Constructed from 1934
• This place has aesthetic value as a well-executed and intact example of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the early 20th century and for its association with the Pickering family who made a significant contribution to the Bassendean community. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the 1920s.
This dwelling is an extended inter-war property of rendered brick and tile construction. A tiled awning overhangs the window on the front elevation, which is supported by timber brackets. The windows are timber framed casements with leaded lights. The dwelling has an asymmetric plan form with a timber detail immediately below the eaves to the projecting section of the facade. A densely planted garden obscures much of the property.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer, Wesley Maley. The names of roads in this subdivision known as ‘Riverside’, reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property. Several of the rams were named in honour of Australian prime ministers and Barton Parade reflects this enthusiasm. This residence was built for Norman John Campbell Pickering and his new bride Mabel Elsie Vaughn in 1935. Norman Pickering. Norman's parents John and Jane Pickering lived at 6 Barton Parade at the residence named 'Floreal' which was one of the first in the street. It is likely that John Pickering, civil servant and Chairman of the Bassendean Road Board owned the majority of the lots on the western side of Barton Street and provided the lot for the newly married couple in 1934. A notice in 'The West Australian', May 1934 announcing building permits for the week included the construction of a new brick residence for Mr J. Pickering for £800. Norman Pickering was working as a salesman during the 1930s and joined the AIF during World War II spending some time as a prisoner of war. He remained in the Armed Services after the war.

Constructed from 1928
• This place has aesthetic value as a well-executed and intact example of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the early 20th century. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the 1920s.
A single storey timber framed house with weatherboard cladding. Extensive hipped and gabled roof which has been reclad with corrugated galvanised iron. The roof continues to sweep down forming the verandah canopy and incorporating a slight break in the pitch. The verandah canopy is supported on timber columns with timber brackets. The house is of asymmetric plan form with a projecting wing which incorporates a 3-section timber framed casement window with highlights. This window is protected by a CGI canopy. The entrance and another 3-section window are incorporated into the recessed section of the front elevation.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 when developer, Wesley Maley purchased a large parcel of land bordering the river. The names of roads in this subdivision known as ‘Riverside’, reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property, Moojebing. Maley purchased a flock of rams from South Australian politician, J.H. Angus. Several of the rams were named in honour of Australian prime ministers and consequently the names Watson, Deakin, Barton, Fisher and Reid were applied to the roads in this subdivision. From the available information it appears this residence was built c1927 for Ernest St Clair Stewart (1884- 1969). The street numbering in the early years of development was different from the current numbering and it is probable that this was 11 Barton Parade.Ernest Stewart and his wife, Sarah Ann Amelia, née Carney (1892-1961, married in 1912 and lived at the house for only a few years. Ernest Stewart was a member of the Bassendean road Board from 1928 to 1931. Later occupants of the residence were John G Blockley and Allan Kirk.

Constructed from 1950
• This place has aesthetic value as a rare example of a stone residence. Its good condition and intact original detailing contribute to value. • This place has historic value for its association with the the post-World War Two period. • The place has social value as a demonstration of the scale of a typical family home of the 1950s.
A single storey stone and tiled property of asymmetric plan form. The façade is of distinctive stone construction comprising contrasting iron stone and limestone arranged in a random pattern with beaded mortar joints.The verandah canopy extends over the recessed section of the façade supported on masonry doric styled columns with stone wall to match the house. The canopy is part of the main roof albeit at a slight broken pitch. The roof is hipped with a separate hip to the projecting bay. The windows are timber framed side hung casements, some with a fixed central pane. The panes incorporate leaded glazing
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 when developer, Wesley Maley purchased a large parcel of land bordering the river. The names of roads in this subdivision known as ‘Riverside’, reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property, Moojebing. Maley purchased a flock of rams from South Australian politician, J.H. Angus. Several of the rams were named in honour of Australian prime ministers and consequently the names Watson, Deakin, Barton, Fisher and Reid were applied to the roads in this subdivision. The lots were not developed rapidly and most not until the period following World War Two. The land on which this residence is located was purchased in 1945 from the well-known local family, the Pickerings. Construction of the house began in 1948 but the shortage of materials meant that the residence was not completed until 1950 for William James Francis Young (c1912-1991) and his wife Millicent May Young (c1915-2004). William Young was a wood machinist and the couple lived at the house until at least the 1980s. It is not clear why the house was constructed in stone, a relatively unusual material for the district. Information from aerial photography indicates the residence has changed little since construction.

