Summary

Residence at Urrbrae owned by Mr Peter Waite. Urrbrae House is a beautiful two storey bluestone mansion completed in 1891.

Peter and Matilda and their family moved into Urrbrae House in 1877. A gallery was used as a small picture gallery by the Waite family. Extensive gounds surrounded the property. This photograph shows a gentleman in a pony and trap outside the property which is surrounded by flowering shrubs
