Mamre is an early Georgian homestead, built in the 1820's on land owned by the Reverend Samuel Marsden. It was believed to have been a wool store before it was converted to a homestead. It remained in the Marsden family until 1839. After Marsden's death it was sold to Richard Rouse (of Rouse Hill) who gave Mamre to his daughter, Elizabeth who married Robert Fitzgerald. In 1984 the house was restored.
