Carter Place Hall

Carter Place Hall is a large house that dates from the late 18th century and was extended in the early 19th century. It is currently derelict. The building features an ashlar facade with watershot coursed sandstone on the sides and rear, and a hipped slate roof with chimneys on the ridge and at the left side wall. The plan is double-depth, consisting of five bays with three additional bays added on the left.

The house is three storeys high and has a symmetrical, classical-style facade with a pediment. Notable features include a first-floor band, a fluted frieze with swags, a dentilled cornice, and a parapet. The central three-bay pediment projects slightly and has a prominent square porch from the 19th century. This porch contains a doorway with an egg-and-dart surround, flanked by coupled fluted Corinthian pilasters, an entablature, a cornice, and a balustrade decorated with lions' heads and swags. Each side of the porch has large triple-light sash windows, while the first-floor window above features a pilastered architrave with a segmental pediment, and the second-floor window above has a moulded architrave. All other windows are sash without glazing bars, with the second-floor windows being smaller. The pediment contains a cartouche surmounted by a lion and flanked by swags.

To the left of the main facade, there is a slightly set-back, pedimented three-bay extension that matches the style of the main building. The right return wall features a later 19th-century two-storey polygonal bay. At the rear, there is a round-headed stairlight among other features. Inside, the hall is now badly decayed, but elaborate moulded plasterwork and a coved alcove are still visible. Historically, the hall was the home of the Turner family, who were landowners in the township.
