Statement of Significance

The site has historic value for its associations with pensioner guard David Gailey and the Oddfellows. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape of the town of Toodyay.

Physical Description

A single storey brick and iron dwelling with hipped roof and verandah. There is a densely planted front garden which made assessment difficult.

History

Lot S7 was allotted to David Gailey on 12 January 1861. The Manchester Unity Order of Oddfellows bought this portion of Gailey's pensioner lot with James Martin, the blacksmith, having the remaining portion. The railways resumed much of the land for the railway from Toodyay to Bolgart c.1908.
