The home is researched by leading conservation architect Peter Freeman. This beautifully produced book chronicles the events that happened to make it possible to restore the manse, which was built in 1865. The book also tells the story of Moruya, of its mighty river, and of the events that shaped Moruya prehistory and subsequent European settlement. The author shares the step-by-step process of researching and restoring a dilapidated historic building.
