Statement of Significance
The Road Board Office is the only public building of significant character left in the Chapman valley area. Fettlers cottages in the same street are a reminder that the small community was formed to serve the railway between Geraldton and Yuna, whichclosed in 1956. Most of the railway workeres were then transferred and the cottages fell into disrepair through some are still occupied. It was used for Road Board meetings until 1963 but continued to serve for ten years as a meeting hall for local organisations and a centre for bush fire control, using a hand-rung telephone switchboard.
The intention is for the local Historical Society to restore the building to become a museum, using the outside yard for relics of farm equipment.
Physical Description
