Aileron Homestead
Permanent Declaration
Place
The original homestead consists of 8 rooms surrounded by an enclosed verandah. It retains a high degree of architectural integrity with few alterations from its original construction. The original floor plan is unchanged apart from some partioning up of the verandah area and modernisation of the bathroom. The homestead is constructed of patterned concrete blocks (rendered internally), timber framed windows and doors, a sawn-timber roof structure and galvanised iron roof sheeting.
The original Aileron Homestead is of architectural and historical significance to the NT. Constructed in 1933 by Fred Colson the homestead retains some of its original features including the masonry, majority of flooring and other timberwork, kitchen stove, verandah and windows. The scale of the building, high standard of workmanship, detailing and finishes distinguishes it from other homesteads of this era in Central Australia which were generally of a more rudimentary and less expensive construction. The building has some historical significance owing to its associations with the development of the centralian pastoral industry during the 1930s and links with the Colson family for over 60 years.
