25713 Princess Road Heritage Area 1
Princess Road Heritage Area 1 demonstrates an identifiable aesthetic of substantial examples of the Federation Bungalow architectural style, represented in original and refurbished fabric that collectively form a streetscape.
A Public Works Department map dated 1896 shows that Princess Road had been subdivided into large lots. Sometime between 1896 and 1903 these large lots were further subdivided into the house lots that exist today and side roads such as Evelyn and Koeppe were created. When the Claremont Rate Books commence in 1903 there were already twenty houses on Princess Road. Eleven of these were constructed in brick, eight in weatherboard and one in stone. By the end of the ‘Consolidation’ period (1915) there were twenty four houses in the street. The ‘Consolidation’ period was a period of rapid growth within the town. Population and housing grew steadily with 701 households or businesses in 1905, 872 in 1910 and 1,240 in 1915. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway. Surviving heritage homes from this period indicate that housing types were mainly Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
