Rockbridge, like Dingup and Springdale represents a second generation homestead built in the 1890s. It is significant as a ruin which has already been partly restored. The skeleton structure has revealed the nature of the craftmanship and the methods of joinery originally used. Old timbers from the house have been saved and timbers from the old sheds have been collected by Mr Mottram and his son who have carried out careful reconstruction where necessary, using the old timbers as patterns for the new material. The old house stands on a slight rise overlooking a small stream which joins the Warren River. The original homestead was built on a riverside flat with the Warren River flowing past on the west. Nearby is the twentieth century residence.
The house originally consisted or three rooms with vertical jarrah slab walls resting on a log foundation plate with corner posts morticed into the plate. The roof skeleton also remains and a stone fireplace as at the west end and is being restored.
