Summary

Tea Tree Gully steam flour mill on left, Old Highercombe Hotel on right. Early in 1854 Thomas Pearce applied for a licence for a public house at Tea Tree Gully, 'near Steventon'. William Haines, District Clerk of Tea Tree Gully Council and elected to Parliament in 1878, was the owner from 1860 until 1875, when the Highercombe Hotel closed. The Government purchased the builidng in 1879 and in May 1880 the bar became a post and telegraph office, which closed in 1963. Much of the building served as a headmaster's residence until 1934. In the 1890s the large assembly room downstairs became the second classroom of the Tea Tree Gully School. Since 1967 it has been a folk museum. It houses the historical artefacts and records of the district. Original number 153.
