The building was an excellent example of construction and architectural style for the period. Mr Walter Trigwell selected the land in 1900 and it was know as Haddletons.
The Haddleton Homestead is located off Trigwell Bridge Road and approximately 100m north of the banks of the Blackwood River. The Homestead is build of bricks that were made on the farm and the front of the homestead has been constructed with two different coloured bricks. There is coloured lead light glass around the door (both on the sides and above). Originally the house had a bull nosed verandah. It is a three bedroom house that also has a lounge room, kitchen, dinning room, and a main passage. The washroom and bathroom were on the back of the house. There are three fireplaces throughout the house.
The bricks were made and fired on the farm by Mr Walter Trigwell and Jack Charles. The timber was cut on the farm and carted to Stewarts Mill at Glenorchy. The timber was used for the roof, floors windows and door frames. The house was flooded in the 1955 and 1982 floods. A water mark on the walls at around 10 to 12 feet above floor level shows the height of the 1982 flood waters. The Trigwell family left the house after the 1955 floods and it has not been occupied since. There is a lonely grave site south of the homestead which is marked with a stone and a plaque which indicated that two Dale children who died in 1887 are buried there.
