Statement of Significance

This very individual expression of interwar Mediterranean architecture was designed and built by the architect Thorald Travers "Peter" Lewis as his own home. This is a particularly special piece of Cottesloe ° architecture. This street contains a whole series of houses of heritage value. This is the jewel.

Physical Description

An attractive and very individual Mediterranean styled two storey home situated on a sloping block built between 1938-9 and 1947-50. The exterior was constructed of poured concrete and terracotta tiles. The interior walls according to Molyneux are vermiculite blocks but the McDiven's who watched it being built state they are formed of concrete causing problems with the wiring. The spacious sierra ambience has been diminished by the addition of a low front wall planned by Lewis and increasingly necessary to divert pedestrians using the garden as a thoroughfare. Lewis' practice with the PWD primarily comprised designing country railway stations. 1995 Comment: "Peter" TT Lewis House architect/owner. Very strong and individual Mediterranean architecture.

Work on the house was suspended during the war as Lewis served overseas and was a prisoner-of-war in Changi Gaol. It was not completed when he died but John McDiven son of the Lewis's close friends Tedye and Bryant is using his original plans to complete his concept. According to Molyneux it is a minor gem which contains thoroughly consistent Art Deco interiors. The McDiven family close friends of the Lewis's state that this is incorrect as he often used whatever was to hand during times of economic or war caused shortages. Further infonnation can be obtained from Tedye McDiven who lives in York and . holds power of Attorney for Mrs Lewis.

The wide gable which sweeps across the whole of the upper storey encompasses sets of casement windows and central french doors which open onto the suspended porch perched above a skillion roof which covers the lower verandah. The now cement-tiled roof is gabled with a small gable protecting the upper storey porch/balcony. The gable to the porch is filled with timber and pressed metal in a dressed stone pattern. The verandah posts are turned. The frieze is just a slightly curved board rising to a central point in each arch. This is repeated in the porch and under it. Wrought iron balustrading is of later date. Painted brick extends up to the lower level of the eaves when it becomes pebble dash. The house is below street level. A cement path curves down to the lower level rising through steps to the verandah which is floored in cement. A front section of the verandah has been enclosed to form another room.
