Physical Description
Single storey brick constructed dwelling with a CGI clad hipped roof. Projecting from the west side plane of roof is a brick constructed chimney with a decorative rendered crown.
The east corner of south elevation consists of a projecting section which contains a centrally located, full length 1-over-1 window; it is unclear if the window is fixed or is a sash. Within the recessed section of south elevation is the front entrance which abuts the projecting section. The front entrance consists of the front door (detail of which cannot be seen) and timber framed side lights and fanlight. To the west of the front entrance is another full length timber framed 1-over-1 window (it is unclear whether the window is fixed or a sash). The structure of the verandah is unclear due to the mature vegetation growing on and in front of the
dwelling.
History
Bassendean was originally known as 'West Guildford' and West Road was the original boundary of the Guildford town lots. This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs. From the available information this residence was constructed c1915 and the first occupant was blacksmith, George August MacKenzie (c1876-1967) and Christina MacKenzie (c1880-1962). The couple lived at the
house until their deaths in the 1960s. Aerial photographs indicate that the form and extent of the house has not changed significantly since its construction.
