Municipal Inventory	Adopted	28 Feb 1995	Level 3 Residential Conservation Area	Level 3 Residential Conservation Area The place should not be demolished unless it can be demonstrated that conservation of the original fabric is impractical and demolition will not diminish the cultural heritage significance of any other place. Encourage the owner to retain the place for its value as an individual heritage place and, where relevant, because it forms part of a significant streetscape within the Conservation Area. Significant/original fabric should be retained and conserved where possible.

The new use should not diminish the significance of the Conservation Area in which it is located.

History

The area of West Subiaco developed primarily as residential from the early 1900s. Most of the main roads were gazetted by 1883, but were unsealed until the 1900s. Derby Road was named after Lord Derby, Secretary for Colonies. Hensman Road was named after Mr A P Hensman, Judge and Attorney General. The first houses were established in streets closest to the commercial area along Hay Street and Rokeby Road, and the area west of the civic square, including Barker, Bagot, Hensman, Douglas, Lawler, Loretto, Raphael, Denis and Rowland Streets. Another early subdivision was located along Rokeby Road, and included Rawson, Campbell, Coolgardie, Duke, and Union Streets. Most of the West Subiaco precinct was developed by 1915, with the most recent houses to be built by c1925 in the south west corner. Two land releases, called Redfern Estates No. 1 and No. 2, were situated along the railway line opposite the new suburb of Daglish. Early public buildings in the West Subiaco precinct included the Industrial School on Barker Road (1897), later converted into King Edward Memorial Hospital in 1916.
