Statement of Significance
The place is of architectural significance and is associated with prominent people. The house is a large intact double storey residence in its original setting. It was built by the Hon. Septimus Bur-t K.C. (first Attorney General in the Forrest administration - first responsible government in W.A.) and used by him and his family as his summer residence. The house is a landmark in the district and represents a way of life no longer able to be practised.
Physical Description
Burt*s Summer Residence stands in faded gentility in its large surrounding grounds< The house, once the pride of Cottesloe, is double storied, of limestone with brick quoins to windows and corners. The gabled roof is of iron and the ends of two of its gables are covered with pressed metal. The upper floor verandah is on the western frontage only, and affords a "widows walk" view of the ocean. All verandahs have now T been unsympathetically filled with asbestos sheeting.
Though not in good condition it could be restored to its former grandeur and holds special relationship with its near neighbours "Belvediere" in Rosendo Street and the "Le Fanu" house which is adjacent to the grassed front garden area.
