Good This former residence was constructed in 1911 for William Patterson and his wife Cecilia. The couple had married in 1890 in South Australia and they relocated to Western Australia where William worked as an orchardist. Cecilia died in 1912 and in 1914 the property was noted as being owned by Archibald Sanderson and leased to tenants. William Patterson remained in the district as an orchardist. In 1924, the farm was being used as a poultry farm and in the 1930s a tennis court was built on the property. The residence was a popular venue for socialising in the inter war period. Several tenants occupied to property until it was acquired by the Shire of Kalamunda in approximately 1977. The Shire oversaw restoration and conservation works which was undertaken by volunteers from the community and the building was opened to the public in the 1980s.
