Statement of significance:

Elizabeth Farm is associated with major figures who were prominent in the 19th century development of the colony, including John and Elizabeth Macarthur, and the Swann family in the 20th century. There is a large surviving collection of documentary evidence connected to the house, which contains part of the oldest surviving European construction in Australia. The garden contains some of the earliest European plantings in Australia. It is an example of early colonial architecture and early agricultural experiments (Bravery 1997:13-14, 24).

The property forms the core of a major historic farm estate which was highly influential in the development of the wool industry in Australia, the introduction and acclimatisation of plants and economic crops such as olives and vines. By its size, location and history of subdivision the property was influential on the development of the town of Parramatta.

The property is also significant in the history of conservation in NSW, being the first to be preserved by direct acquisition by the State Government, and the second property to have a permanent conservation order placed over it under the Heritage Act 1977. (Read, S., pers. comm. 2003)

History

Historical notes: Elizabeth and John Macarthur arrived in 1790 with the Second Fleet. They brought with them contemporary ideas which formed the basis of their house and garden. In 1793 Governor Grose granted Macarthur 100 acres near Parramatta on the west side of 'Tipperary Farm'. This area would increase to 925 acres through grants and purchases by 1818 and proved to be almost 1100 acres when surveyed in 1881.

Elizabeth Farm was soon under cultivation: the house was surrounded by a vineyard, orchard and a three acre garden of 'most excellent vegetables' (Hughes, Joy, 2002, 383-4). Elizabeth Macarthur wrote, in December 1793:
'Our gardens, with Fruit and Vegetables are extensive and produce abundantly. It is now Spring and the Eye is delighted with a most beautiful variegated Landscape. Almonds, Apricots, Pear and Apple trees are in full bloom. The native shrubs are also in flower & the whole Country gives a grateful perfume' (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

The building of Elizabeth Farm house commenced in 1793. It was a brick single storey building with four rooms, a hall, closets, and cellar with an adjoining kitchen, servants apartments and other necessary offices. It remained the Macarthur family residence and Elizabeth's home until her death in 1850. The Macarthurs occupied and continually extended the house grant as their family increased to nine children and their financial position grew. Around 1805 a bedroom behind the drawing room and verandahs was added. The third kitchen was built in 1820 (Hughes, 2002).

From 1794 Macarthur became interested in raising sheep and began to selectively crossbreed his flock at Elizabeth Farm. The house was the scene of political and social activity including visits from many governors and their wives. Elizabeth managed the farm and their other properties during the years John was in England (Hughes, 2002).

Exiled from the colony between 1807 and 1817 as the 'leading promoter and instigator' of the deposing of Governor Bligh, John Macarthur ... toured France and Switzerland on foot in 1815 and 1816, inspecting vineyards and investigating methods of agriculture. Permitted to return to NSW in 1817, he built a greenhouse on Lord Eldon's deck to accommodate an extensive collection of plants comprising grape vines, fruit trees and other plants, many new to the colony including the 'cork tree' (Quercus suber)(still growing at Hambledon cottage nearby) and the China rose (Rosa chinensis)( (Hughes, 2002)).

Elizabeth Macarthur was left with the responsibilty of their younger children, the family properties, the breeding of the valuable Merino flock at Camden, and the export of its wool clip, contributing immeasurably to the wool industry in this critical phase. Her letters, written with clarity and insight on many aspects of the colony, reflect her admiration of native flora and the pleasure she derived from Elizabeth Farm's garden)(Hughes, 2002).