Constructed from 1919
• This place has aesthetic value as a late example of the Federation style set in a mature garden. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of Bassendean in the early 20th century. • The place has research value as its evolution from 1898 demonstrates different building styles and techniques. • The place has historic value for its association with prominent local community member, John Pickering and his family. • This place has social value as the house demonstrates the form and scale of housing for professional men and their families in the early 20th century.
Single storey dwelling of timber framed construction clad in weatherboard. Most detail of the façade is obscured due to dense and mature vegetation. The façade has two projecting sections; one on the east and west corners with a central recessed section. The front entrance is centrally located on the east projecting section façade. The roof appears hipped and clad in corrugated metal. There is a gabled dormer window situated in the south plane of hipped roof within the recessed section of façade. A separate corrugated metal bullnose canopy extends across the east projecting and recessed sections of façade and is supported by timber posts with decorative timber brackets.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 when developer, Wesley Maley purchased a large parcel of land bordering the river. The names of roads in this subdivision known as ‘Riverside’, reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property, Moojebing. Maley purchased a flock of rams from South Australian politician, J.H. Angus. Several of the rams were named in honour of Australian prime ministers and consequently the names Watson, Deakin, Barton, Fisher and Reid were applied to the roads in this subdivision. The lots were not developed rapidly and most not until the period following World War Two. Information from the current owners states the building has been constructed in several stages and been adapted and added to regularly. It is understood that the first structure on the property was a simple two roomed shack built in 1898. Between 1905 and 1911, three rooms and a hallway were added in a more conventional manner of construction when compared to the earlier rudimentary shack. During this phase of work or shortly after the ceilings were raised in the original portion of the house and a new roof constructed across the two structures. It is believed these additions were instigated by John Pickering who secured the large property and established an orchard. Works were again undertaken at the place for John Pickering in 1923 as documentary evidence has been found to confirm works at the property. John William Pickering (c1869-1957) and his wife Jane Anne, nee Waites (c1865-1955) were very active in the Bassendean community. John Pickering was elected Chairman of the West Guildford Road Board in 1913-14 and took that office again in 1921-22. With the adoption of the name ‘Bassendean’ in 1922, he became the first Chairman of the Bassendean Road Board and held office until 1929. His contribution to the Town of Bassendean was acknowledged in the naming of ‘Pickering Park’ in 1913 prior to his election to office as a tribute to the work he had done to establish the park.The couple lived in the house they named ‘Floreat’ until the 1950s on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary, John Pickering made the comment that Jane ‘was a wonderful woman who ‘did all the housework and washing for a house that measured 60ft by 60ft’.In the 1960s the house was converted to a triplex and the property boundaries were reduced. New structures were constructed adjoining the house and partitions were erected within the original rooms. In 1974, the property was transferred to new owners who undertook additions and renovations over the following decades. The current owners have continued to undertake sympathetic additions and repairs including reroofing the whole house in zincalume. During the additions particular attention has been made to retain the mature trees in the garden including an English Oak and an Umbrella tree.

Constructed from 1916
• This place has aesthetic value as a well-executed late and intact example of the Federation Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the early 20th century. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the 1910s.
A single storey timber framed dwelling with weatherboard cladding and hipped iron roof. The roof extends down to form the verandah canopy across the front and side elevations, which is supported on square timber columns. Elevations contain timber framed casement openings, where each window is divided into three panes by horizontal glazing panes. Property contains a separate garage of contemporary design, paved driveway and well planted garden which are all enclosed by a timber picket fence
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 when developer, Wesley Maley purchased a large parcel of land bordering the river. The names of roads in this subdivision known as ‘Riverside’, reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property, Moojebing. Maley purchased a flock of rams from South Australian politician, J.H. Angus. Several of the rams were named in honour of Australian prime ministers and consequently the names Watson, Deakin, Barton, Fisher and Reid were applied to the roads in this subdivision. This residence was one of the first to be built in the section of the road between Watson and Deakin Streets. From the available information it appears that this house was built c1916 for James Sunley (1859-1925) a British born migrant who worked as a labourer and his wife Betsy Sunley (1858-1935). This home appears to have been designated as 5 Barton Parade for many years. James Sunley died in 1925 and Betsy Sunley lived at the house until her death in 1935. The property was then occupied by George Walter Dryer and his wife Hannah, the daughter of James and Betsy Sunley. Later occupants between 1939 and 1949 were Harold and Barbara Todd. Aerial photographs indicate that the residence has been extended toward the rear of the property.

