• As the manager’s residence for the power station this place has historic value for its association with the provision of electricity to the town of Brunswick Junction in 1932.
• It has aesthetic value as a simple example of inter war Califorian bungalow style.
Timber framed fibro, weatherboard and metal roofed dwelling. The house is arranged with three gables to the front elevation with a low wide gable to the central section forming the verandah canopy in the form of the Californian Bungalow architectural style. The verandah has a masonry balustrade and pillars with slender timber columns on top of the pillars supporting the canopy. All three gables have timbered details. The north and south sections both contain centrally placed windows with awnings above. The roof incorporates a brick chimney with terracotta honey pot flues.
This house was built in 1932 as the residence for the manager of the power station constructed in Brunswick Junction in that year. The manager and owner of the power station was Marcus Barlow who was a former employer of WA Goverment Railway prior to establishing the power station.
The power station was disconnected in 1950 when Brunswick Junction was integrated into the main grid.
In later years the house was occupied by the manager of the local car sale yard.
