Mitchell sold the property to Albert Edward Bowman who built a grand two-storey residence on the banks of the Mitta Mitta River, but with the announcement of the building of the Hume Dam, the decision was made to demolish the house and build on higher ground, as a single storey residence, being completed in the 1920s, before Lake Hume inundated the farming land.
