History

HISTORICAL NOTES Woodside is a relatively cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed following the subdivision of W.D. Moore’s Estate commencing in 1912. Most of the lots were sold between 1912 and 1929 and the majority of buildings were completed in this time. Residences were substantial and of various Federation period styles distinguishing the area from the small worker’s cottages of Plympton. The Inter-War Bungalow style residence is also represented in Woodside. The Woodside Precinct remains largely intact in terms of original housing with little infill subdivision or replacement housing. OWNERS Unknown HISTORIC THEME Demographic Settlements - Residential Subdivision CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS Walls – Tuck pointed brick Roof – Tile PHYSICAL SETTING The residence is situated on a gently sloping site with a lych at the Canning Highway entry. A low brick wall with grille infill is located at the lot boundaries.

History

Historic Theme: Demographic Settlement In September 1883 Stephen Henry Parker and James Morrison of Perth commenced subdivision of 65 acres of land to the north of Canning Road. The subdivision occurred at Swan Locations 63, 176, 219 and the south western portion of Swan Location 306. The subdivision included Preston Point Road, Alcester Gardens, Wolsely Gardens, Victoria Road, Alexandra Road, Parry Avenue, and Salvado Avenue. The Richmond Precinct was owned by Walter Easton and was named after the town of Richmond where Easton lived in England. In 1901 Easton’s sons subdivided Windsor Estate. New streets to the subdivision of the Windsor Estate were named after various members of the Easton family; Walter, Gill, Stratford and Morgan (later Osborne Road). Initially lot sizes were generous but sold at a slow rate. The initial development of the Richmond Precinct occurred at Canning Highway and Preston Point Road. Substantial residences were developed on these streets giving precedence to the future development of Richmond. The distinct architecture of Canning Highway and Preston Point Road distinguish Richmond from the surrounding area. By 1913 there were approximately 40 residences in the area between Preston Point Road and Alexandra Road. Osborne Road, Windsor Road and Gill Street had several buildings apiece by 1913. By 1931 approximately half the lots were developed. In 1921 Richmond Primary School was developed between Windsor and Osborne Road and several Inter-War residences were developed in the immediate area. In the 1930s the Workers’ Homes’ Board developed a number of weatherboard, asbestos, brick and tiled residences. Inter-War style front porches were preferred over Federation style full width verandahs. Redevelopments have occurred throughout the Richmond Precinct. Large lot sizes have allowed Richmond to be subject to the redevelopment of group and multiple housing. However, significant clusters of heritage dwellings remain throughout.

Statement of Significance

Aesthetic, Historical, Representative & Rarity Aldgate, a substantial single-storey, limestone and brick Federation Queen Anne style residence, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • It is a fine example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture common in Perth's suburbs during the 1890s and 1900s; • It is enhanced by its formal approach, the building's close relationship to the paved terrace and orchestrated views west to the harbour and north-west to the Swan River, the place represents the scale and style of residences built on large, river facing lots in East Fremantle during the gold boom period; and • The place has scientific value for the extent and rarity in Western Australia of the original interior decorative treatments and the resource it provides for further study. The five additional houses and associated landscape have low significance. The additions and outbuildings have low significance. AESTHETIC SIGNIFICANCE: Aldgate has exceptional aesthetic value as a fine example of the Federation Queen Anne style. The place is enhanced by hand-painted ceiling murals, friezes and stencils to the interior of the residence. It retains almost all of the characteristic features of a dwelling of the type and period. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Aldgate has exceptional historic value. It is a reminder of a period when elevated locations on Preston Point Road and the immediate surroundings were desirable residential locations for the more affluent. Aldgate had a close association, for a comparatively short period, with Paul Strelitz. Paul's brother Richard established a trading company and was influential in international trade, diplomacy and local politics in Perth and Fremantle. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: The place has scientific value. The original interior decorative treatments are extensive and rare in Western Australia. The place is a resource that provides for further study. SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE: Aldgate has exceptional social value.

New streets to the subdivision of the Windsor Estate were named after various members of the Easton family; Walter, Gill, Stratford and Morgan (later Osborne Road). Initially lot sizes were generous but sold at a slow rate. The initial development of the Richmond Precinct occurred at Canning Highway and Preston Point Road. Substantial residences were developed on these streets giving precedence to the future development of Richmond. The distinct architecture of Canning Highway and Preston Point Road distinguish Richmond from the surrounding area. By 1913 there were approximately 40 residences in the area between Preston Point Road and Alexandra Road. Osborne Road, Windsor Road and Gill Street had several buildings apiece by 1913. By 1931 approximately half the lots were developed. In 1921 Richmond Primary School was developed between Windsor and Osborne Road and several Inter-War residences were developed in the immediate area. In the 1930s the Workers’ Homes’ Board developed a number of weatherboard, asbestos, brick and tiled residences. Inter-War style front porches were preferred over Federation style full width verandahs. Redevelopments have occurred throughout the Richmond Precinct. Large lot sizes have allowed Richmond to be subject to the redevelopment of group and multiple housing. However, significant clusters of heritage dwellings remain throughout.
