  • O’Meara Home

    This unusual dwelling is a flat roof timber house, clad in weatherboard. It has a covered veranda, and is detailed with fancy fretwork and timber casement windows with lead-lights. Mrs. O’Meara is remembered as living here but we are not sure if she was the first owner of the house. John and Elizabeth O’Meara arrived in the mid-1890s and the family originally lived in one of the railway houses (no longer there). Daughter Julia married Bill Calvert senior, the butcher.
