In the front porch area we found this. It reads:

"Erected 24/10/1940 by Wright and Counter, Tradesmen".

Counter and Wright owned a sawmill and although they did not own and timber themselves they managed to "select" a lot of beautiful long straight knot-free timber for this house from the logs they were milling under contract for others. The house was built for the Counter family.

The house sits against a steep hillside so this wall had to be waterproofed and backfilled up to the bottom of the windows. There is now a carpark at this level and leads to the upstairs house via a ramp.
