Statement of Significance

The building is associated with a Mr Scrimengour J.P. who lived there and probably built it. It is also a fine a example on an individual interwar style in almost original condition.

Physical Description

Substantial interwar house stradling two blocks facing a treed park. Built c.1920-25 high on Claremont Hill with rear views to the ocean. An eclectic mix of Georgian, and other revival styles. Terracotta roof tiles, tuckpointed brickwork, columned portico and an asymmetric gable roof with two projecting bay windows roofed with jerkin head gables make an individual statement. The upper of the sash windows are multi-paned decorative clear glass with inset rondels/cameos. Pebbledash is applied to the timbered eaves and above the three sided bay windows. Brick sills, plain chimney shaft and rendered string course are other decorative details. Louvred inserts fill the east/west gables. The eaves are slatted to allow circulation of breeze. West wall has had some subsidence but there appears to have been little or no renovation.

Statement of Significance

An excellent example of a "Federation Bungalow" sited in adequate grounds in a prominent position. It contributes very positively to the streetscape. One of very few in almost original state on the exterior. One of a handfull of special houses on Claremont Hill.

Physical Description

Dwelling has been demolished. Was an excellent example of a "Federation Bungalow" built in 1920. Spreading broken back roof of terracotta tiles has gablets and gables and ornate finials adding interest to this house which sits high on Claremont Hill on two corner blocks facing a park one way and a treed double carriageway the other. The rear has views to the ocean. Sloping English "Domestic Revival" chimneys are covered in pebbledash and capped by tapered pots. Louvres in the gablets allow for flow of air through the roof space. The casement windows have fixed upper sections filled with stained glass with a small floral pattern. The lower windows of clear glass have two small upper panes. An intact Edwardian front door has stained glass side lights and 'fanlight'. The wide shady verandahs have limestone piers supporting pairs of square fluted columns. A bay window projects into the east verandah. There are also south and west verandahs. Rendered window sills have scrolled stucco detailing below. Tuckpointed brick work with a rendered string course takes up the lower 2/3 of the wall. The upper third is covered with pebbledash. Ogee gutters on exposed beams. The gable to the south covered also in pebble dash though most is obscured by creepers. Inside the entrance and drawing room have art-nouveau timber frames. The drawing room ceiling is coffered in jarrah. Most doors still have pedimented architraves. Victorian ceiling roses everywhere and wall paper to the half-timbered entrance appear to be later additions. There have been modifications to the interior. At some stage it was two units and at another stage the house was owned by a doctor who made a 1940's-50s addition to the north side for a set of consulting rooms. This is screened by plantings and hardly obvious. A creeper covered carport to William Street is a 1960s addition.

History

Built 1919-20 for George Nelson Ellis. It was sold in 1922 to Alan F. Cleland. It was later two fiats, then owned by a doctor who built consulting rooms on the north side. The current owners Moullins bought the house in the 1970s and have made few modifications. They plan larger ones to take advantage of the view. They also object to heritage listing if it in anyway interferes with their plans.

Statement of Significance

The house was built by well known architect and builder Ron Oldham as his private residence. Oldham was the builder for many homes in the area and it is possible that the original section of 15 Parry was another of his buildings. It has a related cartwheel gable screen and similar chimneys. Ron Oldham was the brother of architect Charles Oldham.

Physical Description

1995 Comment: Historical and aesthetic significance. Home of architect-builder Ron Oldham. Edwardian "Queen Anne" bungalow of tuckpointed red brick in stretcher bond with vermiculated quoins of cream render to the corners of the building. Originally an asymmetric (L-shaped with additions) layout. Decorative detailing to window sills is in cream render. Floor to ceiling sash windows in the older section of the house. Corbelled chimney shafts are also partially rendered. Timber filigree to verandahs is simple, with square railing and decorative arched frieze between turned posts producing a series of bays. Extended bargeboards frame ornate turned cartwheel 'frets" used for the gable screen. The house, built in 1912 by Ron Oldham as his private residence, was substantially enlarged c. 1990 with the skillions at the rear being removed and the addition of a two-storey wing with three-storey tower. At this time the Marseilles tiles were replaced with red-painted corrugated iron. The green and cream paint scheme has been taken from an early photograph of the house. The extensive grounds (the house and grounds cover three lots) have been remodelled, removing the tennis court which originally stood to the north of the house. The gardens have been walled with recycled bricks inset in places with pickets. This replaces an older wooden fence. Reason for Inclusion 1. The place is of higher-order local cultural heritage significance, being classified as

History

Oldham bom 1867 married in 1894. After he arrived in Westem Australia he built the steeple of St John's Church, Fremantle where he was married. Oldham lived in Saladin Street, Swanboume before moving here. Oldham was Mayor of Fremantle or East Fremantle. His grandson R. Hatchett lives in 15 Saladin Street in Swanbourne and may have more details. The house is an example of the 1980s-90s recyling of older buildings to keep their charm but add additional rooms and conveniences in a manner sympathetic to the ambience of the district.
