Our Home's History

Glenlossie has a very interesting history and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Kojonup. To see the restoration with such attention to detail is remarkable.

The first owner in 1846 was George Leake. It would seem that George Maxwell, who was contracted to transport the mail between Kojonup and Perth in 1852 utilised a cottage built on the property.

Thomas Chipper, who later gained the contract for the entire Albany-Perth mail service is thought to have occupied the cottage for a time also. He developed a staging post as Namarillup (The original name for the area) and he appears to have built a residence, the core of the present building. Subsequent owners of the property were Alexander Moir & Frederick Watts who added to the house and built the stone sheds on the opposite side of the highway.

Another owner in 1904 was James McHenry Clark, who added to the north end of the homestead and renamed the property “Glenlossie”

Charles Knox Ross purchased the property in 1909, by then it was a substantial nine roomed residence.

 

Glenlossie

Subsequent owners were Leonard Raymond Wilkie, Charles Herman Neumann, Walter Hawkins Penny & Bell Brothers. In 1949 CSRIO purchased Glenlossie & it became an agricultural research station, and in 1968 the Rourke Family purchased the west side of the Glenlossie farm along with the Homestead & they are still the current owners.

The house gradually fell into disrepair over the years from 1968 until 2004 when Colin Rourke returned back to Glenlossie to renovate & restore this beautiful home  to its former glory.
