Warren Lodge was originally one of three boarding houses in Pemberton for the mill workers after the establishment of the State Saw Mill No 3 in 1913. It is estimated that it was built in the 1920s. The sawmills were to supply the sleepers for the Trans-Australian Railway. The timber industry which grew up provided extensive employment and accommodation was built for the workers and their families in Pemberton in the years that followed. The 1920s was a period of growth in Pemberton. Significant buildings sprang up in the main street, Brockman St, including the Mill Workers Hall, the School, the Pemberton Hotel, and the Methodist Church,. These are still intact today, and the main street precinct has high streetscape and heritage value. Warren Lodge is one of these significant buildings. In the 1940s approximately 400 people were employed by the mill. Most of these were accommodated in the cottages provided, while single workers were housed in the single men’s quarters or in the boarding houses. In 2004 the mill employed approximately 100 people.
