Colonial engraving of Lanyon homestead.
First occupied by Timothy Beard whose huts were located on the Molonglo River near Queanbeyan and on the site of Lanyon homestead. The homestead was built by Andrew Cunningham from local stone in 1859. Lanyon was carrying 25,000 sheep by the time of Andrew Cunningham’s death in 1887 and the Cunningham’s had acquired five properties. Cunningham’s sons James and Andrew Jackson Cunningham operated the properties in partnership, with James at Tuggeranong and Andrew at Lanyon. In 1905 Andrew Jackson married Louisa Leman and extended and redecorated the homestead.Â