Constructed from 1975, Constructed from 1958
• The place has aesthetic value as an example of post war style with elements that are consistent with domestic scale and form rather than a public building. • The place has historic value for its association with the ongoing commitment to the provision of public amenities at the BIC reserve by the Bassendean Road Board, subsequently the Town of Bassendean. • The place has social value for many members of the Bassendean and wider community who have used the facility on the reserve since 1958.
A single storey weatherboard clad building with terracotta roof tiles. Situated slightly off centre on the façade is the front entrance. On the west side of front entrance is a timber framed window. On the east side of front entrance is a timber framed double pane window, a set of double doors and then another set of timber framed double paned windows. All openings on the façade are covered by security grilles. Underneath each of the timber sills of the windows on the east side of front entrance are timber slat benches. The roof of the building is hipped with the central ridge running east to west and is clad in terracotta tiles. Connected to the south roof plane is a separate hipped roof which forms the verandah across the façade and is supported by timber posts.
This building is located within the BIC (Bassendean Improvement Committee) Reserve, established c1935 through the lobbying, fundraising and labour of members of the Bassendean community. The reserve was aimed to provide a sporting and recreational venue for the Bassendean community. Since that time the activities on the Reserve have changed as popularity and funding for specific sports has ebbed and flowed. Recently [2015] much of the reserve has been allocated for the relocated War Memorial. Buildings on the reserve have been erected, relocated and demolished as needs have changed. This building which is currently [2015] used by the Bassendean Tennis Club was built in 1958 for use by the Bassendean Croquet Club. At that time the building was located in the northern portion of the BIC reserve. It was relocated c1975 when Guildford Road was widened. From c1975 to 2006, the building was used by the Croquet Club however with the demolition of the Bassendean Tennis Club clubrooms in June 2009; this building was allocated to the Tennis Club. In late 2006, a smaller demountable building was constructed to the south of this building which is used as an adjunct to the Tennis Club facilities. The Bassendean Croquet Club ceased operating from the BIC Reserve c2007.

Constructed from 1913
• The place has historic value for its association with the development of Bassendean in the early decades of the 20th century and the provision of facilities to the growing community. • The place has aesthetic value as a well maintained informal landscape in the suburban environment. • The place has social value to the many members of the community who have visited the park for formal and informal occasions.
Open parkland containing dense tree planting which includes native and exotic species. Located on the edge of the Swan River the park incorporates a boat jetty and children’s play area. Bindaring Park is located across Bassendean Parade and includes a small lake and wetland.
This reserve was originally designated as several residential lots in the subdivision offered c1905 by developer, Wesley Maley. The subdivision was known as ‘Riverside’, and many of the road names reflected Wesley Maley’s enthusiasm for the prize rams he purchased for his Katanning pastoral property, Moojebing. Some lots were taken up but there was not the rapid sale of lots such that in 1914 the subdivision was again promoted in the local press. The advertising at this time notes that 'a large river frontage block has been donated to the Roads Board as a Public Recreation Ground'. The term donation is misleading as a report in the local press from December 1913 notes that the Bassendean Road Board had recently purchased the new riverside recreation reserve. On 13th December a 'Gala Day' for the children of the district was held at the reserve which was formally opened by Premier Scadden. Premier Scadden congratulated the Road Board on securing the reserve of over five acres for £150 even if the purchase was 'regarded merely as speculation'. After the opening the Premier, the Minister for Works and the Chairman of the Roads Board planted some ornamental trees. The afternoon included performances by the YMCA band, demonstration of West Guildford Fire Brigade, exhibition of life saving by the YMCA, afternoon teas and trips on a motor launch. The main focus of the day was the children's entertainment and competitions for which prizes were awarded. In 1922, the area was formally gazetted as a reserve and named in honour of John Pickering who was a member of the West Guildford Road Board and the subsequent Bassendean Road Board achieving the role of Chairman in 1913-1914 and 1921-1923. He was also involved in the purchase of the reserve and a key organisation of the Gala Day at the reserve in 1913. Since 1913, the reserve has been predominantly used as a passive recreation space with little formal intervention by the Town of Bassendean apart from maintaining the grassed landscape. Pathways have been added in the later decades of the 20th century. The Bassendean Sea Scouts boat house was located on the eastern end of the river frontage in the 1970s and 1980s. The reserve continues to be vested in the Town of Bassendean and in 2013 the Town organised a celebration to mark the 100 years since the acquisition of the reserve by the Town.

