house in the region.Additions were made in the 1930's, forming a rambling complex. The later brick stables and offices are of interest.
One of the original wings was demolished in the 1930's and additions made to the front of the house. The 1840's surviving wing is in good condition with the shingles under the existing corrugated iron.
