Statement of Significance

The Daglish Conservation Area is bounded by Stubbs Terrace, Robinson Terrace and Troy Terrace, Millington Avenue and Cunningham Terrace. It is significant for : associations with the development of the Fremantle to Guildford railway opened in 1881; the subdivision of the area based on Garden Suburb principles; residential development in the area in the 1930s by the Workers' Homes Board; highly intact streets featuring good examples of houses from the Inter-War period set in mature gardens; significant streetscapes featuring mature trees.

Physical Description

The Daglish Conservation Area is located within the area identified in City of Subiaco Town Planning Scheme as the Daglish Precinct. The area is bounded by Stubbs Terrace, Robinson Terrace and Troy Terrace, Millington Avenue and Cunningham Terrace. The area was originally planned as a garden suburb with a street pattern including crescents and areas of public open space. Within this road layout, lot subdivision is of a regular rectangular pattern, however, and all the streets are residential in character. The area generally comprises wide residential roads with grass verges and concrete slab pavements. There is regular planting of mature street trees of various species which contribute to the quality of the streetscapes. Houses are generally set back equally from the street but with a generous area for front gardens. There is a general absence of front fences. The area contains a very high concentration of original houses from the period of development. Generally they are single storey brick or rendered brick and tile and demonstrate the various residential styles popular at the period, including Inter-War Californian Bungalow, Old English, Mediterranean and Spanish Mission, Functionalist and Art-Deco. Houses were generally designed with space for a single garage at the side and a single car width driveway. The area features attractive mature gardens including planting styles typical of the inter-war period. SEE ALSO SEPARATE ENTRIES FOR PLACES WITHIN THIS CONSERVATION AREA

History

This heritage precinct is based on early land development, and is represented by uniform housing designs and streetscapes. The first real estate land release (Battye Map Collection 101C 23) was in 1925, bounded by Cunningham, Millington, Troy, Robinson and Stubbs. The Daglish railway platform was opened in 1924, named after the former Mayor, MLA (1901-1911) and Premier (1904-05). The Council acquired the railway reserve west of the station in 1925 for a new suburb, also called Daglish. The boundary of the first land release was Stubbs Terrace, Cunningham Terrace, Millington Avenue, Troy Terrace and Robinson Terrace. The first streets to be developed c1930-1935 were those closest to the station - Stubbs Terrace, followed by Munsie, McCallum, Lutey, Wilcock and Richardson. Troy, Robinson and Cunningham Streets were developed c1935-1945. Most blocks were bought by young couples keen to establish a first home, and many men were railway workers attracted by the convenience of transport to the Midland workshops. The 'garden suburb' of Daglish was a more expensive area then West Subiaco (now Shenton Park), due to the large blocks, and proximity to the railway line, central shopping area and KEMH. All the houses were built of brick, and the larger homes and extensive gardens made Daglish an exclusive and private area to live in. In the 1930s the Workers Home Board extended the original Daglish subdivision and established workers' homes.

Statement of Significance

The place has aesthetic and historic significance as a parkland reserve in Subiaco, and has social significance to the community as a place for social and recreational activities.

Physical Description

Large park contains playground area, picnic seats and is bounded by low pine barriers.

History

The park was originally known as Daglish Compensating Basin Reserve, controlled by Metropolitan Water Supply. Council received permission to develop it as parkland in 1969. In 1970, plantings and paths were laid, and it became known as Dalgish Park by locals. In 1980, the park was named in honour of Cliff Sadlier, First World War hero, and Subiaco's only known recipient of the Victoria Cross. (Ref: Spillman, Ken, Identity Prized: A History of Subiaco, City of Subiaco, UWA Press, 1985, p. 315.)

Statement of Significance

The place has aesthetic significance as a representative example of the architectural style typical of the area and period. It has historic significance reflecting the development and settlement of the area.

History

Cunningham Terrace, which originally extended between Millington Avenue and Stubbs Terrace, was first identified in the Western Australian Post Office Directory in 1928. However, this part of Daglish was set aside for use by the Workers’ Homes Board and was not released for development until c.1933. The first residents were listed in the Post Office Directory in 1934, by which time 3 houses had been built. This increased to 4 in 1935 and 8 in 1940 (being #s 2, 4, 6, 8, 18, 12, 14 and 16). The later (c.1940) subdivision at the south-western end of the suburb included new lots along the western side of Cunningham Terrace (south of Luth Avenue). By 1942 houses had been built at #s 1, 3, 5 & 7 and by 1949, #s 1 to 19 had been completed and occupied. Residential development continued in the immediate post-war years and in 1949, the Post Office Directory listed 18 houses (including # 1 Cunningham Terrace, which may have been the site now known as 181 Stubbs Terrace).

Statement of Significance

Daglish Tennis Club and the associated Reserve 20246, is of cultural heritage significance: • The overall park design demonstrates the characteristics of the garden suburb principles of small areas of green parkland within a residential development. • The park including the recent play equipment and large trees is valued by the local community for its provision of play space in the community. • The Daglish Tennis Club is a good example of a small tennis club in a residential setting serving the local community. • The place is valued by the club members and the wider community for its provision of services and facilities since 1930 and as location of many community gatherings. • The cork tree is an unusual example of the species in the metropolitan area.