Constructed from 1937
• This place has some aesthetic value for its demonstration of the basic form and some elements of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the Inter War period. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the 1930s.
A single storey timber framed and weatherboard clad house with a CGI clad hipped roof. The south, streetfacing elevation contains a gabled protruding section on the west side of the south elevation. The protruding section contains a timber framed window with modern security grills added. The recessed section contains the front entrance and a timber framed, lead-lighted window (to the east side south elevation). Trees obscure the both east and west windows and therefor their construction cannot clearly be determined. A separate flat-roof garage has been added to the east side of the house. A separate bull-nose verandah canopy extends across the entire south elevation (incorporating protruding and recessed sections and the garage addition). The verandah is supported by plain timber pillars and the verandah floor is constructed from timber.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs who gave his name to this street. This residence was constructed for Norman Goold in 1937 for a fee of £450. Norman and his wife Alma Esther nee Bennet, lived at the house until the early 1950s. Norman's occupation was designated as a Labourer and later a carpenter in the Electoral Rolls however he may have been involved in the construction of the house as his family were in the building profession. His mother and father lived at the nearby property at 5 Briggs Street. Information from aerial photographs indicates that there have been several programs undertaken at the residence most significantly the extension of the front verandah and additions to the north and rear of the original building.

Constructed from 1928
• This place has some aesthetic value for its demonstration of the basic form and elements of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the Inter War period. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the inter war period.
A single storey brick and render house with a hipped CGI clad roof. South façade contains a (possibly new) brick constructed projecting section to the west side of façade, which contains a metal framed sliding window. The recessed section of façade is fully rendered and contains a centrally placed front entrance which is flanked by three-section timber framed casement windows. The entrance door is timber panelled with lead lights and has lead-lighted side lights. The hipped roof over the main section of house breaks the roof pitch to form the verandah canopy which is supported by brick pillars. On the east side of the house is a brick constructed chimney.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs who gave his name to this street. From the available information this residence was the first on this side of the street built in 1928 for Leonard Harry Harrisson (1886-1932). Leonard Harrisson was born in Middlesex England and married Kate Merritt in 1912. The couple immigrated to Australia shortly after and in 1915 Leonard joined the AIF to serve during World War One. On his return in 1917 to civilian life he worked in a variety of professions. The couple had four children which they raised at this residence. Leonard died in 1932, aged 46, and Kate stayed on in the house until her death in 1965, aged 78. Aerial photographs indicate that the house was originally roofed in red Colorbond and this was replaced c1990.

A projecting gable section form the west part of façade incorporates timber detailing at the apex of the gable end. The upper section of the projecting section is rendered bricks and the lower section is tuckpointed brick. The south elevation of the projecting section contains a three-section timber framed casement window with a colorbond skillion awning with timber supports over the window. The hipped roof over the main section of house breaks the roof pitch slightly and extends to form the verandah canopy over the recessed section of façade where the front entrance is located.

This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs who gave his name to this street. From the available information this residence was constructed in 1934 for the owner and occupier Charles Ireland. Ireland occupied the property until the late 1940s. Little information has been found in the current research relating to Ireland although it is known that Edward Ernest Ireland was a successful cabinet maker in Bassendean and Charles Ireland may have been a relative. Information from aerial photographs indicates that the roof was green corrugated iron in the 1980s which was changed to its current red in the 1990s. The original envelope of the building has been extended through extensions and additions while other structures have been built in the rear of the property.

