Physical Description
Single storey brick and tile dwelling which presents with a symmetrical façade consisting of two projecting bays either side of a recessed section of the façade. The east bay projects further than the west. Featured within the recessed section of façade is the front entrance; no more detail is visible due to mature planting. Centrally located on the projecting bays is a group of three timber framed windows where the central glazed sections are fixed and the sections either side of this are casement windows. The roof is a complex hipped arrangement which is clad in terracotta tiles. Underneath the eaves of the two
projecting bays a separate flat roofed porch has been built covering the recessed section which is supported by timber posts.
History
Eden Hill was approved as a suburb in 1954. The name 'Eden Estate' had been used in the area since the late 1890s when developer and future Premier of Western Australia, Frank Wilson, subdivided land for residential use. The name was believed to come from a farm that once existed in the area. This residence was built during a period of rapid expansion and development following World War II when Western Australia was experiencing significant economic and population growth. Areas on the fringes of the metropolitan area such as Eden Hill were taken up for new subdivisions. The construction of the new Eden Hill school buildings in 1953 on the other side of Marion Street would have made this area popular for
young families.
