A single storey bungalow was built by Henry Cox
on the old Luttrell family grant. The bungalow was named Glenmore after the Scottish birthplace of his wife. The original "L" shaped structure boasted "attic rooms beneath a hipped roof; dormer windows accentuated by fretted barge boards and large wine cellars below". The home was used for family and social gatherings and various other outings. The grounds of Glenmore were used for agricultural and pastoral activity, producing successful crops of wheat and orchards. |
