Statement of Significance

Dawna is significant for the associations with early settlers Edmund and Mary Dooling, establishing their home as early as c.187 4 and installing a public phone in 1929, also operating the phone exchange until 1946. The place demonstrates a sense of place for recent uses as a tearooms and caravan park.

Physical Description

Set in landscaped gardens, the homestead is apparent by the two substantial rendered chimneys along the ridgeline of the original building. Additions and alterations are apparent but the fabric and form of the building remains. The three headstones are grouped together within a small picket fenced area.

History

Edmund and Mary Dooling bought the Swan locations, 545, 547 & 551 in the 1860's and they named their land "Dawna." In c.1874, they engaged a professional builder, probably Matt Wallis who had built the Junction Hotel the year before, to erect a substantial mud bat shingle roofed house. After the deaths of Edmund Dooling in 1894 and his wife in 1912, Michael Nolan who had married their daughter, Annie Dooling, acquired the property. They settled at Dawna in 1913. A public telephone was installed at Dawna on the 15th March 1929. Miss Nolan operated the telephone exchange from this date until May 1946 when the Manual Exchange closed. Up until recently the property was ran by Kaye and Harry White as tearooms and gardens. Later it has been operated as a Caravan Park and Gardens and is now called 'Willowbrook Farm".

Physical Description

The house was located on 400 acres of farmland just south of the Gingin Brook and a few kilometres from Gingin. It is a brick home with all except the front wall plastered and dispays sash windows, quoins, an iron roof and a bull nose verandah. There are four main rooms about 15 ft square with fireplaces. There is a wide passage down the centre and a back verandah (enclosed). There are big steps at the rear and more steps going down to a small cellar. There is an old toilet near the back steps and a side verandah used as a garage. The roof is unusual with a 'U' shaped hip. The front verandah is 6ft wide with posts unevenly spaced.

History

The house was built for Hamlet Jones when he married Sarah Rosa Clinch in 1893. Sarah died in 1899 and the property was bought by J.V.A. Jones, Hamlet's brother. Honeycomb was leased by Mr Cornish in 1907. J.VA. Jones sold it to R.F. Cooper in 1936 and he eventually sold it to Alec Collett. The property has been sold several times since and is presently owned by Roly Read.

Condition

It has been thoroughly restored and is used as a private residence.

Statement of Significance

Gingin Hotel is the only surviving Hotel in Gingin and has operated continually since it opened in 1903. It is a fine representative example of the Federation period of architecture and of development in Gingin at that time, making a significant contribution to the townscape heritage. It is also significant for associations with various owners and managers including John Musk, and wife Catherine, Tom Jones, and others, and demonstrates a sense of place for the social and hospitality functions of the place, that continue in the 21st century,

Physical Description

The hotel faces Jones Street directly opposite Gingin Railway Station. The two-storey building has a simple parapet with pilastered bays and an asymmetrical pediment detail with a bay identifying the main entry. Verandas at ground floor and first floor levels extend across the front and down the east side. There is a c.1960s single storey addition along the east side.

History

The railway opened from Midland to Ging in in 1891 and continued through to Mogumber in 1892 and then beyond to Geraldton. By 1902, the town was developing rapidly and the Gingin Hotel was constructed directly opposite the railway station providing a distinct advantage over the Granville Hotel. It opened on 29 January 1903. Rumour has it that two defrocked priests (Fathers Duff and Flood) were the responsible. The original licensee was Mrs Catherine Malone, with her brother Patrick Murphy taking over after her sudden death in 1905. The Granville Hotel still had the business of proving refreshments for the train railway patrons. However new management in 1908 at Gingin Hotel, William Spence (from Miners Arms in Northampton) rivalled that business. In the mid 19210, the wealthy northwest pastoralist John Musk purchased the hotel, in order to replace the lessee at the time with JVA Jones' son Tom as Manager, after he had returned from World War One. After John Musk's death in 1921, his wife Catherine took over his estate. The trains continued to provide hotel patronage for refreshments and accommodation until the mid 1940s, although railway patronage diminished after that time.

Statement of Significance

Gingin Railway Station & Quarters was one of the first railway stations constructed on the Midland Junction to Walkway line by the Midland Railway Company. It was constructed by prominent builder, innovative farmer and developer Friedrich Wilhelm Gustav Liebe, and is also associated with Edward Keane, a leading railway builder. It was part of the development of the Midland-Walkaway Railway that provided the essential transport for pastoral and agricultural development in the region.