The shrubbery, which artist Conrad Martens painted from the eastern verandah, included the scented 'Parson's pink China' or 'Old Blush' rose that John brought from his first period of exile. Also among his botanical treasures were olive trees, some to be given as peace offerings to his detractors and to be planted in the government gardens, as well as at Elizabeth Farm, along with vine cuttings, camellias, paeonies and rhododendrons. In tge flower beds were cannas, Dianthus, geraniums, larkspurs, lilies and bulbs from South Africa, with the white flowering Oxalus covering the ground (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

On his return from his second exile in 1817 (on the Lord Eldon, with glasshouse), John had instructed Elizabeth to prepare 5 ha at Parramatta to receive his plants and seeds. En route he had added to his collection in Rio de Janeiro. In the first few decades of the colony, seeds and plants including the jacaranda and Citrus trees, coffee and indigo, were also collected from the Canary and Cape Verde islands. As well, trading ships from India, Ceylon, China, Africa and America brought other exotic species which may gave found their way into the Macarturs' garden (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

John Macarthur brought olive trees (Olea europaea cv.) to Sydney in 1805 and again in 1817. Although George Suttor had introduced olives to Australia earlier, in 1800 among a collection of plants from Sir Joseph Banks, these appear not to have survived. Macarthur's olives did. John, in exile in London over his involvement with the overthrow of Governor William Bligh, sensed the mood of the British administration - who were encouraged by Suttor's reports that New South Wales had potential for horticulture due to the local climate. Macarthur set off in 1815 on a tour of France and Switzerland to study 'the whole practice of the culture of the vine and the olive, and the making of the wine and the oil.' By May 1816 he was back in London with a collection of vines and olives for shipment to Australia. He was certain that these would impress Lord Bathurst, secretary of state for the colonies, and assist his return to Australia, but it took a year to get the go-ahead. He arrived in September 1817 with a cargo of 'useful plants' including two olives from Provence.

Five years later Macarthur made an equally favourable impression on Commisioner J.T.Bigge who was in NSW to investigate all aspects of colonial administration, including the development of agriculture and trade. Bigge observed that Macarthur's olive trees had assimilated well to the climate and that olive oil from NSW could prove a successful export product. The settlement's British cultural background and lack of experience growing olives (commercially) and competition from the wool production industry kept olive production in the shade. Two olive trees remain at Elizabeth Farm on the front (northern) lawn. It is unclear whether these date from 1805 or 1817 introductions. However they appear to be the earliest olive trees surviving in Australia and thus, despite Suttor's introduction in 1800, Macarthur could be credited with introducing or at least successfully establishing olives in Australia, leading (at least in the late 20th century) to a growing agricultural industry (Crockett & Martin, 2009, abridged by Stuart Read, 18/8/09).

A carriage loop was later added to Elizabeth Farm so Elizabeth and daughters could drive through the pleasure gardens in the 'britska' that John had commissioned, emblazoned with his coat of arms and sent to Sydney, during his second period of exile (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

Their home and garden making was influenced by all the latest books from the United Kingdom, including the romantic novelists and poets; they were up to date with developments in taste and culture through subscriptions to journals like 'The Edinburgh Review' and 'The Quarterly Review'. Elizabeth read Jefferson's account of his own grand garden 'Monticello' in Virginia and later, John Claudius Loudon, the most influential and fashionable garden writer of the 19th century, whose huge volumes were readily available in the bookshops of Sydney (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

In the 1820s Macarthur added a separate two storey section to the rear, and built stables. The house additions used open planning with french doors leading to the verandahs and gardens. A few years later the verandahs may have been remodelled. A Doric columned north verandah in contrast to the treillage of the eastern verandah was added during 1826. Further extensions were made during 1826 and 1827, designed by Henry Cooper. Refacing of the servants quarters, possibly by John Verge, took place sometime around 1833. In this year John Macarthur moved to their property at Camden and died there in 1834.

Thomas Mitchell, a visitor in 1831, was impressed by the 'many interesting trees and plants which that most ingenious gentleman is endeavouring to propogate in the colony':
'I saw the first olive planted in Australia; the cork-tree in luxuriance; the caper, growing among the rocks; the English oak; the horse chestnut; broom; magnificent mulberry trees of 35 years' growth, umbrageous and green; (a) great variety of roses in beds; also climbing roses, I saw Greek pirates at work training the vines to trellices (sic) which had just been erected according to tge method of their country. The state of the orange trees was remarkable...' (Hughes, 2002).

