Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area and is representative of the spread of development north of the railway line within Bayswater. The site has historic value for its
association with James Burgess. It is also indicative of the speculative building that occurred within Bayswater.

Physical Description

This pair of attached (semi-detached) brick cottages share a hip roof of corrugated iron pierced by four brick chimneys in line with the ridge. The front verandahs are covered with bull-nosed corrugated iron roof supported on full height timber posts. There is a brick wall across the verandah which separates the properties. Each front has double hung wooden sash windows on each side of a central doorway and each has narrow side lights.

History

The lots on which this semi-detached house are built were acquired by James Burgess, a local brickmaker, in 1897. A property listed as "one cottage, two dwellings" appears on the notes compiled for the Rate Book in 1899, indicating that it probably originated in 1898. There was not a great deal of building in brick at that time, but no doubt Burgess, as owner of the brickyard, would have found it the cheapest material at the time. Burgess was buying up considerable land in Bayswater during this period of increasing development and this particular property, apparently built for investment, was disposed of in 1900 to a W. Henning. By the standards of the day, however, these were high quality houses. The Central Board of Health of 1902 referred to them as "the better class of house in Rose Avenue".
