House

Statement of Significance

The building forms part of the remnant stock which make up the historic town's fabric.

Physical Description

A single-storey weatherboard and iron cottage with verandah and ashlar effect weatherboards. The weatherboards have 'cricket bats' to the corners and opening of the front elevation to give a corbels effect. They have been restored, taken back to the original Jarrah, with rotten sections replaced and repainted.

Split pane double hung sash windows, central front door. House is characterised by a simplicity in form and a lack of decoration. The floor boards are original in the front two rooms and entry, and in excellent condition. All of the walls and ceilings are in tongue-and-groove Baltic pine.

Reroofing has altered the roofline.

History

Colonial-era Guildford residence, prior to the development of Midland Junction.

It has been alleged that the residence was constructed around 1870 and was the first kit home of its kind sent over from California
