      History

      The house was built for John William Roberts circa. 1906 and was a family residence for the Roberts family until its purchase by The Town of Woody Point in 2004 as part of an overall waterfront development project. The house underwent restoration to its original character and furnished with either furnishings left with the house or donations and loans from local residents. The house opened as a visitor centre and commenced visitor tours in 2005.
