Summary

[General description] Clarendon House is a three storey Georgian style stone building with dormer windows on its top floor and a widow's walk, built by Robert and Mary Thomas, pioneers and proprietors of the Register newspaper. On the right is their home, Rhantregwynwen Cottage, named after Robert's birthplace in Wales. The group of people at the front door are probably the family. Amongst the people shown in the street are a gentleman on horseback, a man driving a bullock team and some Aborigines.
