History
In the early 1860s Edward Revely Brockman took up land on the banks
the Warren River. He married Capel Bussell in 1861 and they had nine
children.
This house was built for Brockman by convicts who are thought to have
dug the saw pit (documented earlier) in about 1865 to provide timber for
the construction of the homestead and outbuildings, which is located
approx 5km north west of the sawpit. The bricks for the building were
burnt on the site. The joinery is said to be the work of William Knapton.
A second section of the house was built in 1875 to accommodate the
growing Brockman family. The house is a good example of early homes
in the area built by local workmen.
Warren House was an important stopping place on the road via Nannup,
linking the district to Busselton.
Brockman became a leading citizen in the district, and he was the first
Chairman of the Lower Blackwood Road Board. The main street in
Pemberton was named after him.
