Adair House, Adair Street
The land was originally purchased by T Blenkiron in 1861 and the existing house built c1875

Bowes' Cottages, Peg Leg Gully
The three stone and brick cottages c1860 were built by William Bowe and Sons. The Bowes came from Cumberland, England in the mid 1850's. They opened a quarry and built their homes close to the quarry using its stone for the buildings and the existing stone fences. The Bowes also were responsible for a number of the stone constructions in Maldon. The small house nearest the road was the birthplace of Colonel E J Bowe, the most senior Australian nurse at the time of WWII.

Bunya, Long Gully Road
The land was purchased in 1860 and the existing weatherboard house built around 1895. A notable feature of the house is the large Bunya tree on the corner.

Calder House, High Street
The land was purchased in 1857 by J Dolphin and was adjoined by another block with a frontage on Main Street. Thomas Calder, builder, undertaker, ironmonger, leased the property and later purchased it and the Main Street property in 1866. The residence appears to be constructed around 1880. Calder still occupied the premises in 1900. The building is now used as a restaurant and accommodation.

Dickman's Cottage, Long Gully Road
(Castlemaine Road, Cnr Sandy Creek Road)
Land was purchased by H Dickman in 1860 and the building was constructed c1860. The building is notable for the variety of outbuildings constructed in different materials.

Dr Hardy's Cottage, High Street
The land was purchased by C H Hardy in 1857 and the weatherboard and brick house was built in the same year. Dr Hardy had his practice on the site until he sold the property in 1861.

Ethandune, High Street
The house was constructed around 1870 of rendered brick. It was occupied from about 1890 by R D Oswald Jnr, the son of Robert Dent Oswald who owned the North British Mine. Oswald Jnr returned from a Bank Manager's in Queensland to take over his business interests. The original circular driveway leads from the gate to the front porch.

Kyndalyn, Parkins Reef Road
The land was purchased in 1862 and the weatherboard house constructed around 1866. The building appears to have operated as a shop in the small village that existed at that time to the south of Maldon. The house has an interesting timber valence on the verandah that abuts the front boundary. The building is a good example of an early miner's cottage.

Holy Trinity Parsonage, Templeton street
The land was purchased in 1867 and the brick building constructed by 1868 as the parsonage for the Church of England. The Rev. J Stretch was the first occupant. The building backs on to the Denominational School and Church Hall which was in operation at this time.

Laurel Cottage, Adair Street
The weatherboard cottage was built around 1865 and the land purchased the following year. The building is a classic miner's cottage of that time and the additional rooms added to the original building have been creatively arranged. The front garden is notable as it retains the original classic cottage garden design.

Lauriston House, High Street
The building was constructed in 1866 for Robert D Oswald, the owner of the North British Mine and the Caledonian Crushing battery. The construction was of stone by stonemasons W Bowe and Sons with ragstone from their quarry, but with the front wall constructed from dressed bluestone. The iron gate and the iron palisade fence are also notable features. The house is classified by the National Trust.

Lisle's Cottage, High Street
The land was first purchased in 1857 and the brick house was constructed in 1857. The house was built for Dr Lisle, a co-owner of the short-lived but rich Lisle's Reef mine. Dr Lisle left soon after and died penniless in Melbourne. The house was then occupied by doctors for most of its history.

Minilya, Adair Street
The land was purchased in 1857 and the existing house built around 1900. The construction is an ornate house in an imposing position and built of weatherboard on stone foundations. It was built by Charles Calder for his wife and soon to be born child. Charles was the son of Thomas Calder another of the wealthy traders of the town.

Mount Hawke, Adair Street
The land was purchased in 1859 and the original cottage was constructed around 1860. The building was originally owned by Samuel Dabb, a wealthy trader of the town, who owned a number of the larger stores in Main and High Streets. The building was extended in the 1870's with an unusual construction of solid brick walls on ragstone foundations, but with a weatherboard external lining. A ballroom was added to the house in the 1880's using the same construction. Antonia Barron's novel, Jeremy Jeremiah, was set in the house.

Old Post Office, Long Gully Road
The building was constructed in 1855 as a shop and residence. The first post office operated from a tent until the position was given to this store. It was used as the first permanent post office until 1857 when the post office moved to a building in Main Street.

Presbyterian Manse, Church Street
The land was purchased in 1858 by the Presbyterian Church. The first weatherboard building on the site was constructed in 1858 as a temporary residence for the Minister. Two further brick rooms were added in 1859 and the two visible brick rooms were added to the house in 1861.

Robinson's House, High Street
The land was purchased in 1859 and the house constructed prior to 1865. The gothic form of construction is unique in Maldon, The unusual gables, the timber barge boards and window trims are an unusual feature.

Rule's House, Adair Street
The land was purchased in 1861 and the large brick house constructed around 1897. The building appears to have been constructed by J Rule for his retirement. Rule was the part owner and legal manager of the South German Mine, the deepest, and one of the richest mines in Maldon.

School Cottage, High Street
The land was purchased in 1857 and the weatherboard cottage was built around 1860. The cottage has two wings at the rear, one of which housed Miss Farley's Private School.

Tressider's Cottage, High Street
The land was purchased in 1857 and the brick cottage constructed in 1859. This building acted as a landmark in the earlier descriptions of locations as street numbers are only a recent addition to Maldon.

Vivian's House, High Street
The land was purchased in 1857 and the brick house and shop were constructed around 1862. It appears as if the unusual brickwork around the windows and door were introduced when the building was altered to a residence in 1868. The building was owned by Thomas Vivian who carried out his business in the properties to the rear of the house.

Warnock's House, Spring street
The land was purchased in 1857 and the brick house was constructed around 1867 for James Warnock, a wealthy trader who owned the Beehive Store and Flour Mills in High Street. Alterations were made to the house in 1870.
