Description

Rock Hall Fishing Station is an earlier 19th-century building, with the lower bothy dated 1835 and the ice house dated 1842. It is a two-storey, four-bay fishing station that includes an ice house below. The structure is built of tooled rubble, which is whitewashed and features polished margins, with long and short quoins.

The southeast elevation is asymmetrical, featuring two windows on the first floor in the two bays to the left. The two bays to the right are advanced, with a doorway to the left on the ground floor that has a lintel dated "1835." Stone steps to the left of the doorway lead up to a flat timber doorway that breaks the eaves to the first floor. There is a window on both the ground and first floors of the bay to the right, and a window on the ground floor with a boarded timber opening on the first floor of the gabled left return.

The northeast elevation is also asymmetrical and has two bays with an M-gable. A modern ramp slopes up from the left bay to the right, which has a boarded timber sliding door flanked to the left by a painted-out opening.

The northwest elevation is nearly symmetrical and has five bays. There is a concrete porch with steps to the left leading to a flat timber door in the centre bay. The openings to each flanking bay on the left are infilled, while there are windows in each flanking bay on the right.

The southwest elevation is asymmetrical and features a slate-roofed lean-to entrance to the ice house, which is set into the hillside. It has a boarded timber door to the left, flanked to the right by a tooled datestone reading "1842." There is a boarded-up opening to the outer right and a two-pane skylight in the slate roof. A window is located in the centre of the ground floor, with another window off-centre to the left on the first floor, and a protruding ledge set in the gablehead.

The building predominantly features four-pane timber sash and case windows, a corrugated-iron roof and ridge, cement-faced skews, and a coped red brick gablehead stack to the southwest with a circular can. There is also a corniced pink sandstone gablehead stack to the northeast, along with cast-iron and PVCu rainwater goods.

Inside, the ice house consists of two chambered vaulted areas, and there are brick and stone fireplaces.
