Attic House:
This charming, distinctive house was built in 1865 from sandstone gathered from the coastal cliffs. Mr. William Trail McLean, who arrived from Edinburgh in 1861, set up business here as a tailor, living downstairs and using the well-lit attic as his workroom. McLean made suits for the local gentry and racing silks for prominent horsemen such as Adam Lindsay Gordon. His strangest order, it is said, was a suit of clothes for a dancing kangaroo! The front verandah was a favourite gathering-place for smartly-dressed local men.
