History
Shillinglaw Cottage was built in about 1859 as a residence by George Stebbing, a local pioneer builder who was responsible for a number of other important buildings in the area, including the Uniting Church and former CBA Bank built in 1880.
The building is constructed from handmade bricks using an unusual design featuring burnt header bricks throughout the facade.
It was originally built on the site of the shire offices but was relocated brick by brick to the present site in 1964/65.
There are two large photographs hanging in the main dining room which show the cottage in 1964 on the original site.
