Orange Springs is a representative example of a relatively intact mud brick house of the 1890s, that demonstrates the community spirit, and the commemoration of the loss of family members.
Single storey mud brick with a hipped roof with break pitch verandas to three sides. There is a headstone that commemorates Mary Hatch 29 March 1901 aged 70, and her two Andrews grandchildren; Ellen aged 4 years, and Edward aged 1.5 years who died on 15 and 17 March 1901 respectively.
Orange Springs was established by William and Sara Andrews who built a small house in 1882 after getting married. In 1893, Joseph Harris built the existing house for the Andrews. The Andrews lived and farmed in priority to Sara's parents William & Mary Hatch at Fernwood, and Uncle and Aunty William and Ann Bayliss at Bulgurra. In 1930 Andrews sold to Reg Darch who lived and farmed with his family until 1958 when it was sold to Harry Spurge.
