Mountain View Homestead and General Store

Mountain View Homestead comprises a two-story building with decorative balconies and timber details, constructed between 1880 and 1894 at Wisemans Creek.

David Smith Todd, who arrived from England in 1854, built this homestead and operated a general store that served local farmers and gold rush miners.

The building combines traditional wattle and daub construction techniques with French Renaissance design elements, reflecting the architectural preferences of rural Australian settlers.

The property includes extensive farmland previously used for sheep grazing and orchards, with a vegetable garden that supported self-sufficient living.

This structure remains the only standing two-story homestead in Australia built using the wattle and daub construction method during the Victorian era.
