Statement of Significance

Standring House has historic significance as one of the oldest remaining buildings in Denham. Together with other houses on Knight Terrace of the same era, the place contributes significantly to the built environment of Denham. It is representative of the type of construction taking place at the turn of the century in Denham, being simple in style, basic in material and small in scale.

Physical Description

The Standring House is prominently located on the main street in Denham opposite the beach. Fronting onto the footpath, it is a small timber framed building clad with weatherboards with some fibro infill and extensions. The main section of the house has weatherboard wall cladding, a corrugated iron gable roof and a broken back verandah roof to the front (west) elevation. The verandah is supported on timber posts with infill asbestos sheeting to 1 metre. There is a verandah to the north elevation which is partly enclosed with fibro. The house has extensions and a lean-to at the rear.

History

Standring House derives its name from its owners since 1969, Tony and Meryl Standring. Prior to that the house has been owned by the Henfrys, Mick Fryer and Joan and Brian Dixson. The Standrings occupied the house for six months of the year during the fishing season. The building was reroofed in 1986-87.