Physical Description

Reserve 20246 which contains the Daglish Tennis Club is located within the residential area of Daglish. The reserve is roughly triangular and is bound on two sides by tarmac lanes which provide rear access to the residences facing Troy Street and Stubbs Terrace. The third side of the triangle is Hickey Avenue, a leafy suburban street of predominantly single storey residences. The verge alongside Hickey Avenue is grassed The park is roughly framed by trees on the perimeter. Several of the trees are large Eucalypts although other species are present, notably the Cork Oak Tree Quercus Suber on the western boundary. The boundary of the park is further defined by regularly placed treated pine logs. The overall site is gently sloped down from Hickey Avenue however the establishment of the three tennis courts has created areas of cut and fill on either side of the courts. The three grass courts are fenced with metal mesh fence of over 3 meters high. On the northern boundary of the site adjacent to the courts are the clubrooms, a simple single storey red brick building with a pitched roof clad in zincalume. The park is predominantly grassed with some areas of play equipment located within areas of soft fall ground treatment.

History

Planning for the future suburb of Daglish began in the early 1920s with the Daglish railway platform opening in 1924, named after Subiaco resident, Henry Daglish (1866-1920) former Mayor of Subiaco, MLA (1901-1911) and Premier (1904-05). The first land released for residential sale was in 1925 and comprised the strip of land alongside the railway line. The design of the new subdivision followed the principals of the ‘Garden City Movement’ initiated in the late 19th century in the United Kingdom which found expression in Perth predominantly in the Inter War years. This philosophy of urban planning intended to create, self-contained communities surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. In metropolitan Perth, the garden suburb commonly featured larger blocks within straight and curvilinear streets interspersed with community green spaces. A significant element of the garden suburb ethos was the provision of parks and gardens and the reserve at Hickey Avenue can be seen to be part of the original 1925 design. When describing this period of Daglish's history, Spillman writes: There was an air of optimism amongst these Daglish pioneers, a conviction that together they were building a friendly community, an ideal suburb for the raising of children, and a comfortable place in which to grow old. Lot 45 on Hickey Avenue was selected by the Subiaco Road Board for the site of a recreation reserve which was formally gazetted on 27th September 1929. It was allocated for use by the newly formed Tennis Club in 1930 in response to a request from a small number of rate payers in Daglish. The club was formally opened on 21st March 1931 by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr G. H. Olney who stated ‘it gave him great pleasure to have the privilege of opening the courts of a district popularly regarded as one of the model suburbs of the metropolitan area’. The first club President was Hilton Ennis, a local builder who constructed with the help of volunteer labour, a small timber club house.

Statement of Significance

Daglish Railway Station and Subway, comprising the brick and tile Daglish Railway Station Building, subway and platform (1924), ornamental gardens and adjacent railway reserve, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: It was the stimulus for the development of the suburb of Daglish; It has rarity value as the only station built in the 1920s for the Fremantle to Midland line, and remains considerably intact; It contributes to the streetscape, the community’s sense of place, and has strong landmark qualities as a centrally located station, subway and nearby railway crossing that connects Daglish to its founding suburb of Subiaco and is most well known for the ornamental gardens, impressive in times past, and the station name spelt out as a hedge, unique to this station since the 1930s; It demonstrates the operations of a railway station in the 1920s. It was built in the days of steam trains and has altered over time to accommodate the changes in rail travel to diesel and subsequently electric rail; It is a late example of a simple utilitarian building with characteristics of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture; and, It was named after Henry Daglish, Subiaco Councillor, Mayor and the first Labor Premier of Western Australia. The car parks, communications equipment and associated structures are of little heritage significance.

