1951Statement of Significance
Darradup House is significant as an example of a home constructed during the early years of settlement of the Blackwood region.
Physical Description
The site contains a number of timber framed structures including Darradup House an outhouse, a small cottage, shed, log structure, and several more recently constructed sheds. Darradup House is a timber framed and iron structure with a general 'T' shape floor plan with a gabled roof including prominent entrance, and surrounding skillion formed verandah. Although most external features, including weatherboard dado, and 'nosed' timber detailing to door and window frames, is consistent, the roof and plan form suggest the building has been extensively modified. The existing cottage is constructed in two sections. The front section consists of three rooms and is constructed of wattle and daub which has been cement rendered on theoutside. There are twelve pane sash windows on the front elevation. The original shingle roof has been replaced by corrugated iron. Asbestos wall linings have beenadded later. The rear section of the cottage was constructed later and is of timber framed construction with some pressed metal wall and ceiling linings.
History
There is some conflicting information regarding the history of Daradup House. According to information collected by the South West Heritage Taskforce in 1990, the original Darradup House constructed in 1868 by Stephen Longbottom was demolished following storm damage in 1951 and the remaining structure dates from circa 1900. However following site investigation, the style of the building and building methods and materials used indicate that at least part of the remaining structure was constructed prior to 1900. The original pastoral lease for the property dated 12/12/1894 indicates that George Longbottom held the property from Jan. 1888 to Dec. 1907. The existing cottage may have been constructed during this period.
