History

The house was built in 1897 for Daniel Collings, a tea merchant, and his family. The architect was Claude W. Chambers.[2]

In 1910, the house was bought by William Ross Munro, a pastoralist, who named the property Ross Roy being a combination of his middle name Ross and name of his eldest son Roy.[2]
