The place is a two-storey brick and tile former residence constructed in the Federation Queen Anne style. The tuckpointed brick has been painted over, but the stucco banding has been retained. It has a hipped roof and tall chimneys with terracotta pots. There are brackets on the eaves and chimneys. There is a prominent flying gable with a timber screen to the street front bay. The window awnings are not original. The two-storey verandah is under a separate roof and has timber posts, ornamental brackets, a decorative frieze and balustrade. There is a shingle roof to the ground floor verandah.
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.
Moderate
