Physical Description
The Residence (fmr) is a detached single storey masonry and iron dwelling (1890 with possible earlier sections dating from c.1845 and adapted c.1957 as an aged care facility) in the Federation Queen Anne style. The place contains many typical features of this style including a projecting bay window on a side elevation, bull-nosed verandahs to the front and side elevation (possibly a recent addition) that feature decorative wooden fretwork.
Internally, the place exhibits traditional late 19th decorative elements including decorative arches and plasterwork however no decorative ceilings remain evident in the dwelling.
The site also contains a Store and Cellar, (c.1837, c.1940), a vernacular brick and iron building comprising two rooms, with a single-roomed stone cellar below.
History
Originally surveyd for a fish market it was then granted to Frant Whitfield in 1833. Whitfield built a mud brick cottage on the site. in 1837, Charles Pratt bought the site and began to develop it, constructing a store and cellar first, followed by a house and coach house. In 1886, Bertie Gull (grandsone of Pratt) took up residence with his wife and they remained at Bebo Moro until their deaths in 1936. The place was eventually purchased by the Sisters of Charity who developed the property into an aged care facility.
