A strong and individual statement of an early interwar bungalow in a prominent position in Broome Street.
It and its grounds are an important part of the streetscape in central Broome Street. Part of the post WWi
building boom.
A "Federation Bungalow", 1916, set next to Cottesloe tennis courts in Broome Street. The style is an
unusual mix of Georgian with American "Craftsman". Mature plantings screen this house and give a
secluded ambience. Terracotta gabled roof and tuckpointed redbrick walls with white woodwork on a
dressed limestone base. The chimney is squat with a corbelled top. The unusual features of this house
are the heavy projecting gable screen to Broome Street which makes a strong "Prairie" statement and
the ten-light windows in sets of three with three arched windows above each having four panes. Arched
brickwork over the doors. Square timber posts to the porch have a fretted support to the handrail. Under
the projecting gable is a protruding bay probably of a later date roofed with mock shingles. This is filled
with multi -paned windows also of a slightly later date [the glazing bars are narrower]. The front door is
Edwardian in style with no side lights but stained glass in the panel and in the light above. A French
door to the garden is multi paned. A later addition is a double garage to the side of the house.
William Gregor Smith for whom it was built in 1916 had previously lived in "Cooee" in John Street. Smith was captain of
the Cottesloe Tennis Club during the 1930s. He had business interests in shipping. He was also a member of the Surf
Lifesaving Club.
