Ziebell's Bluestone Farmhouse c. 1851
This farm which was the largest in Westgarthtown (now known as Thomastown) was built with walls 61 cm thick, in the typical design of German farmhouses. It has a steep pitched roof. Originally it had split wooden shingle and were later covered with British made 'Gospel Oak' galvanized iron which gave greater protection from the elements and allowed cleaner water run-off to the tanks.
Surviving buildings include the farmhouse, cartshed, bathhouse, smokehouse, a well and a beautiful cottage garden.
