The Marchagee Roadhouse has some local historic significance only, given its role in road transport through the district.
A rectangular building of cream brick construction. There are large windows to north and west elevations and two large water tanks to the rear of the building. A canopy extends from the west elevation to cover the petrol bowsers.
A busy roadhouse in the sixties and early seventies, it closed in the mid eighties. The business rapidly reduced as traffic began to use the Brand Highway in preference to the Midlands Road beginning in the early '70s. A second roadhouse was located next to it, but was burnt down and not rebuilt. (Source: Pat Bothe).
