Statement of Significance

The place is a rare example of a house constructed in the first six years of the Swan River Colony. The setting of the place is enhanced by the retention of some of the original garden;

The place demonstrates aspects of the European settlement of the Swan District for agricultural purposes, and has potential to yield information regarding the way of life of colonists in the Swan River Colony; and

The place has a close association with the Haddrill family, who lived there from 1835 to 1975.

Physical Description

Earliest part is of brick and consists of three interconnected rooms, none of which were ceiled. Roof originally thatched, now corrugated iron. It has an attractive garden setting (recently improved) and has the advantage of being sited away from unsympathetic modern structures. Also contains graves of Haddrill children, next to Susannah Smithers' grave.

History

Haddrill bought his 20 acre lot in 1833 and probably built the house shortly afterwards. It was occupied by Haddrill descendants until 1975.
