The heritage listed Springmount homestead and the Fisherman's Shack, both located in Nanarup. [5] [6]
Springmount was built for Henry and Alice Leishman, the latter being the sister of Australian artist Rupert Bunny. The Leishmans moved to Albany in 1892 and subsequently settled in Nanarup. By the turn of the century, Springmount became one of the most notable farms in the area. The farm was left to their son Hugh, one of their three children, after the First World War, but Hugh died after an accident in 1925. With their daughter Lillian having died from pneumonia in 1924 and their other daughter, Grace, having married in 1910, Springmount became a guesthouse in the 1930s. Henry Leishman died in 1935 and the property was being leased out, becoming a popular holiday destination. The property was subsequently renamed Lake View Guesthouse, because of the views of Taylor Inlet. It has since been sold a number of times. [5]
The Fisherman's Shack is the only surviving example of the shacks built in the area after the Second World War, the others having been removed when the area became the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve in 1966. It was subsequently used by park staff and scientific visitors. [6]
