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
