Its significance lies in its being one of the four original homesteads which, with the old brick school, constituted the Upper Warren settlement which was established in the late seventies and early eighties - over one hundred years ago. The house was built by Arthur Lewin Clarke who came from Harvey, and married Emma Giblett of Balbarrup in 1875. He engaged a ticket- of -leave builder to make bricks and to construct a house on Nelson Location 74 (40 acres) which was originally taken up by John Mottram of Manjimup. Along with the other three settlers, Blechynden, Mottram and Wheatley, Clarke commenced farming on a small clearing surrounded by the bush where they pastured their cattle. The homestead with its farm buildings looks down on small paddocks along a creek. There is forest on the higher land, creating a landscape which contrasts with wider clearing and park-like appearance of the settlements furtherup the Warren River to the east and north.
Three rooms under a hipped roof, verandah on front (eat), lean-to rooms on the west (entrance); no verandahs north or south. Walls of brick, rendered and washed in white. Barn and machinery shed near the house and other small buildings across a hollow (south)
