Rivelin 68 Guernsey Street, Scone NSW 2337

"Rivelin" was built between 1934 and 1966 by a local 6th generation stonemason, it has been in the same family for 85 years.
The house is made of solid stone including all internal first floor walls. There is approximately 500 tons of stone in the building. The detailing of the stonework is a particularly fine example of the skills of a master mason.
The outer walls are 40 cm thick, making the house cool in summer and retaining its heating in winter.
The stone in the house is mainly reclaimed from buildings in the local area which was acquired when these buildings were being demolished or re-modelled.
