History

Springdale Farmhouse was built in 1883 by Jesse Giblett and his father
John of Balbarrup with the help of a local builder Ben Needs. It is one of
five homesteads built by the Gibletts in the Manjimup district. It is
thought that Perup House was built on the same design also by Ben
Needs. Springdale was home to Ivan Giblett from 1906 until he sold it in
1984. Some of the trees in the near vicinity of the old house are believed
to be original plantings from the time of Jesse Giblett. These plane trees
mark the sites of the old dairy and smithy. The house was occupied and
used as a residence until 1985. In 2005 it remained empty and was
beginning to deteriorate rapidly.
