One of the oldest homesteads in Canberra, Duntroon House was built in 1833 by landowner Robert Campbell. It was originally a sheep station and is a picture-book example of early Australian architecture. The original house was single storey and built in the traditional colonial style. In 1862 an extension, including a second storey, was added. The house now serves as the Officer's Mess at the Royal Military College. Self-guided tours of Duntroon House are available and visitors are welcome to wander through the gardens.
