Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area and is representative of development north of the railway line within Bayswater. It is part of the early development resulting from the
Copley / Burnside subdivision, that occurred in response to the relocation of the Midland Railway Workshops in 1904.

Physical Description

Elevated brick and iron house on a full storey height masonry plinth and with a corrugated metal hip roof vented at the peaks and covering a surrounding verandah. This is approached by a flight of cement steps with curving walled sides and brick pillars at the foot. The roof is supported on full height timber posts with ornate carved wooden brackets and an open rail balustrade. The central door has top and side lights and has a pair of double hung sash windows on each side. There is a stucco band running around the brick wall at door head height.

History

This land comprised the old Lots 53 to 57, which were acquired by Edward Penny of Coolgardie in 1907. Unfortunately this was the time when the rate books ceased to list the buildings on particular blocks. Much building was occurring in Burnside and Copley Street during the period 1904-1909 following the relocation of the railway workshops to Midland in 1904. It would be consistent with historic trends if this house were of that period. It is noted, however, that the house appears to be too elaborate for a railway worker's house.
