History

The land on which the building stands was granted to Joseph Keys Logue, schoolmaster, in 1863. He opened a private school in the Swan Valley. Logue was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, who arrived in the colony in 1837. He probably built the house.

Building has been conserved and restored and was awarded the Shire of Swan Heritage Award in 1993. Restoration was based on research and historic photographs.
