Statement of Significance

This place is representative of the early development within the Bayswater townsite. The place has historic value for its association with David Murray, a pioneer of Bayswater.

Physical Description

Brick walled cottage with corrugated iron hip roof and a skillion roof to the rear and front sections. The building appears to have been extensively remodelled with modern aluminium sliding windows and the brick walls replacing what were probably originally weatherboard cladding. There is now no verandah to the front and the front garden is enclosed by a brick wall to form a small courtyard. The front door has a half glazed panel and is flanked by a window on either side. The house now has no chimney.

History

The Rate Book of 1899 lists Lot 15 as containing a cottage belonging to Harriett Simpson, widow. This was part of the original Section 38, subdivided by David Murray from 1897, making it one of the very early subdivisions. The land abutting King William Street, surrounding the Post Office and two small adjoining houses, continued as David Murray's garden. Hence the strange configuration of Glyde Street, which was originally designed as a street where a back lane would normally have been situated. This explains the quaint placement of this site. Assuming that the cottage did not predate the subdivision, it would
originate from c.1898.
