Statement of Significance
The place is a fine example of the Federation Queen Anne style and is an important example of the work of John Talbot Hobbs, one of the key practitioners of this style in Western Australia.
The place is associated with the Perth Diocesan Trust of the Anglican Church and characterises the pre-eminence of the Anglican Church in Western Australia for many years.
The place is a tangible reminder of the former residential nature of development on St Georges Terrace of which this place is the only remaining element.
The place has landmark qualities derived from its prominent corner location near the head of St Georges Terrace.
The place is in a good condition as a result of extensive restoration and whilst its authenticity is somewhat reduced, it exhibits aesthetic characteristics valued by the community.
Physical Description
Two storey building with tuckpointed brickwork and rendered decorative details. Distinguished by large strongly modelled semi-circular openings, loggias and balconies.
History
In 1856 Bishop Hale, Perth's first Anglican Bishop, purchased five allotments on St Georges Terrace to build a residence for himself and his family. Hale favoured this location because the large grounds and natural spring that flowed all year round. There were also some buildings on the site which could be utilised and incorporated into his residence.
Hale built several buildings on the Bishop's See out of his own income including the Bishop's House.
In 1875 Bishop Hale handed over all his Perth properties to the Perth Diocesan Trustees, leaving Western Australia to take up his appointment as Bishop of Brisbane. After his departure other buildings built included the St Georges House.
