Forty-roomed mansion

Two myths under History: 1. VH was not built as a forty-roomed mansion 2. It was demolished in 1929 not 1926.

Both are incorrect statement from ADoB:

E. W. Dunlop. "Lawson, William (1774 - 1850)". Australian Dictionary of Biography, online edition. Australian National University, has "In 1912 it was used by the army and many of the larger rooms subdivided, giving rise to a myth that it had been a "forty-roomed mansion" in Lawson's time."  (Retrieved 29 August 2006.) But Dunlop also states "The house was demolished in 1926."

The intention of demolishing it was reported in SMH in 1926 but it didn't happen until 1929. "The building was razed in 1929." Australian Government, Site of Veteran Hall http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl?mode=place_detail;place_id=2989. I will edit the article shortly.
