After marrying Elizabeth Sewell in 1844 he purchased Balladong Farm in 1848. During the 1850s, Parker developed the property into a very successful farm. The “village” now known as Blandstown, the oldest privately settled part of the York town, developed around Balladong Farm due to the influential presence, water supply, and the river crossing.

Statement of Significance

A group of related farm buildings established by Stephen Parker who acquired the farm in 1848. The buildings variously demonstrate the superb architecture styles, the technical accomplishment and the social history of the pioneer faming family. The Balladong group in its farming environment on rich alluvial lands beside the Avon River, constitutes a unique and culturally significant component in the York Historic Town.

Physical Description

Farmhouse on bank of Bland Creek. The two storied granary with shingled roof joined to a stone walled stable block with shingled roof and bush pole framing, was built in the form of a square cloister opening onto the central courtyard, in 1890. The adjacent searing shed dating from the 1870sis constructed in timber in the tradition of buildings of their use throughout Australia. A high timber framed roof covered in shingles with lapped timber boarding on timber framing, a battened timber floor raised well above the ground for the containment of sheep.

History

The Balladong farm land originally formed part of the Government Farm leased by R H Bland in 1832after its inception on the arrival of the first settlers in 1831. Later in 1832, Bland was granted 1000 acres of the farm as a reward for his services in settling the district. In 1848 he sold the farm to Stephen Parker and moved back to the Swan River Settlement as Private Secretary to Governor Fitzgerald. Parker developed the farm and was responsible for the buildings which survive today. In recent years, the granary, stables and shearing shed have been restored. The original flour mill and other farm buildings no longer survive in their original form or siting.
