The three Art Deco residences at the corner of Jutland Parade and Wattle Avenue have significant aesthetic, historic and rarity cultural heritage value. They are fine examples of the Inter-War period. Their Art Moderne Style originated in the 1920s and 1930s and is characterised by rectilinear and streamlined forms with the innovative use of plastic and glass. The design style became popular inW A during the 1930s and J 940s and was enthusiastically supported in Nedlands and Dalkeith where many houses were being constructed between the wars. The grouping of three houses of this calibre is rare and worthy of being judged as a precinct.
At the corner of Jutland Parade and Wattle Avenue stand three two storey houses, all extremely fine examples of residences built in the Inter-War period. The houses are built with many features that are typical of Art Moderne style with nautical influences - brick with rendered horizontal elements, flowing curved valance and parapets, expansive glassed areas, with some curved glass and steel balustrading. They are built facing the river and are part of the area known by some as 'Millionaires Row' but more commonly as 'Bookies Row'. All three houses have Marseilles pattern roof tiles.
The first owners of this residence were Stan and Lil Nicholas (information Shirley Cruickshank). The house was designed by William G Bennet who was a prominent architect of the Inter-War period. He was involved in the design of many well known public places in the City of Nedlands such as the Peace Memorial Rose Garden, the Council Offices, the Dalkeith Tennis Club and the Child Health Clinic near Melvista Reserve
