supporter of the local school. Antill died in 1852, and was buried in the family vault on a hill north of and overlooking the town of Picton. The Brookside Restaurant (former Razorback Inn), is now at 1580 Hume Highway Deviation and separately LEP-listed. Built on four acres sold by Antill to Oliver Whiting, ex-convict and servant of the Antill family. It appears that the inn was completed in 1850 and a licence issued for that date. Continued to operate until Whitings moved to an inn at Picton when the railway opened. A Mr. Turner who later lived in the building found two English pennies dated 1850 under the foundations of the place when renovating it. Later used as a guest-house and residence named Brookside, also as a restaurant. It is now used in association with the Woolshed complex for functions. Architect and engineer William Weaver (1828–68) designed (the current house) Jarvisfield for Antill. It was built in 1863. Plans for the house (and of Burrundulla, Mudgee for the Cox family) still exist, and are clear examples of Weaver's capability as an architect and of his apparently consistent preference for a traditional colonial style. Burrundulla, with its wide sides and surrounding verandah, illustrates the versatility of conservative Georgian colonial design in Weaver's hands, whereas Jarvisfield recalls the stronger lines of (Weaver's) Villa Maria (1857) at Gladesville. The features of the back of both buildings are almost identical, with arched landing windows set with coloured glass, elongated sides and courtyard. Both of these buildings stood below (a few hundred metres to the east of) the present brick/plaster mansion. Part of the second house still stood in 1937. Bricks for the house were made on the property. A new (third) house was made in 1864/5 by John Macquarie Antill, who founded the Jarvisfield Ayrshire Stud in 1875. He was a prominent breeder and agriculturist. The Antill family At least three generations of Antills lived at Jarvisfield until the 1930s: Henry Colden Antill (1779–1852), John Macquarie Antill Senior (1822–1900) and John Macquarie Antill Junior (1866–1937). Henry Colden was born in New York of British stock, his great grandfather Edward having migrated from England to America in 1680. His father John had fought in the war of American Independence. The family migrated first to Canada; Henry was in the British army in India; he migrated to Sydney on 1 January 1810, married Eliza Wills in
