Mooramong
The Mooramong Homestead, built in the early 1870s, was extensively altered in 1937 to conform to contemporary American tastes. It reflects the elegant lifestyle of D.J.S. (Scobie) Mackinnon and his wife, the Hollywood silent screen star Clare Adams, and remains furnished as lived in by the Mackinnons.
