About St Davitts House
St. Davitt’s was built as the family residence for well‐known and successful prospector F. W. P. Cammilleri (Mayor of Busselton, 1904‐07), discoverer of the Brown Hill lode that became known as the Oroya Shoot, and his wife, Kate Bayliss (nee Layman), whose family were among the earliest European settlers in the district, and it remained their family home from completion in 1896, through to their deaths in the 1940s, and continued in the ownership and occupation of members of their family to 1959. St. Davitt’s was built by well‐known Busselton builders, Hough and Donald, who, together and individually, were responsible for numerous notable projects, including Caves House at Yallingup and the extensions to the original Busselton Jetty.
