One source (National Trust notes) states that Perup was built in the 1870s
by Ben Needs, who married Charlotte Muir. Needs was the coffin maker
for the district. Another source (Shire of Manjimup Municipal Heritage
Inventory) dates the place as C1885. The house is on the original site of
the hut built by the Muirs in 1855 when shepherding sheep there.
