History

Mr Arthur Hillman's residence. Hillman was a State trained Engineer. His father acted as a Surveyor General in absence of J S Roe. The late Mrs Strickland insisted that part of this home included a section of the fmr Jones Woodbridge Inn. Baltic pine linings and ceilings are of note. The weatherboard section of this home is part of a very early building that requires further investigation. The window on the south wall is believed to be very old.
