Corner high Street and Russell Street
The two buildings between the old saddlery store and the Prince of Wales hotel have been demolished and replaced by a single storey addition to the hotel. The old colonial Georgian hotel was built about 1836 and is a 2 storey painted brick corner building with hipped roof, splayed corner, and double hung windows.

The small building on the left of this sketch was the Anglican Chapel dedicated to St Andrew and was officially opened 18 February, 1837. The building served as a schoolroom on week-days. The roof and chimney stacks in the centre of the sketch is the rectory referred to by Glover as the "Menage".

The central two storey brick pile is flanked by service wings enclosing a rear courtyard, and there are extensive brick stables and outbuildings
