As we drive by the Carnegie property on Williams Rd I always wonder what is history of this old homestead. I have not yet been able to find any.

Carnegie is a distinctive example of the work of architect B H Dods and builder J H Brown.
Built in 1908, it was the home of the Cornwall family and was designed to suit the elegant lifestyle of a landowner in those days, There were twelve rooms, and one, known as the “ballroom”, was big enough for dances. As many as 150 people would attend on formal occasions. Another room was used as a school-room for children too young to make a long journey to school.
In a detached wing at the back were the kitchen and servants rooms - a custom that afforded privacy for the family and also reduced the risk of fire from the kitchen spreading to the main house.
The two-storey brick coach house is still well-preserved.
Some of the original features of the house have been altered over the years. The pressed metal ceilings and the mirrors and panelling in the bathroom have been removed and one of the lovely bay windows at the front was replaced with doors, but structurally the house remains as it was in Cornwall’s day.
William George Cornwall junior was born at Beaufort, near Kojonup, on 23 March 1866. He took over the management of his father’s properties at Williams and later obtained them in his own right, In about 1902 he moved to Narrogin where he had business interests and developed the farm Carnegie.
After his untimely death in 1914 the family carried on farming the property, but in 1920 it was leased to Mr W I Graham of “Minabbie”, Geeralying, for five years, Mr Cornwall’s son then returned until after World War II when the property was sold to the War Services Land Settlement Board.
Subsequently the property as been occupied b the Powells, the McDonalds, the Days, the Tuckers and I believe today’s owners are the Lange family.
