Statement of Significance
Boarding House (fmr) is associated with the timber industry around Dwellingup, including Bunnings and, more recently, the School of Wood.
Boarding House (fmr) is a good representative example of a forestry cottage constructed for use as a Mill Manager’s residence.
Physical Description
Timber and iron forestry worker's cottage, constructed as a Mill manager's residence. Western side guttering sagging and decking on western side verandah been removed, although it appears to be in process of repair. Ridge capping on portion of structure has been removed.
History
Boarding House (fmr) was originally located at Banksiadale, and operated as the Mill Manager's home. In 1963 the Mill Manager, Mr. Claud Huxtable, and family were in residence.
This home was relocated in Dwellingup by Bunnings in the late 1960's, and was used to accommodate single mill workers. It was then purchased by CALM (now DEC), who then used it as rental property and manager's house for the Forest Heritage Centre.
It currently (2011) houses students from the School of Wood, which is part of the Forest Heritage Centre.
