The Weatherboard Inn archaeological site is a heritage-listed former grazing ground, military post, staging inn and road building depot and now public park located at 1-15 Matcham Avenue, Wentworth Falls, City of Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1814 to 1827. It is also known as Weatherboard Inn Archaeological Site. The property is owned by the Blue Mountains City Council. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History First settlement in the area was initiated by William Cox during his road construction programme over the Blue Mountains to the Western Plains. In the immediate vicinity to the Inn site, in 1814, William Cox's second depot had been established on this site - the original weatherboard hut, built by convicts Cox had built the road over the Blue Mountains. Cox chose a site for this hut close to a stream "of excellent water". The depot was built between 1/10/1814-8/10/1814. 'The situation is very pleasant, being a ridge high enough in the front (which is due east) to overlook the standing timber altogether, and at the back there is a considerable quantity of ground without a tree, and a rivulet of fine spring water running through it. On this ground there is the grass tree and other coarse food, which the bullocks eat and fill themselves pretty well.' 'The building is x with sides, the whole weatherboarded; gable ended weatherboards and with a door on the east end (it)cost me eight men, ten days'. This would appear to have been the first colonial building in what later became Wentworth Falls. This hut was for some time a military post with a small detachment of nine soldiers and later six mounted police were stationed there. Between 1814 and 1822 it was used as a dining room by travellers, and the site was used as a camping ground. Between the mid-1810s and 1855 the area (now Pitt Park) was used for camping and stock feeding. The area (from the present Coronation Park to Pitt Park) was used as a military camp/depot/post/lockup and stockade/site of military and police activities. The hut evolved into a staging post for long westward journeys - Governor Macquarie used it on his journey to Bathurst in April–May 1815. It became known as a place where travelling stock could find fodder and its name of "the weatherboard hut" was
