Statement of Significance

This building is typical example of the type of residence constructed during the time of the Tannin Factory. However, new modifications do not replicate initial historic value.

Physical Description

Tomato Tony's is an old, small, timber made, corrugated iron roofed residence. New modifications clash with the original building.

History

The cottage was one of the first built in the Ranford area. It responded to the growth of the Tannin Extracts Factory.

The cottage was later used to house post-war migrants.
The area surrounding the house was utilised by aboriginal communities during and after the war. They mainly lived in tents and rough buildings.
