'An early Marlburian, Mr Justice Allan, built the home on this property in 1896 but never lived in it. The Robinson Family were the later owners and Mrs. Robinson, now aged 90, remembers the trees were quite large when she was a young girl. Two Redwoods were also on the property and the stumps can still be seen on an aerial photograph taken in the 1940's'. Elwood-Smith 1992.
