Cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: 1. Example of a substantial agricultural settlement in the relatively remote pastoral area east of York in the 1860s. 2. The building is the oldest established property in the Greenhills area. The building contains evidence of building techniques from the early period of settlement. 3. Forms a significant cultural environment in a rural agricultural setting. 4. A social centre of the Greenhills district from circa 1865 to c.1920 as the store, post office, venue for Anglican Church services (pre 1882) and social events in the barn and tennis. 5. Significant impact on the wheatbelt vista. 6. Significant associations with the Penny family who established, developed and sustained over five generations from 1860s to now.
