History
Harry Lee and his family lived here prior to the Twine family. James Twine (1813-1893) came to the colony as a labourer in 1833 and bought a farm in Guildford which he traded for Dr. Viveash's Location 32. Twine came to the Toodyay district in the early 1850's and was one of the few settlers who established themselves through the 1860's. Twine and his sons purchased and developed several properties in the district including this landholding. The current residence is believed to have been built in the 1880's.
