Statement of Significance
It is likely that the place is a reminder of the early European settlement of the district. The Old Homestead has aesthetic and scientific interest because of its construction, use of materials and steeply pitched roof, and is representative of a rural, vernacular Western Australian homestead.
Physical Description
This Old Homestead is built to the street alignment in a isolated setting on approach to Wandering townsite.
The building has random rubble stone walls, partially rendered with a broken back roof that pitches over the exterior walls. The main roof is steeply pitched. The roof protects an encircling verandah which has been partially enclosed. The date of the enclosures is unknown. The verandah roof is supported by timber posts.
History
