The History of Ash Island N.S.W. Australia – Revegetation and Restoration

The Schoolmasters house has local heritage significance. It was built in the mid 1890s to house the schoolmasters who administered and taught at the Ash Island Public School located a short walk to the west. The house has stood through floods, been the home for many tennants and during World War II was leased by the RAAF.

Surdily built of double brick, the house has Baltic Pine ceilings, tallowwood floors, cedar doors and windows, and three marble fireplaces. Significantly it is the last of the buildings on the the islands in the estuary still standing on its original footprint. When the last tenant left the house in 1997 it underwent restoration to return to its near original condition.
