Statement of Significance

Is part of a small Anglican precinct with a century of local history. Although there have been extensions to the rear, the Rectory appears to have retained its original front appearance. The large garden contributes a sense of space in an area where most house blocks are quite small.

Physical Description

Is a large house with stone walls and a metal roof. The chimneys are decorated with elaborate corbelling in face brickwork. The gables on the east and west elevations have a distinctive pattern of battens with stucco infill. A verandah with original posts and brackets flanks the front section of the house. The present railing on the west side was not part of the original building. The entrance is from the eastern side of the verandah through the original front door. From a spacious entrance hall open three rooms and a passage leading to the back of the house. There are three rooms off the passage. The windows to the east and west are double hung with upper sashes divided into nine planes. On the south side two sets of French doors open out onto the verandah. Most of the rooms have ceiling roses, cornices and fireplaces, including one marble fireplace with a tiled hearth. The doors are all original with locks and keys. The back verandah has been closed in with weatherboard additions and the original stairway to the cellar and laundry has been relocated to the outside of the verandah. There are two back doors on to the verandah, one from the passage and one from the kitchen. The kitchen has been modernised but the original archway from the wood stove remains. A small room is accessed from the verandah and is above the cellar and laundry. This building is one of a group which includes St Luke's and Alexandra Hall. The rectory is set in a large, informal garden with mature eucalypts.

Integrity/Authenticity

Railing of west side of verandah. Weatherboard enclosure of back verandah. Relocation of back stairway. Kitchen modernised. Roof replaced. Two fireplaces covered over.

Statement of Significance

The Swan Canning Riverpark covers 72.1 square kilometres of river reserve and adjoining public lands. The Swan Canning Riverpark supports a diverse array of plant and animal life, some endemic to the region. The Swan and Canning rivers, which stretch and snake their way for 280 kilometres from Wickepin to the deep blue of the Indian Ocean in Fremantle, represent an important slice of West Australian history, as well as holding significant cultural values for Perth, serving as an important feature of the city’s landscape.

Physical Description

The Swan River runs through the Perth metropolitan area from its mouth at Fremantle to Walyunga National Park in the northeast. The Canning River, diverting from the Swan at Canning Bridge, continues to Araluen in the southeast.

History

The Indigenous population of Western Australia, in the metropolitan area comprising the Noongar language group, utilised the resources of the Swan River for thousands of years prior to European settlement. Although the resources it contained were integral to this focus, the rivers were also significant components in Noongar spiritual and ceremonial life. This focus, and the spiritual links, continues to the present day. Although explored by the French and Dutch during the seventeenth, and early nineteenth centuries, the first British expedition to explore this part of Western Australia did not take place until 1827. Captain James Stirling arrived on the western side of the continent in the H.M.S Success in March and his reports of the region were favourable. The Canning River was also explored during this expedition with Stirling naming it after George Canning, a British Statesman and Prime Minister of Great Britain. Stirling’s favourable reports encouraged the establishment of the Swan River Colony in February 1829. European settlement initially centred around the mouth of the Swan at Fremantle and spread out towards Perth and Guildford. Long thin ribbon grants were allotted to early settlers in the Swan District to give them equal river frontage but poor soils and a noxious weed resulted in movement further east into the Swan Valley. With the introduction of convicts to the Swan River Colony in the 1850s infrastructure building and the availability of a labour force allowed the river valleys to be fully exploited for agriculture. With the commencement of Western Australia’s gold rush in the 1890s the population increased, as did the settlement focus on the Swan and Canning Rivers. This continued throughout the early twentieth century with the majority of the population living in and around the river park and along the coastal areas of the State. The intensive infrastructure building seen during this period saw the construction of a safe harbour at the mouth of the Swan in Fremantle and, during the early twentieth century, large sections of the river along the Perth foreshore were subject to reclamation. The Swan and Canning Rivers have, from the earliest period of settlement, been a focus of Western Australian life. This continues to the present and will continue far into the foreseeable future.
