Physical Description
This single storey timber framed residence with a colored zincalume roof has a simple symmetrical presentation. The central entrance is a single door without fanlight or side panels. The flanking windows are three-sectioned casement windows. The verandah is an extension of the roof form supported on simple timber posts.
The original timber weatherboard cladding of the house has been replaced with a later product of a similar profile.
The residence is enclosed within ametal fence of approximately 1800mm high, clad to half its height with corrugated sheeting which limits the view of the place from the street.
The garden features some mature trees which may date from its original construction.
History
Herbert Henry Roberts (c.1880-1938) had worked in the Western Australia Goldfields in the 1890s, and arrived in Perth in 1912. He settled in South Belmont in the early 1920s, purchasing a block on the corner of Uranium Street and Belmont Avenue in 1922 to establish a dairy.
This house was built c1923 but no detail of the builder has been found.
Roberts was one of the first farmers to install a milking machine after the installation of electricity in the late 1920s.
Roberts resided in Belmont Avenue until his death in 1938.
Aerial photographs indicate the house was extended to the rear in the 1980s, which was subsequently modified in 2015 to enable the construction of a new building in the rear of the lot.
The original form and extent of the residence can still be readily determined.
