Albert Thomas House is aesthetically significant as an example of the City of Wanneroo's vernacular architecture. It is a typical single storey homestead dating from the Inter-War period. Historically the place is significant as a representation of the establishing of farming in the Wanneroo district and for its associations with the Sinagra family who were settlers in the Wanneroo district in the Inter-War period.
Albert Thomas House which is currently vacant (2004) is located at Pt Lot 2928, 27 Perry Road, Pinjar in a rural property on the north side of Perry Road within the City of Wanneroo's North Ward. The house is setback approximately 150 metres from the road and faces west on the land which rises gently towards the north. The mostly cleared site also contains a concrete tank and shed on the south side of the house, a bread oven on the east side and established trees including olive trees and a fence of timber bush poles with wire mesh. The single storey homestead is built from concrete blocks on limestone footings and has a steeply pitched corrugated iron hipped roof with a brick chimney. The verandah which is incorporated under the roof, surrounds the four sides of the house and is supported by timber posts. The door and window openings do not appear to have doors and windows extant and there is cgi sheeting missing from the roof. At the time on inspection in 2004 the place was in a deteriorated condition.
The suburb of Pinjar is named after the large swampy lake of this name located north east of Wanneroo. The lake name is shown on government plans from 1868, and the name is of Aboriginal origin. The meaning of Pinjar is unknown, but could be 'tadpole' or 'swampy lake'. The Sinagra's arrived from Italy in 1923 and raised eight sons and three daughters in Wanneroo. They purchased the property at Perry Road Pinjar in 1931 which had been a diary since the 1920s for market gardening and grazing cattle. The cottage was built from hand made cement blocks by a cartage contractor who was part-time secretary of the Shire of Wanneroo
