Statement of Significance
A substantial building of architectural significance which demonstrates an indigenous approach to a building of former administrative importance, and linked to the historic Mundaring to Coolgardie Pipeline.
Physical Description
A large single storey building of domestic character with coursed rubble sandstone walls with brick quoins, stuccoed parapets and a entrance portico with arched openings and a stucco pediment with the words 'Mines Water Supply Office 1897' in raised letters. The roof is of corrugated iron and wide verandahs surround most of the building. The original timber post fence remain as well as several large gum trees.
History
