John Lanyon, after who the homestead is named acquired the property in 1835. The house as it stands today was built by Andrew Cunningham in 1859. There are also some retainer's cottages on the site, namely, 'Wilson's' Cottage and 'Dutton's' Cottage which graphically show an employees lot in the late 19th Century. This is one of Canberra's most popular tourist destinations and the rooms of the main house have been meticulously decorated in the style of the era.