Physical Description

The "T" shape form comprises an extensive 'frontage along the platform parallel with the railways line, and protruding gable street frontage to Jones Street. The pavilion gable roof similarly runs parallel with the railway line with gables each end and a gable feature on the street front. All other railway elements associated with the site are no longer extant.

History

Gingin Railway Station was constructed in 1891 by the Midland Railway Company, under Edward Keane's direction as he extended the railway line from Midland Junction through to Walkway and later to Geraldton, opening up the pastoral and agricultural land and development opportunities. The Jones family of nearby Granville ran the refreshments rooms. The railway station comprised a goods shed, refreshment rooms and a longer platform, water tanks at each end to facilitate two trains at simultaneously, and crane, all that have since been demolished. With the demise of steam trains, and later the introduction of more efficient road transport, the railway station was decommissioned in 1976. Sometime later after it had been vacant and fallen into disrepair, It was leased to the Diggins family for 21 years during which time they restored the place. The Gingin Railway Station building is now owned by the National Trust. This place is currently leased to the Gingin Lions club who have undertaken conservation work to the building and have opened to the public as a small cafe, gift shop and interpretive centre.

Statement of Significance

Important because the house served as an unofficial hospital.

Physical Description

Originally a four roomed house with a passage down the centre. The rooms were approximately 14ft square with high ceilings. The front bedroom had a pressed tin ceiling, as has the front half of the passage. The living room behind has a corrugated tin ceiling and a burnt brick fireplace. The other rooms may not have had ceilings originally, now they are asbestos or similar. The front door and windows are original and the interior of this part of the house is probably original.The verandahs have been concreted with steel verandah posts. The kitchen is relatively new and the levels at the back have been raised to correspond with the rest of the house. Originally, high and steep steps made it dangerous.

History

The original owner, Hugh S. King, was a son of Daniel King of the Junction. At one time he was the town's Undertaker. His wife, Lily King, served for many years as the town Nurse and this house became the Hospital with many babies being born here. Numerous Gingin residents owe their lives to Mrs. King.

Physical Description

The house had three rooms with wooden board ceilings. The kitchen, bathroom and toilet were added on in asbestos and weather board later. An old laundry with a copper (which has since been removed) stood just at the rear. These additions are now largely destroyed. The central room still has an old Metters stove. The walls are in good condition but the bull nose iron on the front verandah is partly collapsed. Plants in the house garden include large oak and carob trees, very old jade plants, climbing rose, English may, honeysuckle and fruit trees.

History

The existing house was built by Mr. W.H.J. Horan (Station Master, Gingin) in 1911. His sons Clayton and Eric helped him. The clay for the mud bats was dug on the property closer to the Brook and the excavation can still be seen. William H.J. Horan was appointed Station Master at Gingin in 1901. With his wife and their five children, Eric, Clayton, Eileen, Leonie and Lillian, he lived in the Railway Station quarters for many years. He retired from the railways and built a house on The Horseshoe and lived the rest of his days here. He was employed as Roads Board Secretary from 1925 until his death in 1937. His son, Eric, was killed in a horse riding accident on Christmas Day, 1911 while the house was being built. Lillian Horan served as Roads Board Secretary from 1937 until her sudden death while at work in the Road Board Office in 1948. Lillian and her sister Eileen lived in the house in Lefroy St while their other sister Leonie married Elvie King.

History

Richard Cockram and his family emigrated from England in 1850 and it is estimated that he came to Gingin with his brother-in-law, Thomas Buckingham, in 1854. They worked together to build pug walled houses and barns for Gingin settlers. Richard and his five sons lived and worked around Gingin though they had other interests in Perth and Wanneroo. The Cockram's built a two storey Hotel north of the Lennard's Brook crossing in the 1860's on the Gingin side of Lennard's Brook where the abattoir now stands Edmund Oxen Cockram, son of Richard, held a Publican's Licence in 1870 and the building was known as the Gingin Hotel The Hotel was partially destroyed by fire in 1886 and rebuilt as a single storey home by Ephraim Cockram and did not operate as a Hotel after this time. The property remained in the Cockram family until 1924 when it was sold to Thomas McCormick, then K Parsons, then to Mr. Harley. The roof blew off in a 1943 storm and a cottage was built nearby. Parsons removed the remaining mud bat and built a new brick and tile home near the site of the hotel. It is now owned by Mr N. Borrello who has constructed an extensive abattoir on the land

Physical Description

Built on the southern bank of Lennard's Brook by John York of Creaton for his son John York, Jnr. It was made from mud bat made from clay with a shingled roof, with three rooms and a verandah.

