Edward White bought it in 1860, and when Carl Brecht purchased the property in 1882 he erected stone wine cellars at the rear.
Brecht had established a vineyard named Rosemount on the site of the present-day Rosemount near Denman and in 1882 won gold for his wine at the International Exhibition in Bordeaux.
Many changes have been made over the years with the building operating as T. J. Purvis’s cordial factory and then as S. J. Torpey’s bakery.
The weatherboard shop was moved to this site around 1919. It is currently used as the St. Vincent de Paul Centre.
