Condition
Good This simple cottage was built c1915 by Levi John Wallis (1874-1966). Levi’s father, John Wallis established a large orchard named ‘Orangedale’ and was an active member of the local community as a representative on the Roads Board and the Fruitgrowers association. John and Emma Wallis were the first landholders in the district and had eight children. Three sons, including Levi, took up land in the district and the area was named ‘Walliston’ in recognition of the family’s contribution. Levi Wallis was granted the land on which this cottage is located in 1895 and worked as a labourer and gardener in the district. He married Ada Morris in 1913 and the couple must have settled on this land soon after and built a basic shack to live in. This cottage was originally intended as a stable but the growing family moved in to it as apparently it was better than the shack. Levi and Ada had three children by 1916 and a fourth in 1921. Levi Wallis continued to work as a labourer finding work with the Roads Board clearing roads and later he secured employment with the Railways. The house was occupied until 1978 and then fell into disrepair. The current owners undertook conservation works in 2005 and the place is currently [2013] used for accommodation.
