This single storey brick and iron residence, in a blended Federation Bungalow/Queen Anne style, has cultural significance because: it has historic significance through its associations with the Reverend George Potts and John Furse McMillan; it has social significance because it is associated with the establishment of the Sunday School and choir at the Congregational Church; it is comparatively rare in its blending of symmetrical and asymmetrical styles; it is part of a cultural group and is located within a towns cape area.
The place was owned and occupied from c.I9I5 to c.1935 by the Reverend George Potts, when he was Minister of the Congregational Church, Cottesloe (now demolished). In c.1955 John Furse McMillan (son of Sir Robert McMillan of 47 View Street) bought and occupied the house. The McMillan family have been members of the Peppermint Grove community for most of the last 100 years. Some historical significance. This is an attractive place in a style which blends both Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne styles. There is a curious blend of symmetry and asymmetry in the design, which is not fully resolved. In the twenty years that the Reverend Potts was Minister, he was responsible for establishing the local Sunday School and choir at the Congregational Church. Some social significance.
Walls and chimneys have been painted. Skillion carport added.
