History Lives in Mount Victoria

MOUNT VICTORIA TOLL HOUSE

For over 170 years this small, stone building has welcomed travellers to our town. Situated on Mt Victoria’s eastern outskirts, it is the second oldest surviving building on the Blue Mountains. It is also one of only two remaining toll houses in New South Wales. Initially called the Broughton’s Waterhole Toll Bar, it became operational on the first day of 1849.

The Toll House cottage is a modest, two-roomed, sandstone building, originally with a shingled roof. A distinguishing feature of the building is its three-sided bay entrance, comprising a door and two side windows. From the shelter of his residence the toll collector had a clear view of the road in both directions. Road tolls were collected at Mt Victoria until 1876.
