House, 47 Wilson Street is a single storey, brick and tile house with timber structure beneath has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has landmark qualities and contributes significantly to the streetscape and the community's sense of place.
House, 47 Wilson Street is a single storey, timber framed, brick clad and tile house with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Inter War Bungalow style of architecture. The walls have a brick cladding veneer. The roof is pitched and clad with tiles. The verandah is under a continuous tiled roof and is supported by round metal posts. There is a central front door flanked on either side by timber framed double hung sash windows with fixed pane at their centre. There is a face brick chimney evident. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary.The age and style of this dwelling has been disguised by the application of brick and tile over the previous timber and iron fabric.
House, 47 Wilson Street was built c. 1920 and is thought to have been one of the first houses in the area. It predates the Carey Park Estate, which was developed around it soon after World War II. It is probable that the house originally sat on a large parcel of land, as the main entrance faces Clarke Street East, even though the address remains Wilson Street. No information could be found on this place in the available Bunbury Rate Books.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity - alterations but with much original fabric remaining (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