Physical Description

Site Description Daglish Railway Station and Subway is located on the Perth – Fremantle rail line and is bounded by Stubbs Terrace on the North-West and Railway Road on the South-East. The Station was built between the Subiaco and West Subiaco (Shenton Park) stations. Daglish Railway Station and Subway comprises the single storey brick and tile Daglish Railway Station Building, subway and platform (1924), ornamental gardens and adjacent railway reserve. The Station building itself is two small single storey red face brick buildings joined by a terracotta tiled roof. The station building sits atop the railway platform. The hedge that spells ‘DAGLISH’ has been in existence sporadically since the 1930s, and Daglish has in the past been well known for this hedge and its ornamental gardens. Latrines (1924) and a bike shed (1946) have been removed from the platform, and a timber footbridge (1936) to the east of the station was demolished c1975 in favour of a level crossing. Apart from bricking in of the windows and a doorway, and the stripping of the interior, the Daglish Station building, platform and the subway remained as constructed in 1924. Architectural Style Although constructed in the Inter-War period, the Daglish Railway Station is a small single storey brick building displaying elements of a suburban Federation Bungalow style of building with its red brick, large tiled roof planes and wide verandahs. Plan Form The plan form of the station buildings is very simple with two separate small buildings under one roof creating a covered seating area between. Rectangular in overall plan form the building(s) run parallel to the rail lines. The former ticket office is located to the south west end and comprises 3 rooms and the former ladies waiting room is located to the north east end and comprises two rooms. Platform The platform is an island platform with a bitumen surface and concrete edges. A small extension of bitumen surfacing of the platform was carried out in 1938. Station Building - External The sub floor structure is understood to be timber stumps and joists. The ground levels surrounding the building have risen considerably over time. The walls are load bearing painted face brick laid in a stretcher bond with rounded bricks to the corners of the building and window recesses. Originally the walls had a rendered plinth to the base. This has since been covered over around the former Ladies Waiting Room but is still evident around the former Ticket Office. The roof is a medium pitched timber framed hipped truss roof with a half gable to each end. The half gables have timber louvers. The roof is clad with terracotta tiles. There is a wide verandah to all sides of the building under the continuous terracotta tiled main roof, supported by timber brackets attached to the external walls. The roof has colonial gutters and round metal downpipes. All windows have been removed and bricked in leaving a readable recess to the external elevations. All rendered window sills and heads have been retained. Internal - Former Ticket Office The former ticket office is now utilised as a signal control room containing the electronic equipment for the controls of the Daglish and surrounding stations. Generally the internal elements of these rooms have undergone change but are in a good condition. Internal - Former Ladies Waiting Room The former ladies Waiting Room is utilised as a staff room and toilet. Generally the internal elements of these rooms retain more original detail but are in a fair condition. The original skirtings, cornices and doors remain. There is evidence of former termite damage to some timber elements that should be further investigated and repaired.

History

Daglish Railway Station and Subway was built in between the Subiaco and West Subiaco (Shenton Park) stations to serve the growing population of Subiaco. It was named after Henry Daglish, Subiaco Councillor, Mayor and first Labor Premier of Western Australia. After the station and subway were built in 1924 the suburb of Daglish was subdivided from the railway reserve and lots were put up for sale at auction in 1925. Parts of the new subdivision were set aside for Workers House Board housing, which gave a different feel and streetscape to Daglish, with its brick and tile houses on larger lots, as opposed to the timber workers cottages on narrow lots in most areas of Subiaco and Shenton Park. As with most suburban railway stations at the time, Daglish Railway Station served as a ticketing and parcels office until WAGR changed their freight practices in the late 1960s. The station was unattended by WAGR staff after January 1970. The station was closed between 1979 and 1983 when the Fremantle-Perth line was decommissioned. The hedge that spells ‘DAGLISH’ has been in existence sporadically since the 1930s, and Daglish has in the past been well known for this hedge and its ornamental gardens. Latrines (1924) and a bike shed (1946) have been removed from the platform, and a timber footbridge (1936) to the east of the station was demolished c1975 in favour of a level crossing. Apart from bricking in of the windows and a doorway, and the stripping of the interior, the Daglish Station building, platform and the subway remained as constructed in 1924. Aside from regular maintenance to roof guttering and plumbing, the only recorded change to the fabric of the station building itself between 1938 and 1975 was that in September 1968, at the request of Station Master A E Gear, the top portion of the booking office window was blanked off to minimise drafts. Daglish station received its own ‘Park-N-Train’ car parking facilities, with the Stubbs Terrace side built in 1966-67 and the Railway Road improvements made in 1969. On 5 October 1970 Perth Goods Depot was officially closed which meant a change in the way WAGR handled freight and therefore Daglish, along with the rest of the suburban stations, no longer needed a Station Master or a parcel’s office. The station closed its doors on 31 January 1970 and was no longer attended by WAGR staff. At this time the windows and parcel room door were removed and bricked in to make the disused building secure. The footbridge which was constructed in 1936, was removed c1975 in favour of a level crossing. The Fremantle Rail Line was decommissioned on 1 September 1979 with the resumption of the service on 29 July 1983. During this time many of the stations fell into disrepair. In 1985, the Government announced its intention to electrify the entire suburban railway system with electric rail cars commenced operation in 1991. In 2007 PTA introduced the Smart Rider system, the first public transport authority in Australia to use the technology. Station platforms throughout the metropolitan area, including Daglish, were fitted with columns for Smart Rider detection, cameras, PA speakers and associated communications services. The following year, the station benefited from lighting and power systems upgrade. The main impact on the station building for these recent changes had been the installation of cabling conduits in various locations, and the bracket mounting of speakers and cameras to the side of the roof purloins. A wall mounted junction box was installed in the subway underpass. In 2010 the car parking on both sides of the line were improved.

Integrity/Authenticity

Integrity - Daglish Railway Station and Subway has a high degree of integrity. The site has served as a functioning station since 1924. The platform and Station Building still operate for passenger services. Due to the changing nature of WAGR freight handling, the building is no longer accessible to passengers, windows have been bricked in, and the place now houses communications equipment. Authenticity - Daglish Railway Station and Subway has a high degree of authenticity externally. The internal spaces of the former ticket office have low authenticity and the former Ladies Waiting Room moderate authenticity.
