The house is divided into the main house with the servants' quarters attached to the south elevation. The verandah is raised and has Mclean's patent columns and elegant lacework. Surrounding the main entrance, under the tower, is ornamental masonry, consisting of pilasters, bases, capitals, and brackets. This entrance is reached by a flight of slate steps. On the left hand side of the tower is an elegant bay window. The interior has several marble fireplaces and the main entrance vestibule has a multi-coloured tiled floor. The staircase is freestanding. Struan House has an Italianate style, using the three orders of Greek architecture, Doric; Ionic; and Corinthian. The two storey house was built by John Robertson and was opened by a grand ball on Jat1uary 27th., 1876. It was esti•Ytated to cost 10,000 pounds. Motivation for its magnificence is said to have included a determination to outrival all other homesteads in the region. Repo l't Text : REFERENCES: J. Murdoch & H.
