Considerable Significance |
Significant for associations with the original Baskerville Estate of William Tanner and subsequently Walter Padbury and Henry Hardwick. Historically and socially significant as one of the earliest estates settled in the Swan Valley and subsequently for associations with the further subdivision of the Valley in the early 1900s.
The homestead originally consisted of a central block with wings to the north and south with a gabled roof. The building was extended and extensively altered in 1974. The extensions and modifications are unsympathetic with the remaining original fabric.
Baskerville Estate was originally the property of William Tanner who left WA in 1835. In the 1880s it was bought by Walter Padbury who employed his relative Henry Hardwick to manage Baskerville. The homestead was built for Hardwick who bought the property from Padbury in the 1890s. The estate was subsequently subdivided.
