Statement of Significance
Warrawagine Homestead has aesthetic and historic significance. Warrawagine was one of the original pastoral leases in the Marble Bar district and is still being operated as a pastoral lease. The current homestead is the second house built on Warrawagine.
Warragine Homestead is classified by the National Trust, and is on the Register of the National Estate.
Physical Description
There are three major buildings on the Warragine Homestead block: the main house, the former quarters and the former store. Based on photographic evidence, the following observations can be made.
The main house was built in 1901 of local stone, with walls 18" thick. Above the homestead roof is a parapet which was built to offer protection if needed. The verandah around the homestead originally had stone uprights, but these have been replaced with timber posts, and a timber gable and lattice work have been added to the front facade of the main house.
A building, thought to be the former quarters, adjoins the main house. It has a hipped corrugated iron roof, with a wide verandah supported by timber posts. The stone work appears to have been rendered.
The stone store is adjacent to the quarters. The stone walls have stone quoining and ochre coloured pointing. A verandah across one elevation is supported by slender metal posts.
There are accounts of another building, a stone wagon shed, but there is no photographic evidence available.
