Description
The former coaching inn stands on six hectares in the historic village of Kempton Tasmania, where its first occupant, ex-convict embezzler-turned-innkeeper William Ellis, is buried in the nearby cemetery. Built in 1842 by master stonemason, Andrew Bell for William Henry Ellis, it was originally known as the Green Ponds Hotel and served as an inn, public house and residence until the 1860's. It represented a vote of confidence in growing prosperity of the Green Ponds region. Ellis, an emancipated convict was an enterprising gentleman who started a successful coach service between Hobart & Green Ponds terminating, of course, at his own Inn. This is why the stables and coach house are almost a big as the main house itself. It is now the home of Redland's Distillery.
