Statement of Significance

The place, for its building form and architectural characteristics, makes a positive contribution to the streetscape and is representative of early development within Bayswater. The place is indicative of the self-help building that was common amongst the English migrants.

Physical Description

Timber framed, jarrah weatherboard house with corrugated metal gable roof and return gable to the projecting front room. Many elements of this dwelling have been replaced and significant extensions were undertaken in 2000, though the extensions were constructed in a similar style.

History

This is a house built on a self-help basis by James Siddons, painter. The Siddons were English migrants of the period before the Great War and this house is part of an area called "Pommy Town" by virtue of the large number of English people who settled in Lawrence, May and Copley Streets.
