Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area, following the subdivision of Swan Location V, and has historic associations with Mary Brown.

Physical Description

Timber frame jarrah weatherboard house with corrugated iron hip roof covering a verandah across the front and two sides supported on full height turned wood posts. An additional gable roof covers rear extensions. The front door has top and side lights and there is a group of three wooden casements on each side of the door.
Further extensions, including a two storey addition, have been constructed at the
rear of the subject property. Complementary building materials have been used.

History

The land on which this house was built was purchased by Mary Emily Brown, widow, shortly after the subdivision of Swan Location V in 1905. Mrs Brown acquired five adjoining lots and, so far as can be gathered, ran a poultry farm.
