Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area and is representative of the spread of development north of the railway line within Bayswater. It is also indicative of the speculative
building that occurred within Bayswater. The site has historic value for its association with Benjamin Copley, an influential member of the Bayswater community.

Physical Description

This weatherboard and corrugated iron cottage is similar in style to its neighbour, No.18. Both are timber framed weatherboard houses with corrugated metal hip roofs and separate bullnose verandah roofs across the front supported by full height turned wooden posts. Both front walls have double hung wooden sash windows on each side of a central door opening onto the verandah.

History

The land on which this house was built was purchased by Phillip Fuller in 1907. It appears to have been built as a rental property, as no residents of Copley Street (listed in Post Office Directories), can be traced to the house or appear on the Rate Books. Unfortunately its occupancy in the early days is a mystery.
