Statement of Significance

This place has historic value for its association with the early settlement and development of Gosnells. The place has aesthetic value as a good example of an inter-war style residence in a mature garden.

Physical Description

A traditional single storey dwelling with expansive hipped and gabled roof, sweeping low to form the canopy to the front verandah. The house is of brick construction with a concrete block verandah balustrade. The house is sited behind a low garden fence and dense garden plantings. A separate timber framed and fibre cement garage fronts directly onto the street, constructed of timber framed construction with fibre cement cladding with tiled gable roof.

History

The parcel of land on which this residence is located was subdivided in 1905 and it is likely that this residence dates from the early decades of the 20th century. The original owner or occupier has not currently been determined. Aerial photographs from the 1950s and 1960s indicate that it was one of a small group of houses on Mills Road located within orchards although this property only has a small orchard close to the house. The carport close to the road was built in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
