33 & 35 Duchess Street, a brick and tiled Federation Bungalow styled duplex, has cultural heritage significance as a good and unusual example of the style applied to a duplex residence in the context of Busselton.
Brick, stucco and tiled roof Federation Bungalow style duplex.
An unusual place in the Busselton area, this is a Federation Bungalow style duplex, with brick construction walls and stucco trim and a steeply pitched gambrel pattern concrete tiled roof. It has a full width front verandah, supported on stop-chamfered posts with decorative post brackets. The place has a timber picket fence and a simple neat garden. The building was owned by J. Thomas, who built four units in the form of two duplex buildings on the site. Nos 1 & 2 Duchess St. and 3 & 4 in Adelaide St. The block originally ran through from Duchess St to Adelaide Street in 1896 (rates book), as was the case with all of the blocks in this street at this time. Four units were built on Lot 65 and a lane way servicing night carts ran through the middle of the blocks dividing the Adelaide and Duchess Street Frontages. This lane was, in part resumed by the Shire of Busselton in 2000, however the lane in the area behind these buildings is extant. The building is situated directly over the road from the Busselton Hospital site. No, 6 was built to house the Matron of the Hospital, while No. 8 housed the Hospital Doctor.
The place retains a high degree of integrity.
The place retains a high degree of authenticity.
