Thomas and Jane Rose built their home in about 1811. Known as "Rose Cottage" it was occupied by members of the Rose family continuously until the 1960s. It is the oldest timber slab cottage in Australia.
This building was in continuous use as the Police Station Office at Riverstone from 1888 till 1970's.
The first building to be moved intact to The Village from Richmond in 1969, it started life as a Saddlery with residence, thence a Tailoring business (Alfred Perry), a Saddlery again, a "House of Shady Ladies", and finally a grocery store.
