This single storey timber and iron residence, in the
Federation Bungalow style, has cultural significance
because:
it is associated with Francis Brady and the
burgeoning timber industry of the south-west;
it is a lively and textbook example of its style and
period, which retains a high level of integrity;
as a prestigious timber house it is comparatively rare
in the suburb;
it is part of a cultural group.
The place is an attractive and lively example of its style and
period.
The place is one of four notable residences of the time built
in jarrah. The others were the Me Neil's 'The Cliffe',
Keane's 'Keane's Point' and the Robert Bunning's house.
'Como' was built by Francis Brady, Manager of Millar's
Timber and Trading. The house typifies the results of the
new wealth generated by the timber of the south-west at this
time. Considerable historical significance.
The place is a textbook example of Federation Bungalow
with its dominant gambrel roof and crippled verandahs. The
crossed decoration adds lightness and vitality to the timber
joinery. A high level of integrity.
