The Shire of Jerramungup Municipal Inventory states:
‘The old stone house with nearby store and barn was built by the Hassells (1859-61) and used by the family until the erection of the new house in 1906. No longer habitable but capable of being preserved without further deterioration these buildings are mainly of historical interest. Jerramungup, as the Hassells used to call the property – was taken up by John Hassell in 1849 and was one of the best known stations in the south of Western Australia. Mentioned in the journals of a number of explorers and remained in the ownership of the Hassell family for over 100 years, until bought for War Service land settlement in 1951.’
