Statement of Significance

These two storeyed rendered brick and tile residences, in the
InterWar Mediterranean cum Modernist style, has cultural
significancebecause:
- it is an example of a doctor-architect relationship
providing a notable work of its time;
- it is an accomplished work which marked a design
departure for Rodney Alsop, prior to his premature death;
- it is a sophisticated synthesis of two of the prevailing
design idioms of the day, undertaken with a high level of
workmanship and which retain a high level of integrity;
- it is part of a cultural group and a townscape area.

Perth but also disciplined in a 'formal' Mediterranean
manner."

History

California during the first three decades of this century. This
place provides an interesting parallel. Alsop was the
architect for the University of Western Australia's Winthrop
Hall and Administration complex. Some historical
significance.
