Statement of Significance
Park Lane Apartments is a fine example of the Inter-War Functionalist architectural style in the provision of residential apartments in the 1950s.
Physical Description
The double storey masonry block of flats is geometric in form with the predominant face brickwork contrasted with symmetrical rendered elements on the Park Lane frontage (primary frontage). The corner windows are a feature of the style. The roof is typically Marseille clay tiles in simple hip form.
History
The site of the two-storey 'Park Lane' apartments on the corner of Park Lane and Bay View Terrace was originally part of a larger lot that is marked as a garden on the 1903 sewerage plans for Claremont. Gardener Robert Edwards was listed in the Post Office Directory around this location. The Lot was subdivided into four residential size plots around 1913, but they were not developed at that time. In 1938-39, the vacant lots were owned by Charles Fooks (Lots 1 and 2), Mrs Marie Howson (Lot 3) and John Smith (Lot 4). By 1951, a house had been built on each of Lots 2, 3 and 4 and the corner Lot 1 was owned by Basil Evans. In 1954, Sydney Ernest Bedell acquired Lot 1 and the Park Lane apartments were built in 1956. In 1968, the apartment block was owned by Kopke & Co, and the four two-bedroom apartments were occupied by Mrs Ida Angel, Donald Feaks, Mrs Beryl Brown and Mr & Mrs George Cordin.