Edward Macarthur, sent to England to be educated and serving with the British army abroad, made relatively brief visits to Elizabeth Farm. To his family the avenues of cypresses he planted in 1806-08 were a constant fond reminder of one such visit. On another in 1824 he started the garden at the (now Hambledon) cottage, his residence on the estate. Edward inherited Elizabeth Farm estate. Elizabeth continued to farm it after John died in 1832 until her death in 1850 (Hughes, 2002).

In his last twelve years John Macarthur consulted pattern books and various architects and builders such as Henry Cooper and James Smith to prepare building plans (Bravery, 1997).

The banana was among plants brought from Rio de Janeiro on the First Fleet in 1788 and has always been a valued crop. In colonial gardens they were both highly decorative and provided a treat for the table. A c1855 sketch of Elizabeth Farm shows a stand of banana's at the house's west end, where they have been replanted as part of the recreated garden (Hill, in SLM, 2016).

When John Macarthur died in 1834, his large estate was divided between his surviving sons. The eldest, Edward (1789-1872) received the lion's share, including Elizabeth Farm. John's wife (widow) Elizabeth, retained a life interest in that house, and would live there for the rest of her days. Edward first left Sydney in 1799, aged nine, for an education in London. His adult career began in England and progressed rapidly. Along with promoting both his family's and wider colonial interests in London, he fought in the Peninsular War (1807-14), served as secretary in the Lord-Chamberlain's Office, and was recommended by the Duke of Wellington for a military post in Ireland. Following two previous return visits to Sydney, in 1851 he returned again, now as Deputy Adjutant-General - the second-in-command of NSW's armed forces. That year saw dramatic changes: first as Victoria was created a separate colony, and then as the gold rush began in both colonies. Elizabeth had died the year befoer. Edward didn't return to live at Elizabeth Farm. His sister Emmeline and her husband, Henry Watson Parker, who had been living at the Parramatta estate for several years to look after the elderly Elizabeth, were still resident. After their departure, William Henry Allport was appointed Edward's agent for the estate and moved in with his family, ending the unbroken Macarthur occupancy of Elizabeth Farm since 1793 (Hill, 2020, 30.

In the south, tensions between miners and the colonial government over the costs of a mining licence were escalating on the Ballarat gold diggings, and the adjutant's headquarters relocated from Sydney to Melbourne in August 1854. In December, as events reached their climax, Edward travelled to Ballarat, arriving two days after government troops had overthrown the mutinying miners at the Eureka Stockade, and finding the situation calm. In 1855 his superior officer was delcared medically unfit, and Edward was appointed his successor. He was now in charge of the colonial military in both Australia and New Zealand. The accompanying seat on Victoria's Legislative Council was second only to the new Governer, Charles Hotham. In December 1855, Hotham died. Edward - the eldest son of a man who had overthrown a governor in a coup in which Edward himself had taken part, the 'Rum Rebellion' of 1808 - now became Victoria's Administrator, its Governor in all but name (Hill, 2020, 30).

Though Edward was attached to Elizabeth Farm, it was clearly not large enough for someone of his prominent role and so, as his father had before him, he looked to remodel the house. He employed the fashionable architect J.F. Hilly (1810-83) who had arrived from Warwickshire in 1839 and was active in Sydney during the boom years of the 1840s to the 1860s. Hilly's better-known surviving work includes Bishopscourt (1846 (formerly Percyville and Greenoaks), Darling Point; Greycliffe (1851, Vaucluse); Bomera (1856, Potts Point); and Redleaf (1863, Double Bay); as well as churches St. Patrick's at Church Hill (1844) and St. Thomas' at Enfield (1848). For Richard Rouse Jr. he built Guntawang (1869, Gulgong in the Central West). Of his commercial work, the neoclassical facade of the Commercial Banking Company (1854, Sydney) was saved when it was moved from Martin Place to the University of Sydney and rebuilt in 1925-28 (Hill, 2020, 30-31).

Hilly provided two designs for Elizabeth Farm, which would have adapted the hosue almost beyond recognition...The remodelling, however was never to be. In January 1860, Edward retired and returned to Sydney. He returned to England and was both knighted, and then married, in 1862. At his direction, in 1865 the house did undergo repairs and was leased out (Hill, 2020, 33).

