Sale and Removal of House at 23 Powerhouse Lane Clermont

⁠⁠⁠Once home to the manager of the original Clermont Powerhouse/Station, it was then transitioned into a caretaker’s residence for the custodian of the Powerhouse Museum and has stood proudly behind the local high school for decades.  The oldest aerial photos found to date show the house in 1952, with locals dating the house from memory back to the 40’s at least. The façade of the building has been altered over the years to enhance usability as a residence. The verandas have been closed in and turned to bedrooms, the house has been raised and closed in underneath, and the weatherboard exterior has been replaced, but the structure and frame of the house have been retained. Building records and past approvals show most of these changes occurred in 1982, by the then owners, The Capricornia Electricity Company.
