The site of Seymour Homestead has cultural heritage significance as the original location of the home to W. Seymour and his family. Seymour was connected with the Castle Rock Whaling Company that operated nearby and contributed to the region’s growth.
This place is now a historic site with no evidence of the original buildings remaining. The two original dwellings, designed in local vernacular style were previously located on this site before being relocated to Millbrook Farm on Millbrook Road, Yallingup (P00429). One of them was made from stone and the other weatherboard.
The Seymour family were early settlers in the region. William Seymour arrived in Dunsborough in 1845-1846 to work for Lionel Sampson and Company’s ‘Castle Rock Whaling Company’.
Low Degree/nil Integrity Notes: The place has had all features removed and has low integrity. Authenticity Notes: Not applicable
