Lake Innes Ruins

Lake Innes House was the home of colonial entrepreneur Major Archibald Clunes Innes.

During the 1830s and 1840s, Major Innes acquired substantial land holdings and businesses throughout the Hastings and New England areas.

Lake Innes House was constructed in several stages and grew to assume the proportions of a grand country mansion.

These extensive ruins comprise one of the oldest surviving brick structures in northern New South Wales, and present a highly significant part of Australia's convict and colonial heritage.
