Physical Description

House, 14 Davies Street is a single storey timber framed and flat fibrous sheeting (not original) clad walls and a Zincalume hipped roof house. The dropped verandah is supported by timber posts. There is a painted timber fence to the front boundary.

History

This Lot is recorded as Lot 32 & 33 of 59. Rates Books lists construction on Lot 33 in 1900. The first traceable resident is Hugh Patrick from 1905 to c1909. A long-term resident was Alfred Thomas Burgess (c1925-1940). The 1908 sewerage map (No. 87) shows a weatherboard house with a verandah at the front and rear, and another weatherboard room and verandah beyond. The house is on a large lot. In 1948 alterations were made (extended at the rear). In 1978 a new residence numbered 14A was built on lot 32 (south of the original house), the carport of which abuts the original house. The roof was replaced around this time. Later aerial photos (Landgate) show that the roof line has been modified and a rear addition constructed.
