Horsley Homestead, Heritage-listed residence in Dapto, Australia.
The colonial residence comprises four main rooms with a central hall, constructed using limewashed brick walls and slate roofs with cedar joinery throughout.
William Frances Weston established the 500-acre property in 1818 under Governor Macquarie's grant, naming it after his homeland in Surrey, England.
The property transformed from a family estate into a small village by 1841, housing 84 residents and 21 tenant farmers working the surrounding lands.
The homestead served multiple purposes over time, functioning as a museum from 1972 to 1985 and later as an event venue until 1992.
The site contains early reinforced concrete silos and traditional cow sheds, maintaining substantial archaeological elements from 19th-century farming practices.
