'Homebush' was one of the earliest residences in Peppermint Grove, when the suburb was little more than scrubland. The place reflects the period in Peppermint Grove's history when members of Perth's social and economic elite left the more established suburbs to locate themselves in the 'naturally' beautiful Peppermint Grove. J EdnieBrown, as Conservator of Forests, reputedly planted a Moreton Bay Fig in his front garden in 1899, which encouraged the planting of 'exotics' that flourished in the suburb. From 1925-1945 'Homebush' was occupied by Horace Jackson, a prominent Perth solicitor. Considerable historical significance.
