,, .r '1f\/leC~..J' FURTHER RESEARCH The following are suggestions for areas of further physical research : • A landscape assessment of the property generally. This should include the preparation of a detailed site plan showing significant plantings, their condition / rarity and able to assist with on-going maintenance and management of the external areas. • An outline archaeological site plan showing the areas of sensitivity. This drawing could be developed from the above landscape site plan and would assist in the management of the grounds and future development ideas. • A site plan prepared, possibly with the assistance of the Dalton family, showing the location of Dalton era elements within the Duntryleague landscape. This would include those elements noted on the aerial photograph on page 42 of this CMP and any others discovered in further research. • A fabric assessment of the interiors of the significant buildings. This should include the preparation of a detailed set of floor plans / roof plan and able to assist with on-going maintenance and management of the buildings. The fabric assessment would identify significant fabric and could be set up in a similar manner as the external summary sheets. The assessments could also include routine maintenance recommendations for specific elements such as stained glass, tessellated tiles, polished joinery etc. REFERENCES Published / Unpublished Material The History of Duntryleague, Don Mearns, published by OGC Centennial Committee, 1986 The Daltons of Orange, Robert I Bruce, published by the Dalton Family, Orange, 1988 Duntryleague Guesthouse, James Buckley, unpublished report by John Blackwood Archts, Duntryleague Guesthouse and Golf Club Orange, publicity booklet, published by Orange Golf Club, date unknown Heritage Study, Hughes Trueman Ludlow, Department of Planning/ Orange City Council, 1986 Central Western Advocate, June 25, 1979 Duntryleague Centenary Celebrations, Central Western Daily, Commemorative Feature, March 5, 1976 Duntryleague with Lodge, Park, Gates Stables, National Trust of Australia (NSW) Listing Card, 1976 Duntryleague with Lodge, Park, Gates and former stables, Australian Heritage Places Inventory and RNE, database 000897, registered 1978 Duntryleague with Lodge, Park, Gates, Stables, NSW Heritage Council, State Heritage Inventory database number 5045554, 1999 Existing Plans and Drawings Dalton Era: Nil Orange Golf Club Era: ,-~1u11ne-, C~f\lCJT1<x11\1luric1g,r ent P'or \/icJrd, 2Crn Fn, ii Urc«t Alterations and Additions Duntryleague, l" to 16', E.E.

From this extensive list of significant buildings and properties both in Orange and Sydney it is clear that the Dalton's contribution to region has been outstanding. Benjamin Backhouse Details of the various builders and designers of the properties associated with the Dalton family are not well documented at this stage. It is likely that James Dalton (Jnr) had well• established and trusted contacts throughout his long !ife in business and sought advice and skills from a wide range of businesses and professionals. However, Benjamin Backhouse is known at this stage to have been directly involved in some key buildings for the Dalton family with his designs for Killarney (1875), Duntryleague (c1876), Dalton House (cl880) in Pitt Street Sydney and Ammerdown (c1906) in Orange. It is possible that other Dalton buildings may later be found to have come from his office in Sydney or branch in Bathurst. Benjamin Backhouse was born in England in 1829 the son of a stone mason. From 1850 he worked as a stone mason with his father and later as a builder-architect on his own before )untrv1eccJue ()uilnc SECTION 3.0 CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The historical context of Duntryleague, its physical and architectural evidence are important aspects in the assessment of significance. The historical overview in section 2.1 together with the physical overview in section 2.2 give a clearer understanding of the place. The following contextual analysis begins to place the property in an overall context, both architectural and thematic, from the little documentary material that is available at this stage. ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS During the 100 years from the 1830s when James Dalton senior arrived in NSW to the 1930s when the Orange Golf Club purchased Duntryleague the Dalton family had made an indelible mark on the fabric of Orange and the architecture of the region. The success of their business enterprises gave them the wealth, influence and the contacts to build some fine buildings of substance to support their prosperous business interests and provide homes for the local family dynasty.
