Condition

The Main House is generally in fair to good condition. The exterior posts, remaining lattice and balustrades are in fair to good condition, although many of the weatherboards require painting. Interior walls are in fair to good condition, although some lathe and plaster walls are in need of repair particularly in the north eastern corner of the kitchen, part of the stairwell and south wall of the study. In the dining area, plaster on the lathe ceiling has partially collapsed. The Laundry Building is in poor condition, and the Garage is in very poor condition. The Studio Block is generally in good condition. The Gardens are in fair to good condition. On 25 November 2009, the Oldham Residence, Swanbourne was damaged by fire. The damage was mainly limited to one section of the western elevation of the Main House, with the most damage occurring to the upstairs bathroom, which has little original fabric remaining. Other areas affected by fire damage to a lesser extent include the external jarrah weatherboards and window frames of the western elevation and the lathe and plaster walls and ceilings in the downstairs lounge room and the upstairs bedroom.
