History

Cecil Mansfield Cook settled on this property before World War One,
and constructed the mud brick cottage. It is one of the few in the area representing that method of
construction. Cook was one of the members of the Railway League deputation who presented their case for
the railway to the Premier in 1911, and in 1913, he was the secretary of the Kondinin Progress Association
who wrote to the member of Parliament, asking for a townsite survey.
In the 1940s Mr & Mrs W G (Bill) Young lived in the home, after he returned from the air-force. Mrs Young was a daughter of Charles & Amy Pond.
