House, 125 Samson Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed c1960. The walls are timber framed and clad with painted timber boards to dado height, with fibrous cement sheeting above. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with Zincalume. There are several pairs of timber framed sash windows. The garage is under the main roof, with timber double doors and glazing to the top section. There is a low timber picket fence to the front boundary line with painted brick piers.
In 1916, the Post Office Directories lists (for the first time) four houses along Samson Street between Taylor and Nannine Streets (most likely Nos. 99 (no longer extant), 117, 121 and 125 (an earlier house than this). Rate books show that Lot 40 of 38 (was lot 20 of 38) was vacant land owned by G F Gallop and W A Fearn in 1904-05. By 1905-06 a cottage had been built for Harry McClumpha, a tinsmith, who continued to be owner/occupier until at least 1949 when directory records cease (occupation listed as a plumber from 1945). The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows the house on this lot, with scrubland either side. There are also no houses opposite. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows a long narrow weatherboard house with an iron roofed verandah to the front, and an asbestos outbuilding to the rear. From the 1965 aerial photograph (Landgate) it appears No 125 has been rebuilt, as its footprint is slightly larger and more square. A garage has also been built to the rear of the driveway. The current house is therefore estimated to have a construction dated c1960. Its fibrous cement materials support this. The roof has been replaced since 1965; date unknown.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair to good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
