Statement of Significance

The building is another example of the simple domestic architectural style of the 1870's. This house is important as it contributes to the social history of the district and demonstrates the way of life of the pioneers of this period. John Mottram who managed the Manjimup House property in the 1860's was the original owner.

Physical Description

This building is a single storied colonial slab house, with a ptiched roof and a verandah, part of which has been made into a room. The roof has been recently covered with colourbond corrugated iron and modern gutters have been attached. Items of interest include 3 windows and 3 doors opening onto the front verandah. The walls are composed of a timber frame infilled with slabs in two tiers.
