Physical Description

History

By the time the railway from Narrogin came through to Kulin, it
was 1915, and development was minimal due to World War One. After the war, progress was evident,
and the boarding house was established to provide accomodation for workers in the district. It was
the first boarding house in Kulin. The building was relocated from the goldfields by Jack Bullock, the
husband of the proprietor of the boarding house. The site is opposite the railway station area, and in
the same main street block as the hotel, placing it in a prime position for customers. During the
1930s Mr and Mrs Bullock ran the Kulin Hotel for a period of time.
