00511 Davilak House

Statement of Significance

The building has touches of two period styles. Features such as Georgian steps, front door and internal fireplaces are applied to enhance the appearance in a late Victorian era. The early local Georgian primitive stone and brickwork is not in sympathy with the main structure.
The main historic value is in the building within a setting rich in history of early pioneers. The owners wish to restore and use the building to house artefacts donated from the district.
Note: the Museum was opened in 1983

Physical Description

The homestead was built on the west side of Lake Manning for Azelia Helena Manning in approx. 1905 when she married. She ran it as a farm homestead. The construction of the house is in two distinct styles. The rear section which appears to be the first built, is in two distinct styles. The rear section which appears to be the first built, is of local limestone with red brick quoins at corners and around openings. This construction is consistent with the associated farm buildings i.e. Sulky Shed and Stables.
The main house is of solid brick construction with outside walls plastered, shingle roof (now covered with Marseilles tiles). A formal lawn setting braces the eastern side with two large Queen palms and a Norfolk Pine. The house has had minor internal changes to accommodate being rented I more recent years.
The reserve, part of the original Manning estate, consists of adjacent park and lake and caretakers cottage has been built nearby. There is also evidence of a well behind the homestead.
