Duplex, 6A & 6B Hill Terrace, Mosman Park

Values

 The place demonstrates the development of Mosman Park as the site for substantial, architect-designed residences taking advantage of riverside views.
 The place is an example of the post-1945 development of grouped housing within residential areas.
 The place demonstrates elements of Inter-War Spanish Mission and Inter-War Mediterranean architectural style, as well as decorative elements of traditional classical architecture.
 The place is one of the last buildings designed by celebrated Western Australian architect Marshall Clifton, who pioneered the use of Mediterranean styles in the 1930s and 1940s.

Physical Description

Duplex, 6A & 6B Hill Terrace, Mosman Park is an asymmetric conjoined residence centrally situated on a large north-south block that slopes east towards the Swan River at the bottom of the hill. The duplex faces east towards the river, however the street entrance is north to Hill Terrace, with a secondary rear entrance to Hawley Lane to the south. The view from Hill Terrace does not allow a view of the specific duplex arrangement, however it appears that 6A is a two storey residence with a balcony, facing east onto a small open courtyard. 6B, connected to Hill Street via a small footpath with garage entrance from Hawley lane, similarly appears to be a two storey residence, however the bulk of this residence is in the north-south oriented ground floor level. The walls of the building are brick, pinkish-red in colour, laid in stretcher bond and with noticeably rounded projecting edges. The foundations of the building are not apparent, however limestone is used over brick in the walls of 6A’s sunken garage off Hill Terrace. The windows of the duplex facing Hill Terrace are double-hung timber sash windows previously with timber window shutters, now removed. The other visible windows are modern aluminium sliding frames. The roof of the duplex is hipped, and clad in Marseilles tile, with a single gable at the intersection between the duplexes. A small brick chimney with brick corbelling is apparent from Hill Terrace.

History

The Noongar groups living in and around the greater Perth area for tens of thousands of years were collectively known as the Whadjuk, while the families living in the area of Mosman Park were known as the extended family of Yellagonga. This way of life began to be disrupted in 1829 with the establishment of a British settlement at the Swan River. When settled by the British in 1833, the Mosman Park area was originally known as ‘Buckland Downs,’ which was divided into a number of land grants for small scale farming. Early access to Perth was via ferry services and a dirt track through what is now Peppermint Grove, but the introduction of convicts in the 1850s saw the development of the convict-built Perth-Fremantle Road. By 1881, this was augmented with the establishment of the Perth-Fremantle railway, which accelerated the pattern of development in the district. These demographic and infrastructure changes were eventually felt at Swan Locations 82 and 83, which in the late nineteenth century had been a small farming bock owned by the Samson family. ‘Samson’s Paddock’ was vacant save a stone caretaker’s cottage, which in 1917 was inhabited by the Norrish family. However in 1920 the locations were subdivided for sale and re-named ‘Samson’s Estate’. A total of 60 lots were created, land prices ranging from £200 to £300 depending on proximity to the river or Bay View Terrace. The land was advertised as having access to a water supply, electricity, telephone and macadamised roads. The lots in Samson’s Estate became home to particularly expensive residences; the values of homes constructed in this area quoted as part of published building permits between 1920-1935 were often twice as expensive (or more) than other suburbs, even throughout the inter-war period.

History

Housing shortages in the period after World War I, further exacerbated by the Depression, had only increased with the cessation of most building works during World War II. Plans to address post-war housing shortages began in 1943 and the State Housing Act 1946 established the State Housing Commission. The immediate post-WWII period saw the inception of the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement under which 71% of homes built by the State Housing Commission were constructed between 1944 and 1949. The early period of the scheme is likely to have been administered in part by the Workers’ Homes Board which became the State Housing Commission following the war with the creation of the State Housing Act 1946. The scheme, funded by the Commonwealth, provided rental properties which remained in the ownership on the government. The first homes constructed under this scheme in 1944, most of which used SHC drawn standard plans, were located in Collie and Boyup Brook, with homes in the metropolitan area following shortly after in Joondanna, Claremont/Graylands, South Perth and Bassendean in 1944-1945. In 1946, Mosman Park was the site of a camp for families waiting for homes to be made available, and attempts were made to meet the need with converted army huts. By the end of 1946, 58 houses had been completed at Mosman Park, including House, 24 Jimbell Street, Mosman Park. The same year it was noted that the Commission intended that Mosman Park, along with North Perth, comprise one of the largest quotas of houses in the metropolitan area. By 1950, over 180 homes had been built in the suburb.

Statement of Significance

St Luke's is a beautiful and well kept example of church architecture with a century of continual use. With Alexandra Hall and the Rectory, it forms a small, Anglican precinct. The Church has been a social place in which generations of Mosman Park residents have regularly met and a spiritual place in which the important ceremonies of life have been conducted.

Physical Description

St Luke's Church has a traditional cruciform plan with limestone walls and a Marseilles clay tile roof. The lancet windows are not original, the original windows were too small and were replaced. The roof is supported by timber timber trusses with metal tie rods. The raking ceiling over the truss is of timber boarding. Around the walls are small ventilation boxes. There is a large rose window of stained glass leadlight high on the western end of the nave. Modern stained glass windows are behind the altar and on the south wall of the transept. The porch on the western end, stonework, lancet windows and doors, was added in 1956. The transepts and sanctuary are panelled with jarrah. There are jarrah choir stalls, pulpit and other church furniture. A jarrah font, carved by HB Howell was presented to the Church in 1899. The pipe organ, probably built in 1880, is considered to be the best example in Western Australia of the work of Hill, the 19th C organ builder. It was installed in St Luke's in 1924. This building is one of a group which includes the Old Rectory and Alexandra Hall. St Luke's is set in well maintained, landscaped gardens with brick paving and limestone retaining walls. Close to the north is Alexandra Hall, across an empty lot, to the south west, is the Rectory.

1904 additions of transepts and sanctuary to the eastern end of the nave were designed by J Talbot Hobbs. 1956 front porch and entrance to west and additions to vestry.
