Statement of Significance

One of the oldest and one of the few brick and stone cottages in Cottesloe.

Physical Description

This Victorian cottage has brick walls to the sides of the house but like 18 Broome Street, 103 Forrest Street and 183 Curtin Avenue the frontage is mainly coursed random rubble limestone [Cottesloe stone]. Brick quoins around the windows and the front corners of the house make an attractive contrast. The windows are double hung with a large central window and smaller lights on each side. The L shaped hipped roof is of corrugated zincalume. A bullnosed verandah with square verandah posts extends across part of the frontage. One room projects forward. The house is set close to the front of the block behind a low picket fence in a narrow street. The weatherboard cottage which stands beside it contributes to an intimate streetscape. The family which owns it extended it in 1989 adding a family room, bathrooms and two other rooms

History

In 1905 owned by David Noonan railway employee. A police commissioner lived here in the 1940s.
