Physical Description

Templemore is constructed of face brickwork in Flemish bond with simple segmental arches over the door and window openings. The corrugated iron hipped roof (painted green) returns as a gable end over a projecting bay on the north-eastern side. Detailing is simple, with a symmetrical façade featuring a double hung window on either side of the central door. The return verandah is under a separate roof and extends to the rear of the building on the south-western side and to the projecting bay on the north-eastern side. It has plain bevelled posts and decorative iron brackets. The verandah floor has been brick paved. The chimney has decorative brickwork to the cap and a single terracotta pot. The verandah abuts a low, Flemish bond brick fence along the street frontage. This features a sloping rendered cap and painted brick piers (also with rendered caps). It returns a short distance adjacent to the verandah on the north-eastern side and across the front an eclectic cottage garden which extends along the south-western side of the house. The landscaping includes a number of mature trees, and a large palm forms the central element of the side garden. A large rear yard includes an informal landscaped garden, shed, vehicular access (off Brockman Street) and a garage. The gallery and tearooms were closed on the day of the site inspection and no access was available to the interior.

History

James Kearney purchased Lots 2 & 3 in 1896 and constructed the house in 1908. A bicentennial plaque attached to the fence claims that it was the first private residence in Nannup and that it was used as a boarding house during the depression.
