Statement of Significance

Nairn's House has historic significance reflecting the establishment of industry at Cardup and subsequent settlement and development.
It is also significant in its initial association with the Lazenby family and then the Nairn family, and is aesthetically pleasing in both its fabric and setting.

Physical Description

Small rural bungalow, reminiscent of Victorian Georgian style, featuring high-pitched hipped roof and spreading veranda form. Situated on south bank of Cardup Brook.

History

Built by George Lazenby, a prominent person in the Colony in the 1830's, and master builder. Lazenby lived on the property and raised a family of 10 children with his wife Mary. Original Lazenby twostorey house was destroyed by fire, and this cottage replaced the earlier residence, built using bricks from clay at Cardup.
1844 - 1924 John Fletcher Lazenby took over the running of the farm, as well as being
appointed Assistant Registrar for the Serpentine District in 1864.
1891 the property was sold to Harry Anstey. [The Serpentine, N. J. Coy]
1903 the farm was eventually taken over by the Nairn family, who were one of the early successful farming families to settle in the region.
