History
National Trust of Australia states:
‘Attractively situated close to the Warren River, with some of the old fruit trees from the orchard still remaining, the house was built in two sections, the first when E.R Brockman took up the land in the early 1860’s and the second about 1875, an extension to cope with his growing family. He married Capel Bussell of Cattle Chosen in 1861 and six of their nine children were born before 1875. Brockman was a leading citizen of the district, the first Chairman of the Lower Blackwood Road Board, and Warren House was an important stopping place on the road via Nannup linking the district to Busselton. The house is a good example of early homes in the area built by local workmen.’
