History

This house was built to accommodate the first manager of State Sawmill
No 2 which was built nearby in 1913/14. Close by is the The Pemberton
Mill Workers’ Cottages Precinct which grew up around the mill. This is
a complex of single storey timber weatherboard residences in Broadway,
Brockman St, Dean St, Pine St, Kelly St and Karri Rise. The cottages
were built by the State Saw Mills from C1913-1914-20, 1924-26 and
C1951 to accommodate workers employed at the Big Brook (Pemberton)
timber mill. The mill was erected in 1913 on Reserve 16354, held by the
State Saw Mills on a 999 year lease.
The first manager was William Joshua Properjohn, who was an
experienced timber man. He continued with State Saw Mills until 1924.
