House

Statement of Significance

This is one of a group of two storey houses of heritage value in this street which is part of an historical
area of South Cottesloe of streetscape value. There was a cottage here in 1914s but two different
people owned the lots which now constitute one block.

Physical Description

This house c 1914-25, has two blocks although it is situated on the seaward one. The house is an
interesting version of the Indian Bungalow. The wide gable which sweeps across the whole of the upper
storey encompasses sets of casement windows and central french doors which open onto the
suspended porch perched above a skillion roof which covers the lower verandah. The now cement-tiled
roof is gabled with a small gable protecting the upper storey porch/balcony. The gable to the porch is
filled with timber and pressed metal in a dressed stone pattern. The verandah posts are turned. The
frieze is just a slightly curved board rising to a central point in each arch. This is repeated in the porch
and under it. Wrought iron balustrading is of later date. Painted brick extends up to the lower level of the
eaves when it becomes pebble dash. The house is below street level. A cement path curves down to
the lower level rising through steps to the verandah which is floored in cement. A front section of the
verandah has been enclosed to form another room.
