History
The former Hills' Residence is a two-storey, brick residence, constructed in 1895 as the family residence for Mr. J.C.Hills, a mining agent. The Hills' Residence, which included house, stables and outbuildings, was designed by architect J.J.Talbot Hobbs in 1895, on land previously owned by George Shenton. The Hills' Residence continued to be used as a family residence up until about 1946, when it too was converted for other uses. In 1992 the building was adapted to accommodate the offices of the Heritage Council of Western Australia.
