Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area and is representative of development north of the railway line within Bayswater. The place has historic value for its association with
Robert Burnside, an influential member within the Bayswater community.

Physical Description

Brick villa with tile hip roof and gable return to front creating a small verandah with roof supported on fully height timber posts that also extend down one side. The half-glazed front door is situated in the angle of the verandah and has a casement window alongside. The gable return has a similar casement window under a half timber gable pediment. The raised verandah is approached by a set of cement steps.

History

Robert Burnside, a stock and station agent, was originally a friend and business associate of Benjamin Copley. He moved to Bayswater in 1904, his original address being Rose Avenue, meanwhile he had purchased Lots 44 and 47 (5 acres), opposite Copley's property, which he sold and subdivided in 1904. Hence Burnside Street. He then built this large residence on the corner of Copley and Coode Street in 1906/7. His surviving daughter remembers it as having a maid's room, among other luxuries, which set it apart from the more typical houses of the district. Robert Burnside was a Roads Board member during the Great War.
Eventually, both Copley and Burnside moved to Peppermint Grove having then fallen out over a business matter. Though their wives remained friends, the two men whose houses and streets are so close together, never spoke to each other again.
