the year.

Baker's
Cottage
 William
and Jane Baker developed an orchard along the eastern bank of
the Lane Cove River in 1853. Their stone cottage probably dates
from about 1865. Baker's Cottage is the only dwelling in the Ku-ring-gai
municipality which has had no structural change for one hundred
and forty years. The Lane Cove National Park used it as a store
from 1938 until 1998, and it has been vacant since then. It has
been referred to as "Baker's Cottage" since the nineteen
eighties. It was restored in October 2009.
