Historical information

Based on both the structural details and the clothing visible in the image, this photograph can be estimated to date from the late 1880s to the 1890s. The roof is sheeted with corrugated iron. While introduced earlier in the century, it became standard for homestead expansions and re-roofing projects in rural Western Australia toward the latter decades of the 1800s.
