History

Historic photo

The Old Rectory was designed by Edmund Blacket in 1849 as a rectory for St. Paul's Anglican Church (1848), also a Blacket building. The Old Rectory was also partly used as a school to supplement the rector's income.

New owners in the 1970s renovated the property and began restoring the grounds, which had become a "wilderness" overgrown with blackberries.

In 1982 the owners of the Old Rectory were granted $25,000 from the Heritage Conservation fund. The grant was used to assist in the restoration of the building. As one of the conditions attached to the assistance the owners applied to the Minister for the making of a Permanent Conservation Order over the item. To ensure the long term protection of the building the Heritage Council recommended to the Minister that a Permanent Conservation Order be placed over the building.

The Permanent Conservation Order was gazetted on 26 October 1984. It was transferred to the State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
