This is a relic of the earliest settlement of the Gingin 'flats' country illustrating the initiative of the founder of the well-known Dewar pioneer family of the district. The homestead was sited on Gingin Brook at an important road junction where pastoral operations might be undertaken with the provision of accommodation for travellers. The two storey residence and its association outbuildings are in urgent need of repairs but the importance of the homestead cannot be overlooked.
