Statement of Significance
The Group Settlement houses have strong historic heritage significance as they are an important part of Denmark’s history. They allow reflection on the many difficulties group settlers had to weather to make a living. Many of these houses have been altered but this one remains the same in appearance as when it was originally built in the 1920s. This house is one of two remaining houses from Group 113.
For further information on group settlement refer Place Record Form ‘Devon and Cornwall Group Park’.
Physical Description
The house is built from weatherboard and is dark brown. The window frames are wooden and the roof, corrugated iron. It is located in a rural setting with a backdrop of large trees. The house represents a typical group settlement house built in the uniform manner of four rooms with verandahs at the front and back.
History
It was Geoff Pates’s home who was a significant member of the Road Board in the 1950s and 60s and the President/Vice President for some years.
