Johnson’s Stables are a fine example of rural buildings constructed of local materials. Johnson’s Stables are associated with the horse racing industry, which has a long standing tradition in the district.
The building is set on a large block of land retaining a rural feel within suburbia. The substantially built stables are constructed from random rubble, smooth faced limestone with face brick quoins. The roof is corrugated iron. The stables are located within the Roe Highway Reserve.
Johnson’s Stables were originally owned by a Mr Billett, and then by trainer, Jock Collinson. Jake Sumpton, followed by his son and then grandson were the next owners. In 1944 the Johnson family moved to the property. Bill Johnson was well known for training successful trotting horses, using Robbs Jetty Beach for training. Trotting horses are still stabled on the property.
