The place is a remnant of an early settlement in the York district and is one of the oldest homestead ruins in the area.
The place is associated with the development of the agricultural industry in the York region and the consolidation of that industry in the early part of the 20th century.
The second homestead is a fine example of a rural residence constructed in the Federation Queen Anne style.
The original homestead is a single storey, former residence constructed in the Victorian Georgian style in a symmetrical ‘U’ shape. The walls are exposed brick, possibly of local construction. The roof is steeply pitched and has been re-covered at some stage with galvanised corrugated iron. The windows and doors have been removed and some of the roof sheeting has fallen. The second homestead is a single storey residence constructed in the Federation Queen Anne style. The walls are tuckpointed red brick with a 30cm rendered band encircling the house approximately 1m up the wall. The windows are double-hung sash windows. The residence has recently been re-roofed with GCI. 3 tall chimneys have terracotta pots, and the gables have a half-timbered effect. The verandah, which encloses the house on all sides, appears to have recently been replaced.
As river frontages were taken up along the Swan River, and the population of the colony continued to increase, the reality of food shortages in the colony induced Governor Stirling to commission 21-year-old Ensign Dale to explore east of the Darling Range in search of arable land. Following Dale’s expeditions in the 1830s, and a few other expeditions which confirmed Dale’s reports, land was opened in the Avon District. Although James Henty was the first to apply for a land grant in this area, his original selection was refused as it included 2 square miles at the foot of Mt Bakewell, which Stirling reserved as a town site in November 1830. It was the following September before the settler arrived in York. Within a month almost a quarter of a million acres had been taken up in the York district although much of this land was claimed by those who had land entitlements but no real intention of immediate settlement. By July 1832, there were 18 settlers and four soldiers based in York, and within 2 years half of the colony’s sheep were grazing in the district. By 1836 the district had a population of 65, including members of many well-known pioneer families in Western Australia. The period of settlement between 1832 and 1839 saw land being allocated in extensive grants. The original occupiers were to be joined later by other settlers who were also responsible for substantial growth in the York district. The 45ha property at Tipperary was originally purchased by an Irish doctor for his 3 sons in 1837. The construction of the second homestead occurred at a time when the York area was prospering from the consolidation of the farming industry due to the construction of the railway and the boom resulting from the goldrushes. In 1980 Peter Briggs purchased the property. He sold it to John & Karen Hay who were responsible for the restoration work on the York Hotel. The property was sold again in 1999.

Quellington School House (fmr) is of considerable historical significance in association with Quellington School. It demonstrates close associations with the Gentle family and the early provision of schools and a way of life for school teachers in the country that is no longer practiced.
The single storey masonry building has a hipped roof with a separate hipped roof to the perimeter veranda. There is a small gable central on the veranda roof of the symmetrical frontage that has a set of concrete stairs to the veranda.

Quellington School is of considerable historical, social and aesthetic importance as one of the very few remaining schools representing the educational development in the York area. It demonstrates close associations with Samuel Gentle and family and the early provision of schools. It is a fine example of an isolated rural school in Federation bungalow architectural style. The School closed in 1944 with the centralisation policy and students were transported to York. It was a way of life, of education that is no longer practiced and makes a significant contribution to the historic aesthetic of the York district countryside.
The single storey building is detailed in colonial bond face brickwork on a rendered plinth. The corrugated iron roof is hipped with gablets, and the veranda has a low skillion extension of the main roof. The veranda entry is detailed with an arched valance of vertical spaced timbers. The face brick chimney is deeply corbelled.
The first Queliington School was built by Mr Samuel Gentle for his 5 children. Others joined the “Gentle School” at a payment towards the teacher’s salary. In 1884 Provisional School status was achieved with 18 students, although it closed in 1885. It opened again in 1889. In 1895, a new school was constructed on Mr Gentle’s land, by Thorn, Bower & Stewart building contractors. In 1920 the school was closed due to influenza epidemic causing low attendance. At that time, the issue of country schools was raised in parliament and Quellington parents were given 3 options: take their children to York School, employ a teacher at their own cost or join correspondence classes. The school remained opened with the teacher sharing Quellington and Malebelling schools. Although that was short term and the school closed in May 1920. In September 1930, the school re-opened. By 1943 there were only 6 children enrolled and it closed in 1944, and the furniture and children transported to York. The school bus driver lived in the school building until 1952, and members of the Gentle family lived there for a short time, and in 1954 Mark Gentle purchased the building from the Education Department, on the land that was already owned by the family. The school building functions as a Bed and Breakfast accommodation facility.

Talbot Hall and the site of the Talbot Brook School is are historically and socially significant as the centre of the local community for meetings, socialising and social and education activities of the local community since 1911. The sense of place for generations of the community and the continued focus of Talbot Hall represents the quintessential country spirit.
The hall is an expansive corrugated iron structure with a low-pitched gable roof. There is a semidetached gable shed at right angles at the rear, with a skillion enclosure along the rear of the overall structure.
In 1906 PJ McDougall requested a school at Talbot Brook. By 1908 there was no school mostly due to the Reverend Dunn who thought that Qualen School was appropriate. The Talbot Brook Progress Association took up the issue. Due to fluctuating numbers of children, the unlined corrugated iron clad school provided by the Progress Association was not opened until 1911. The school was under constant threat of closure, which happened twice in 1921, once due to inadequate teacher accommodation (a small lean-to at the end of the school). An extension was built. Periods of closure happened again in 1925 and 1928. In 1936 a new building was requested. In 1944 the school was closed due to low attendance and students transferred to York. At a meeting of the Talbot Hall committee in March 1954 it was to investigate and get a quote for a steel framed hall building. The secretary of the committee was T Duperouzel. Their specifications included: steel framed fabrication measuring 60 feet x 30 feet x 11’6” high, double doors, and 3 steel framed windows each side with louvres. The hall was opened in 1954.

St Paul’s Church represents a place of worship for a small country community, demonstrating a way of life that no longer practiced and the development of the place into an event venue that together with the church worship and events, engenders a sense of place.
The church is located in the midst of a group of various buildings that comprise a residence, former art gallery, residence in the church building, and the gardens are landscaped for events.

The Avon Valley developed in the 1830s as a pastoral region, with the town of York, on the Avon River, established in 1835. A lack of good roads was a major problem for the transport of produce. In 1881, following the opening of the Eastern Railway from Fremantle to Guildford, the railway was extended to Chidlow and onto Northam and York via Spencers Brook. In 1885, part of Avon Locations X and Y on the south side of South Street and owned by John Henry Monger, were subdivided. Location Y was traversed by the railway line, then under construction, and the York station was located in the new subdivision. Edward Keane was the contractor for the railway line. In 1960 the Government contracted with BHP Co Ltd for an iron and steel works in Kwinana contingent on a standard railway between Kalgoorlie and Kwinana via Cannington, transporting iron ore from Koolyanobbing, culminating in the transcontinental standard gauge railway. The rail followed a route through Northam and Toodyay, carrying all the state’s produce, and York subsequently resorted to local traffic on the original track. York Railway Station was rendered almost redundant. York Railway Station officially closed to traffic on18 April 1987.
