Category Description
Municipal Inventory Adopted 25 Jun 1997 Considerable Significance

Considerable Significance

Conservation of the place is highly desirable. Any alterations or extensions should be sympathetic to the heritage values of the place.

Statement of 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.

Physical Description

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.

History

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.
