History

This building, currently known as the Shamrock Restaurant (in 2004),
has been an integral part of the history of the town since it was built
C1914. The Pemberton Mill was constructed in 1913-14, and over the
next decade the town of Pemberton (then called Big Brook) grew up
around the mill. Other significant buildings constructed in Brockman
Street during that period include the Mill Worker’s Hall, the School and
the Methodist Church.
In the 1930s a Hydro Electric Scheme was constructed just west of the
Pemberton townsite. In 1932 Pemberton became the first and only town
in Western Australia to be powered by hydro-electricity. It is said the
Shamrock Restaurant was used as the Hydro Electric Scheme Office
some time between 1932 and 1954 when Pemberton joined the SEC grid.
