From the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places:
The Old Mill and Cottage are situated on an historic landmark on the South Perth Foreshore of the Swan River.
The windmill was built in 1837 over a foundation stone laid by Governor
Stirling in 1835. Poorly sited and inefficient, it ceased to operate in 1859. In 1959
it was restored and made complete with parts from Chapman's Mill, Wonnerup.
The buildings are now used as a public museum for relics from the State's early
history.

Nursery & Gift Centre:
From the Heritage Council of Western Australia listing:
A wooden windmill about 20m high having a very authentic appearance.
It is set amongst a large number of trees. It was built by a Dutch coach maker as a residence in 1970,
although it was always intended it would be the focus of a business. It is still used as a residence and is
the focus of a plant nursery, one of the first modern nurseries in the Jandakot area.
