Description‘Glengowrie’ was probably built by George Laurence Fuller in the late 19th century as a tenant farm for his ‘Fuller Estate’. George Bigg leased 157 acres of the Fuller Estate from G. L. Fuller from 1876-1885, and he was an Alderman on the Shellharbour Municipal Council 1876- 1877.

Edward Bigg then leased 162 acres 1rd 7pchs from G.L. Fuller between c1911 to 1919. During this time, the property changed ownership from G.L. Fuller to his son C.D. Fuller due to his father’s death. Edward Bigg was Mayor of Shellharbour Municipality 1911-1913, and an Alderman 1899-1919, as well as Captain of the Albion Park Rifle Club.

During the early 1920’s the property was leased and farmed by John Thomas Ward.
