Why is this place significant?
Historic Significance
Historical Significance or Value The Annedale property was one of the earliest and largest Wairarapa sheep stations. Its association with the Beetham Brothers of Brancepeth and with T.C. Williams illustrate the interlocking relationships of the major landowners and farmers of the area in the later 19th century.
Physical Significance
ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY: The Annedale woolshed is a particularly good example of the woolsheds of the Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay. The provision of prominent ventilators on the roof ridges is an obvious response to the high summer temperatures experienced in the area. The wool room with its mezzanine storage floor and loading-out chute is of considerable interest. LANDSCAPE VALUE: The woolshed surrounded by the pens and paddocks necessary for the purpose of shearing and wool storage, is isolated from other station buildings.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: A large, T-shaped woolshed of a timber vernacular style specific to the Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay. The principal section of the shed is two storeys high. The wings are of single storey, but maintain the same roof pitch. The building has nine ventilators set at regular intervals along the three roof ridges. The building has gabled roofs with windows, head shaped to the roof-line at the gable ends. Shearing ports and windows are spaced regularly, at two levels. The wool room has a mezzanine floor for wool storage. The bales are raised to the floor through a trapdoor by an electric winch and are loaded out through a double folding door which is lowered to form the loading chute. MODIFICATIONS: No structural modifications. Shed has been wired for electricity.