In 1872 Edward Macarthur died leaving Elizabeth Farm to his niece Elizabeth Onslow, the daughter of his brother James, but allowing his wife Sarah a lifetime interest in it.

The Macarthur family sold Elizabeth Farm Estate in 1881. From 1852 Elizabeth Farm was occupied by various tenants and agents, including William Billyard, Crown Solicitor of NSW from 1875 until 1883.

The new owner, Septimus Alfred Stephen, subdivided the land and put the house block up for auction. There were further subdivisions in 1884. The house was leased variously as a boarding house and glue factory.

It was purchased as a house and six acres by William and Elizabeth Swann and family in 1904 for the land value only. The house was in a state of dilapidation. They immediately proceeded to have in cleansed, disinfected and repaired. The family became an institution in Parramatta, their house based activities including music, education, a secretarial school and dental surgery.

Very little is known of the middle period (of Elizabeth Farm's evolution/ownership), from the time when William Swann bought the old home in January 1904, until the family was forced to sell in 1968. It is owing to them that Elizabeth Farm House still stands today. For most of that time, it was a women's household. William Swann died in 1909; his two surviving sons left home in 1917 to marry and set up their own homes. Elizabeth, William's widow, and their nine daughters (only one of whom married) cared for and maintained this unique, historic home long before the community at large showed any general awareness of the importance of our heritage. (The Swann family's ownership, via this book) presents an unusual segment in the history of the developing and changing role of women's place in society. The eldest of the Swann sisters was borne in 1871, the youngest in 1898. During a period in which women were considered successful only in terms of the status of their husbands or fathers, this family of women took control of their own lives, building independent careeers, serving a community which came to respect and acknowledge the part they played in it (Plimer, 1995, xiii).

There was Margaret's work with the Women's Suffrage League in the latter years of the 19th century; Isabel's achievement, in 1902, in becoming 'the first registered lady surgeon dentist in Parramatta.. there are not yet a dozen lady dentists in the colony'; Edith and Nona's success as music teachesr and concert artists, and much more (ibid, 1995, xiii-xiv).

The Swann family comprised:
William (b. 1845, d. 1909);
and Elizabeth (b. 1853, d. 1940) who owned and occupied Elizabeth Farm House ... for 65 yerars and without which (it) would have been destroyed. Their children were:

Margaret, b. 1871, d. 1963;
Rebecca Sharp, b. 1873, d. 1959;
Priscilla, b. 1875, d. 1955;
Mary Marina, b. 1877, d. 1957;
Elizabeth, b. 1879, d. 1961;
Isabella Frances, b. 1881, d. 1961;
Edith Rachel, b. 1883, d. 1973;
William Alfred, b. 1885, d. 1900;
John Isaac, b. 1887, d. 1963;
Ruth, b. 1890, d. 1976;
Frederic Joshua Wadham, b. 1892, d. 1980; and
Nona Filia (9th daughter), b. 1898, d. 1969 (ibid, 1995, xv).

The Swann family owned and occupied the house until 1968 when it was purchased by the Elizabeth Farm Management Trust.

A Friends of Elizabeth Farm group formed well before the formation of the Historic Houses Trust of NSW (Watts, 2014).

In 1973 the State Planning Authority assumed control of Elizabeth Farm. Between 1978 and 1983 the Public Works Department and the Heritage Council of NSW restored the buildings which were considered important as a record of the oldest surviving examples of colonial construction techniques in Australia (Bravery, 1997, 5-8, 27-28).

Architectural documentation and conservation works on the buildings were supervised by project architect Mr Ian Sansom, Government Architect's Branch. Conservation policy and landscape proposals for the garden and grounds were developed by the Landscape Section, Government Architect's Branch, in consultation with the Historic Houses Trust (HHT) and Heritage and Conservation Branch (HC annual report, 1982).

