T. McDaniel’s Residence (former) is significant for the long association with one of Broome’s pearling pioneer families. It is typical of an early 1900s dwelling with few subsequent alterations.
Single storey timber framed structure with horizontal corrugated iron wall cladding. The hipped roof is also clad with corrugated iron. Verandah under main roof is enclosed by hinged shutters above dado. Originally a two roomed cottage it has been extended and developed. Recently restored. Some renovations.
Terence McDaniel was the son of pearlers Daniel and Phyllis McDaniel. Terence and his brother Nolan worked in the family's pearling business. Terence McDaniel served in World War Two as a pilot in the RAAF, surviving two crashes. He married twice and had three daughters from his first marriage. He was a member of the Road Board and Shire Council from 1950-1964. On 11 September 1965, Terence received a phone call at 2.30am, warning that a jail escapee had been seen near his pearling lugger. While getting ready to investigate the report, he accidentally shot himself in the back as he was strapping his revolver around his waist. He was taken to Derby hospital where he died four days later. He was accorded a guard of honour of RSL members at his burial in the Pioneer Cemetery.
