One of the early stone and slab cottages remaining in the Berrima district. Eucalyptus tress provided the early settler with abundant large straight slabs to use vertically or horizontally in the wall construction of his slab hut. The roof was either great sheets of bark or split shingles. The first dwellings used by the shepherds and stockmen were usually made entirely of bark.

The former Church of England Rectory sited away from the town, overlooking the Wingecarribee River and Berrima Common. The dressed sandstone house was built for Rev J Hassall in the 1850s and passed into private ownership in the 1900s. The superb grounds with retaining walls, established trees and exotic plants extend down to the river. The property, bequeathed to the National Trust, is not open to the public.

Inset: An early photograph of the grounds of the Parsonage with the ruins of the coach house and stables which Rev J Hassall had renovated for a denominational school for Young Ladies.