A.W.Edwards P/L was engaged to carry out restoration of lath and plaster work. A detailed property title search was carried out. Anne Bickford archaeologist was engaged to continue research, particularly in regard to the carriage way and former outbuildings. Discussions continued with the HHT regarding its likely requirements for ancillary facilities on the site. Consultation continued with Parramatta CIty Council re future management of the reserve surrounding Elizabeth Farm (HC annual report, 1982).

A draft conservation plan was prepared by the HHT in 1982. The HC SR Committee formed a sub-committee with representatives of the Heritage & Conservation Branch, HHT and co-opted members to increase involvement of the HHT in works being carried out with a view to eventual transfer of the property to the Trust for management as a house museum (HC annual report, 1982).

The site was transferred to the Historic Houses Trust of NSW in 1983 and opened to the public as a house museum in 1984 (Bravery 1997:5-8, 27-28). Since then the Friends of the Historic Houses Trust has raised funds to allow entry display refurbishment, lighting and i-pad interpretation ($38,000), soft-furnishings ($33,000) and reproduction of Elizabeth Macarthur's ivory workbox ($8000) as well as organising and supporting the successful annual Festival of the Olive event, which attracts a wide range of visitors to the property (Watts, 2014).

The garden at Elizabeth Farm today has been restored to its 1830 incarnation, relying on watercolours by colonial painters and on earlier letters from Elizabeth to friends and family in England. Gary Crockett, curator describes the restoration as 'a pastiche of artfulness and archaeology'. When the Historic Houses Trust acquired the property in 1982, he says there was no real sense of a garden. It was just a scattering of shrubs and trees - some of tgem very old - with a driveway through the middle (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

But drawing on the few original plantings that survived (2 hoop pines, the olives, kurrajongs, Bunya pines and Chinese elm are all thought to have been planted by the Macarthurs in the early years of the 19th century. A forest red gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis) survives which predates European settlement), some early paintings and photographs and some cunning detective work on the site, a garden was recreated which, although not an exact replica of the original, is at least a well-informed interpretation of it, as well as a beautiful sanctuary in the midst of modern Parramatta (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

The boundaries of the garden are now defined by African olives, allowed to sprawl along the fenceline to screen out the suburban landscape beyond (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

The driveway and carriage loop were first located with some careful archaeological work and this enabled their reinstatement. The loop's centre is planted with Indian doub grass, a relative of couch grass which is in fact of South African origin and described in Elizabeth's letters. A big stand of pampas grass has been planted in the middle, imitating a photograph from the 1870s. A series of Conrad Martens paintings of the garden and a preliminary sketch with notations of carious species planted were useful. 1860s sketches and watercolours by grand daughter Elizabeth Macarthur Onslow and friend Alice Allport made just before the family left Elizabeth Farm led to the replanting of a patch of bananas beside tge house and of a cherry laurel. Early photos from the 1870s and plant inventiries from Camden Park house (and nursery) gave further clues (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

The shrubbery, which artist Conrad Martens painted from the eastern verandah, is again home to the scented 'Parson's pink China' or 'Old Blush' rose. In the flower beds (again are) cannas, Dianthus, geraniums, lilies and bulbs from South Africa, with the white flowering Oxalus covering the ground (Kerr Forsyth, 2005).

In March 2017 the olive tree beside the carriage loop (quite likely the oldest in the country, planted in 1805 having been brought back from Europe by John Macarthur on board the Eldon), did something very unexpected - it bore fruit! A photograph taken around 1900 shows the original tree - a European olive - still growing as a single-trunked specimen prominently in front of the house. What we see today are more recent suckers, growing from the original root-stock and surrounding the first trunk's stump. There may not be many, but the younger, vigorous suckers have suddenly produced fruit; fleshy, plump black olives, scattered across the upper branches (SLM, in The Cook and the Curator, 23/3/2017).
In 2017-18 cuttings were taken off the oldest olive tree surviving in Australia, at Elizabeth Farm. These were grown on at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mt. Annan and 30 offspring resulted in 2018. This project was part of a succession-planning for senescing trees in the collection of house musea of Sydney Living Museums (Halliday, 27/4/2018).
