Statement of Significance

The present Shire Foreman's residence has significance as the one time home of the Nungarin Road Board Secretary.

Physical Description

A timber framed residence with weatherboard and fibro cladding, and a corrugated iron roof.

History

This dwelling is believed to have been built circa 1929, during the period that F.B.Mason was serving as Road Board Secretary. The first Road Board Secretary (R.Bagot) lived at Lot 2, Railway Avenue where the Nungarin Hotel is now situated.
The building at Lot 51 remained the residence of the Nungarin Road Board Secretary/Shire Clerk until the present residence was built in Danberrin Rd during the early nineties while Peter Varris was serving as Shire Clerk.
