Statement of Significance

Newcastle Street Group is representative of the residential development of West Perth from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and contributes to the historic character of the area. It is a good example of a Federation Queen Anne style streetscape, showing a variation in stylistic elements and building size.

Physical Description

Newcastle Street Group is a continuous row of six houses located on the north side of Newcastle Street between Charles and Strathcona Streets in West Perth. All six buildings are single storey detached dwellings that face the street. Five of the houses were constructed in the Federation Queen Anne style and one was constructed in the Inter-War California Bungalow style (No. 486).

History

The row of six houses were constructed between 1898-1937. Three of the six houses continue to be used as private residences. Two residences are now used as a hostel for backpackers, and one residence is currently vacant although until recently was being used as a medical centre.
