Summary

[General description] This long rectangular two storey house has a short verandah with an archway over its entrance. There is lawn and garden in front of the house and mature trees to the side. When this run was being established in the 1840s there was friction between settlers and the local Buandig tribe and even in 1854 when this homestead was built the situation must still have been tense. It is reputed that there were slits built into the walls of the homestead through which a rifle could be fired. [On back of photograph] 'Frontier House, Glencoe / built by Messrs Leake in 1854 / Undated, before 1926'.
