The Old Stone House

At what is known as the Eight Mile, where the Young-Temora Road meets the Tubbul Road, stands an old stone house.This was Conn’s Hotel in times gone by, and it is believed that Cobb & Co ‘s coaches stopped here on their way to the Bland. It went by the name of the Imperial Hotel at some stage of its life.The old stone stables have long gone, so have the kitchen, pantry and laundry at the back of the building.Conn sold the property, which was known as Elton Hills, in 1906.
