Statement of Significance

This place is representative of development north of the railway line within Bayswater and was part of the building boom associated with the development of the Midland Railway Workshops. The place has historic value for its association with Robert McLeish, an influential member within the Bayswater community.

Physical Description

Small, timber frame cottage with corrugated metal sides and front which, whilst presently covered with brick veneer, would previously have been jarrah weatherboard. The hipped roof and lean to rear section formerly covered with corrugated iron, is now covered with tiles which appear to be metal. A central doorway, flanked by double hung windows, opens onto a small front verandah covered by a separate roof supported on full height square columns, possibly steel and approached by a flight of wooden steps.

History

This cottage was built on land owned by Robert McLeish in c.1905. It is known that his first shop, which burnt down, was located on this lot or the adjoining Lot 4.

In the absence of any other information, it is most likely that McLeish built this as a speculative home or rental property. A number of local people of substance were taking advantage of the Railway Workshops related boom and by this stage, it appears that Robert McLeish would have acquired sufficient capital to do so.
