Martindale Hall, built in 1879, is a Georgian style mansion designed by Ebenezer Gregg of London for Edmund Bowman who lived the princely life there until 1891. Built largely in Manoora freestone. The ornately moulded and carved stonework is a tribute to the tradesmen of the day who were brought from England especially for this purpose. The Italian Renaissance interior is highlighted in the stately main hall and vestibule, with a domed glass roof, parquetry floor and the marvellous T-shaped staircase rising to the overhanging gallery. For many years it was owned by the Mortlock family.
The building was used as a girls boarding house for the filming of Picnic at Hanging Rock.
