The roof is hipped, short sheet corrugated iron and continues over the front verandah at a broken pitch, supported by turned and chamfered timber posts. Walls are timber and clad with weatherboard. There is a central front door and timber windows to each side. There is a simple timber balustrade to the verandah which is set up off the ground and access by concrete steps.
History
The townsite of Allanson was originally known as ‘West Collie’ and is located 6km west of the Collie townsite. A railway siding and station was established at West Collie and land set aside for a townsite in 1898. The West Collie townsite was gazetted in 1906. As much of the original townsite land was underlaid by coal seams, little land was released and a new subdivision was made in 1911 and gazetted in 1912. In 1916 the name of the town was changed to Allanson, probably after Arthur Allan Wilson, Collie MLA from 1908 to 1947.
A 1914 townsite plan of West Collie shows Ireland Street, although it is not identified as such. It is identified on a 1917 plan. In 1914, 5 Ireland Street (Lot 51) is shown as leased land with a capital value of £15 and an annual rental of 12/-. In 1917, it is shown as ‘alienated’ or privately owned.
