Possibly early 19th century former pub, acquired by the State in August 1916 and closed in December 1916. Lengthy conversation with the current owner of the property revealed his Grandfather purchased the premises from the State Management Scheme in the early 1920's for £120 and his Grandmother ran the former pub as a youth hostel for some years. The north and south wings are later additions and the building is now a private dwelling with no public access.
