The original two storey building was constructed in 1836 using convict bricks and was used as a General Store and residence. Today the building contains the old shop and kitchen on the ground floor, a parlour, dining room, bedroom and nursery upstairs displaying a range of artefacts dating back to the 1830s. The original rain water tank is the feature of one room next to the old courtyard.
