The History ??? A brief Overview
The site called ???Weroona??? was established in 1905 by Mr G J Waterhouse who owned a shipping company and went on to serve as president of the Blue Mountains Shire Council from 1908 to 1911. In 1946 the property was acquired by the state government as a state ward establishment and was destroyed by fire in 1957 when the current building was built and opened in 1959. ???Weroona??? was acquired by the current owners in 2005 as a private residence and has been extensively renovated to the point where now the property is considered pristine and worthy of the ???Estate??? tag.
Impressive!
