Dhurringile Homestead, near Murchison, was built by James Irving (of the Winter-Irving family) in 1876-77. After the great Goulburn flood of 1870 had washed away his original wooden homestead, Irving selected a site away from the river for the construction of a huge, 68-room, towered brick mansion which he named Dhurringile. The mansion was designed by Lloyd Tayler and Wyatt, one of Melbourne's most prominent architectural firms. It is now part of a minimum security prison.
