The Toll House was built in 1867 when the railway was extended from Picton to Mittagong. The railway line crossed the road near this point. Besides being the gatekeeper for the railway the gatekeeper also held the position of toll collector. Travellers on the road had to pay a toll up until the 1870s.

Was built by a contractor named Ambrose Crawshaw and work commenced in 1862. The viaduct has five 12.2 metre arches and is 84.1 metres long. Its highest point is 23.8 metres above the creek bed.

New storage facility
Ninety five percent of the Powerhouse Museum's collection is maintained in storage at any one time. Sixty percent of this was due to be moved in late 2004 to a new three hectare site in the northwestern Sydney suburb of Castle Hill. Built at a cost of AUD $12 million, this facility consists of seven huge sheds, including one the size of an aircraft hangar, within which are to be housed such recently-rediscovered artefacts as a section of the mast of HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, and the spare wheel from Bluebird, the car Donald Campbell drove to break the world land speed record on Lake Eyre in the 1960s. The Powerhouse at Castle Hill was open to the general public in 2006.
