All three buildings have been individually noted to be of aesthetic significance as examples of residential building dating from the period around the turn of the century, when the increasing affluence of the community following the gold boom is reflected in the increased use of decoration.
Three Federation Queen Anne style former Residences.
West Perth developed as a suburban residential area in the late 1890s. From its inception it had the characteristics of a quality neighbourhood predominantly because of the proximity to the city centre and Kings Park (then known as Perth Park), and the elevated location which provided healthy site drainage as well as cooling breezes and views over the city and hills. The area has social status already associated with addresses in nearby Mount Street and access to the city’s piped water system. The area was subdivided into large residential lots for development and proceeded accordingly. The homes built in West Perth from the early 1900s included prestigious mansions built in prominent locations and smaller working-class cottages in the narrower back streets and towards the northern end of the area adjacent to the railway.