History

This house stands on the south side of Lennards Brook, just beyond the Ashby Bridge. Spratton was built by John York of Creaton for his son John York, Jnr. and his wife, Marion McHard who lived here in the 1860's and later moved to Breera. It was of mud bat made from the river clay with a shingled roof, colonial style with three rooms and a verandah. Four rooms were later added along the south side. John Dewar purchased Spratton in 1882 and after his death in 1911; John York ( J Y ) Dewar inherited it. In approximately 1938, J.Y. Dewar moved to Gingin and his son Leslie and his wife took over. Leslie demolished the old back section and two rooms, also of mud bat, were erected in their place raising the floor level to correspond with the rest of the house. Spratton was sold by the Dewar family in the 1980's and has since been unoccupied and largely overgrown.

History

The railway reached Mooliabeenie (presumably) soon after it reached Gingin in April 1891. A Station Master's house was built, which also served as a Post Office. Local settlers were employed on the railway and at the Station. The Ward family lived in a house to the west of the Station. After their departure during WW1, the house was used as a Shop and residence by Mr. W. Leaman. This was destroyed by fire in March 1922. Mr. J. O'Hare built a new house close to the Siding, which was still in operation c 1940. Yet another Store was built by Mr. Bill Read in 1946 when Mrs. Read resumed duties at the Railway Station and Post Office.

Statement of Significance

Cleveland is significant as the site of the original c.1867 homestead built by William Thomas king, providing a home for his wife and family of ten children, demonstrating a way of life and associations with an early settler. Associations with John Musk who constructed the existing Cleveland in c.1907, that his wife Catherine Musk inherited in 1921 are significant. Mrs Musk was a philanthropic identity in the Gingin area, and Cleveland represents a fine example of the period and the Musk association. The World War Two association as or being utilised as a Military Hospital is significant.

Physical Description

The site of the original homestead is on the north side of Mooliabeenie Road opposite the existing Cleveland. The original house was built of mud bricks plastered with lime mortar, with three rooms in a row. On the west wall was a fireplace lined with burnt bricks. Later other rooms were added, built with yellow burnt bricks made from clay dug on the property It stood on an elevated terrace supported by an ironstone wall. There was also a well, lined with ironstone. It was severely damaged in 1944- ruins remain? No inspection of Cleveland in 2016.

History

William Thomas King bought Swan location 444 of 75 acres in February of 1867. He married Selina Lazenby, a Gingin school teacher, in 1865. There were ten children born here. In 1896 Ernest Hugh King bought Cleveland from his father for 2,000 pounds. In 1905 it was sold to C.H. Teague from Subiaco for 1,138 pounds. Then in 1907, the property was sold to John Musk who built a new home on the south side of Mooliabeenie Road. The original Cleveland house was badly damaged by a storm in 1944. John Musk, a wealthy grazier from the northwest ofW.A bought the property in 1907 and employed Jack Meakins and Bob Collett to make the mud bats.

Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance

Built in about 1906 to facilitate the movement of stock from north of the Gingin Brook to the Railway Station. A Stock Route was fenced from G. Sadler's land to connect (via the bridge) with Roe Street and across Jones Street to stock yards at the Railway Station.

Physical Description

Situated about 750m downstream from the Gingin Town bridge.

History

The Three Bridges and Stock Route, which connects Roe St and Dewar Rd, was constructed about 1906 to facilitate the movement of stock from northern farming properties to the Railway Station. Townspeople had objected to herds of cattle destroying and fouling the main street of the Town and damaging the Town bridge. In the 1930's the Stock Route and bridge were also used for carting lime from One Tree Hill to the Station. The Stock Route was fenced from G. Sadler's land and the bridging of the Brook, necessitating the crossing of three separate streams of Gingin Brook. The bridges were repaired between 1935 in 1938 using timber from the old Cowalla Bridge. George Hill was the contractor and the cost was 6 pounds. The Gingin Shire carried out a major renovation in 2000, which made it a beautiful place from which to view the Brook and its vegetation. A disastrous fire on 20 December 2002 burnt the Brook from a kilometre south of the Brand Highway up to the Park near Weld St in the Town. Two of the three bridges were also destroyed.

Statement of Significance

The Quarry (and others yet to be located) was an important source of easily worked stone when settlement of the Gingin Town site was in its early stages.

History

Hearsay evidence tells that the site was used as the source of stone for St Luke's Church and Philbeys Cottage Recent identification of a Quarry on SL 370 matches recorded descriptions of such a location but evidence is circumstantial unless testing of stone in that location and relevant buildings can be carried out. The origin of the term 'Casuarina' is unknown.
