The Wine Cellar
The Wine cellar has a secret entrance only accessible by the gentry, apparently it was to keep the wine secure away from the staff!! An iron bar door with padlock separates the wine cellar from the dry store, the door is still intact, just cannot find a key....
The Service Bell System
The service bell main panel is located in the servants hall, the bell above the panel would ring and a red flag would appear on the panel below to alert the staff which room requested service. The system was battery powered by three cell batteries located under the floor.
The service bells are located in all the main rooms next to the fire place, these are hard wired back to the service panel, when the gentry needed some attention, they would call for a maid.
The Electric Light Control Panel
The Electric Light Control Panel is located in the Hall on the northern side of the homestead, the property was one of the first homes in Victoria, circa 1901, to have electric lights throughout the house, these were powered by two generators located in the generator building at the rear of the property. The panel was found still intact and relocated back to where it was originally located. The marble panel with brass throw switches is encased in a polished timber box with a glass front. The staff would be responsible to throw the switches to power up the lights as the daylight faded into the evening.
