Statement of Significance

Related to the settlement of the Swan Valley and extension of viticulture in the early years of the 20th century.

Physical Description

Timber framed farm house clad in weatherboard; corrugated iron hipped roof with air vents at each end of the ridge; verandahs on two sides. Weatherboard on the front aspect are recessed at the joints. Main door and two French doors at the front are original. The weatherboards have never been painted except in one small section. Various unsympathetic additions have been made e.g. verandah posts replaced by tubular steel, verandah floor by concrete, brick balustrade built at verandah edge etc. but restoration would not be difficult.
