Statement of Significance

Master Pearlers house (former) is significant for the long association with Broome’s pioneering pearl industry, and a good representation of early 1900s Broome residence.

Physical Description

A single storey timber framed structure with horizontal corrugated iron wall cladding with vertical clad shutters to the surrounding verandahs. The hipped roof is also clad with corrugated iron and the verandah is at break pitch. There is a separate two-storey section fronting Stewart Street.

History

Master Pearlers house (former) was reputedly owned and occupied by a Master Pearler. In 1910, Mr E.M. King Bardwell owned the place, and in 1924, the Scott brothers. It was at one time a boarding house. During the ownership of Laurie Ocean, it was known as Arthur Flats. In 2003, it was a bed and breakfast facility.
