Woven into the history of Orange, this restored historic beauty includes the original stables and a gardener's cottage. For sale by Ash Brown and Jack Aumuller of One Agency Orange.
Nestled in one of the wide, tree-lined streets which give Orange its character, ‘Mena’ is an iconic family home with a rich and colourful history.
The residence was built in 1875 for the family of businessman James Dalton, an Irish immigrant who opened a general store in the main street of town in the early years of the gold rush, supplying miners in the nearby goldfields at Ophir.
Mena comes with a colourful history. After an episode as a maternity hospital from 1929 - 1941 and a time divided into residential flats, its latest chapter is a story of detailed and meticulous restoration which has revived the home’s original charm.

Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project can be seen in historic details including 5-metre high ceilings with ornate plasterwork, 36 cm high skirting boards made from Australian cedar, all framed by the light from classic leadlight windows.
The floorplan today nods to the past with its formal dining, lounge, music, sitting rooms, and study, while embracing contemporary family living in its large eat-in kitchen.
The grounds also remain true to their origins, retaining the original stables, a gardener's cottage and garden shed, and now also including a fully equipped water bore and automated irrigation system.
