02864 Blandstown Heritage Precinct
Monger Cottage, 51 Avon Terrace has historical associations and makes some contribution to the historic townscapes of the Blandstown precinct, and the town of York.
A single storey residence with a break pitch front veranda that has been partially enclosed with a dado wall and casement windows above.
After York was opened for selection in 1830, the first settlers, arrived in 1831 from the Swan River settlement with the task of establishing a Government Farm. Balladong Farm was settled in 1831 by William Heal, later H. Bland after whom Blandstown is named. Stephen Stanley Parker had arrived in the Colony with his parents in 1830. After marrying Elizabeth Sewell in 1844 he purchased Balladong Farm in 1848. During the 1850s, Parker developed the property into a very successful farm. The “village” now known as Blandstown, the oldest privately settled part of the York town, developed around Balladong Farm due to the influential presence, water supply, and the river crossing.
