Statement of Significance

The place is representative of early development within Bayswater, in particular the Hamilton Estate, and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.

Physical Description

Substantial brick residence with corrugated iron hipped roof pierced by two large brick chimneys featuring decorative stucco treatment to top section. The separate bull nosed roof over the verandah across the front and side is supported on full height timber posts with large decorative brackets and linked by a close set balustrade. Windows are tall double hung sashes. A weatherboard and iron leanto section runs across the rear.

History

This Edwardian style residence in Hamilton Street overlooking Bert Wright Reserve is associated with settlement on the Hamilton Estate. Information from the Rate Books and Electoral Rolls indicates that the house was built in 1906 by Frederick Johnson, machinist. This would make it one of the earliest residences on the Estate, which was subdivided in 1904. The design style of the house indicates a more elaborate and substantial type of house than that being built at the time.
