Residence 10

Built sometime between the 1890s-1910s, relocated c1958, c2000

The Residence is a small timber-framed and -clad house standing south of Anderson House.  Originally built as a residence, it has been relocated twice within the complex (in 1958 it was removed from west of McDonnell House to north of the Medical Superintendent’s Residence, and from there in c2000 to its current location, which was previously the nurse's quarters location).  Fabric relating to and after its 1958 move, including its location and setting, fence and yard, verandah enclosures above handrail height and front balustrade, kitchen and bathroom fit-outs, and stumps, is not of state-level cultural heritage significance. In 2020, it is vacant and highly intact.
