Description of Hayton Park buildings
Model dairy
The model dairy is an outbuilding of gable roof form, with timber frame and corrugated galvanized cladding. There are timber ledged and braced doors, and small timber framed windows. A stock ramp is attached to one side. The structure of the building is of standard timber frame construction with rafters, purlins and collar ties. The interior contains all of the timber cow bails, mangers, pens, kicking boards and other features. These are all of solid timber fixed together with bolts. Whilst none of these features is individually rare, the interior provides a complete example of a dairy fit out.
The following description of the entire Hayton Park complex is cited from the City of Casey Heritage Study, 2004, by Context P/L:
'Hayton Park' comprises a complex of farm buildings including the homestead, garage and and two sheds.
The homestead is a double fronted Victorian Italianate weatherboard villa with a hipped corrugated iron main roof and skillion at the rear. The facade, clad with ashlar boards, has a centrally placed panelled door with etched ruby glass side lights and cobalt glass highlights. The convex verandah is supported on round timber posts and has an elaborate cast iron frieze. There is one rendered brick chimney to the front section, and smaller chimneys to the skillion sections at the rear. A small interwar era garage is at the rear of the house.
The homestead is set back some distance from the road at the end of a driveway, placed to one side of the house. There are no notable garden plantings.
There are two corrugated iron clad sheds to the rear of the house. One appears to date from the interwar/post war period, while the other may be earlier or constructed in stages over a period of time.