Constructed from 1930
• This place has aesthetic value as a well executed and intact example of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the Inter War period. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the 1930s.
A single storey timber framed and weatherboard house of asymmetric plan for. A projecting gabled sections to the façade incorporates timber detailing to the apex and casement windows with leaded lights and a skillion awning supported on timber brackets. The main roof continues down to form the verandah canopy across the recessed section of the elevation which is supported on timber posts. The entrance is located at the abutment of the projecting wing and recessed section of the façade with casement windows adjacent characterised by diamond leaded lights and frosted glass highlights.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs who gave his name to this street.This residence was first occupied by Alexander Ernest Goold (c1906-1961) and his wife Vera Maud Goold (née McDonough) (c1908-1999) who married in 1928. Alexander was a carpenter therefore it is possible he was involved in the construction of this residence. Later occupants of this residence were also associated with the building industry. T. Hall, a builder was living there in 1933 and builder Brian Alfred Parlor, lived at the house in the late 1930s and 1940s while using the lot adjacent at 3 Briggs Street as a timber yard. Norm Goold also built a timber house at 12 Briggs Street in 1937. Aerial photographs suggest that the building envelope has changed minimally since construction albeit with some minor additions and new structures in the rear of the property.

Constructed from 1929
• This place has aesthetic value as a rare, large intact and well executed example of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style executed in concrete blocks. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of Bassendean in the Inter War period. • The place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of residence for a professional family in the Inter War period.
Single storey inter-war dwelling set in an elevated position. The dwelling is constructed of textured concrete blocks, from the 1930s and has a symmetrical façade with central sweeping steps to the verandah in line with the front entrance. Most of the façade is not visible due to dense mature vegetation. The roof is hipped with a steep pitch and clad in tiles. The roof extends beyond the façade to create the verandah which runs across the entire façade. A timbered gable is situated above the centrally located front entrance and is supported on the east and west corners by two Ionic columns. At the lower west corner of property a modern garage has been added.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development in c1912 although there were only approximately 15 houses in the street by 1920. The name, Broadway assigned to this road, was a logical response to its breadth and length. In 1928, Alex Martin (c1865-1953) applied to the Bassendean Road Board to build a cement block residence on this property. Approval was granted and construction presumably began the following year although the Post Office Directories only record Martin living at the place in 1933. The house was originally located on a larger lot which have been subdivided and built on from the 1970s. Aerial photographs indicate the building retains much of its original form and extent although a new carport and rear extension were constructed from the 1980s. The roof cladding appears to have been changed from red to the current grey in the late 1990s.

Constructed from 1936
• This place has some aesthetic value for its demonstration of the basic form and elements of the Inter War Californian Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of inter war housing.

This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development in c1912 although there were only approximately 15 houses in the street by 1920. The name, Broadway assigned to this road, was a logical response to its breadth and length. This residence was constructed c1935 and the first occupant and probably owners were Edward Joseph Regan (c1907-1991) and his wife Cecilia Rose nee Gregg (c1905-1949). The couple had married in 1928 and lived in the area before settling at the house in 1936 where they raised their three daughters. Cecilia Regan died in 1949 and Edward, who worked as a moulder lived on in the house until the 1980s. The original lot was subdivided and a residence was constructed on the portion of the lot facing Ida Street. The owners in 2004 stated that at that time only the front four rooms retained the original finishes.

Constructed from 1913
• This place has some aesthetic value for its demonstration of the basic form and elements of the Federation Bungalow style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the early twentieth century. • This place has social value as a demonstration of the form and scale of housing in the early 20th century.
A single storey brick and iron house with high hipped and vented gablet roof, with gabled feature above the entrance. There is an extensive verandah across the façade with the western corner of the verandah enclosed with brick and large window. The verandah is open, without a balustrade, with a timber deck. The verandah canopy is a continuation of the main hipped roof at the same pitch, supported on turned timber posts with timber frieze between the posts. There is a timbered gable above the entrance. Windows on the façade are all sash openings.
This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development in c1912 although there were only approximately 15 houses in the street by 1920. The name, Broadway assigned to this road, was a logical response to its breadth and length. This residence was one of the first in the street as it was built c1913 for John Gorn and his wife Matilda nee Kirk. In 1914, there were only four other residences on Broadway recorded in the Post Office Directories. John Gorn was a railway employee for all his working life. In the early 20th century he was a station master in several country towns, including Mundaring in 1912. By 1914, the Gorn's were living in Broadway, West Guildford as it was then known. The couple, who had married in 1902, had four sons and following John's death in 1931, Matilda lived on in the house until her death in 1940. The house was extended to the rear during the late 1980s or early 1990s and the 2004 owners noted that some of the internal wall arrangements had been altered.
