02864 Blandstown Heritage Precinct

Statement of Significance

Residence, 7 Avon Terrace, is significant in demonstrating an intact early dwelling in the Victorian Georgian style, with an addition of the same period, that makes a considerable contribution to the historic townscapes of the Blandstown precinct, and the town of York.

Physical Description

The single storey rendered masonry residence has a typical (Georgian) symmetrical frontage with central door and flanking single double hung sash windows with multi-pane glazing. The simple hipped roof has a separate hipped skillion veranda across the front supported by square timber posts. The single protruding gable frontage has been added on the south side of the dwelling.

History

After York was opened for selection in 1830, the first settlers, arrived in 1831 from the Swan River settlement with the task of establishing a Government Farm. Balladong Farm was settled in 1831 by William Heal, later H. Bland after whom Blandstown is named. Stephen Stanley Parker had arrived in the Colony with his parents in 1830. After marrying Elizabeth Sewell in 1844 he purchased Balladong Farm in 1848. During the 1850s, Parker developed the property into a very successful farm. The “village” now known as Blandstown, the oldest privately settled part of the York town, developed around Balladong Farm due to the influential presence, water supply, and the river crossing.
