Statement of Significance

The building is important for its connection with the first European settlement of the area and for its association with pioneering families. The building is a fine example of the style, construction methods and use of building materials in this period.

Physical Description

The stone dwelling faces east and is well maintained with gardens surrounding the
building. A wide verandah extends on most sides.

History

G.T. (Fred) Mader was the eldest of three brothers who came from Burra in South
Australia. They selected and developed their own farms after working in the district for sometime. Fred married one of the Terlich girls and built a house on the north side of Robinson Road. His farm, Jam Gully, actually encompassed land on either side of the road. Fred and his wife raised 14 children and eventually retired to Gosnells leaving the farm to his sons who later sold it to WW Young. Fred's brother, Bill eventually settled on a block on the Orchard Road where he built a mud batt house. Bill married his cousin Lavinia Mader who had lived in Woodanilling with her father Jack Mader. Bill and his family later moved to north of Robinson Road, about a mile west of Fred's home. This property is still farmed by the Maders.
