Place & story
Old Coote Hall in 1837
Samuel Lewis found Old Coote Hall beside the Boyle River converted into a farmhouse. A round tower on its northern side retained a conical roof, while enclosing walls surrounded the remains of other buildings. His 1837 account describes an earlier fortified residence adapted for agricultural use, preserving part of its tower and enclosure within the working landscape. [2]
