Statement of Significance

McDaniel Residence (former) is significant for the long association with Broome’s pioneering families, McDaniels, and Bardwell. The World War Two association is also significant. It represents an early architect designed dwelling with subsequent alterations.

Physical Description

The single storey timber framed structure has horizontal corrugated iron wall and roof cladding. The roof is hipped with separate verandah roof. c.1922 Additions: separate wing.

History

The place was built by Japanese carpenter Hori Gorokitchi for pearler Frank Biddles. Gorokitchi arrived in Broome in 1891, at the age of twenty-three. He worked as a builder and contractor, employing Japanese carpenters. Biddles retired to Fremantle c.1903, and the residence was occupied by Graham Blick, District Medical Officer for Broome (1900-1907), and Acting Resident Magistrate for part of this period. In 1922, Daniel and Phyllis (Bardwell) McDaniel acquired the property and enlarged it. The McDaniels ran a pearling fleet. From 1942-1945, the residence was occupied by the army as officers' quarters and mess. Daniel McDaniel died in 1956, and Phyllis and her sons Terence and Nolan continued to operate as pearlers into the 1960s (Terence died in 1965). Phyllis McDaniel owned a shell collection, which she displayed. It was viewed by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh on their 1963 Western Australian visit. The place was sold after Phyllis McDaniel's death in 1979, and was subsequently been rented out.

Statement of Significance

Lady of Peace Catholic Church is significant for the association with Broome’s Catholic community. There are also associations with adjoining St John of God Convent.

Physical Description

The single storey double volume building is set sideways to the road with a tower and slender vertical copper spire on the northeast corner. The building is clad with vertical profile asbestos sheets. The presbytery is located on the south side of the Cathedral.

History

The first Catholic Church was a small timber building constructed by Filipino pearling crews c.1898, at the rear of the Streeter and Male Stores. The church was attended by Father Nicolas Emo, who was also in charge of a small school and hostel for Aboriginal children. The church was destroyed by fire c.1900. A second church was built in Weld Street by local Manila men. In 1904, it was reported that alterations and the addition of a spire had made the building 'a prominent ornament for the town'. The original church bell was bronze with a tableau of Our Lady and the crucifixion engraved on the surface. It has been replaced with three electronically controlled bells, named faith, hope and charity, which were donated to Bishop Jobst in Germany. The Cathedral contains a chapel shrine, altar and statue made up of over 900 pearl shells.

Statement of Significance

Infants Room (fmr), Broome Primary School is significant for the long association with education in Broome.

Physical Description

The single storey timber framed and clad building has the structural timbers revealed on the exterior. The entire structure is raised off the ground. Although the roof extends to form a perimeter verandah, there is no verandah at floor level of the building.

History

The first Broome school was opened in a room in the police quarters (former post office). In 1901, Broome residents built a new schoolroom on land provided by the Government, with the help of a Government grant. As the school grew, a separate Infants Room (now Music Room) was provided in 1925-26. In 1954, a third classroom was added. In 1960, the original 1901 classroom was removed, having been subject to considerable termite damage. Two new buildings were added and the Infants Room was relocated on the site for use as a hobbies and manual room. It was soon in use again as a classroom as student numbers continued to grow. A number of new buildings were added to the school over the next twenty years and in 1972, the school was reclassified as a Junior High School. In 1982, the Infants Room was being occupied as a staff room. It has since been converted for use as a Music Room.

Bedford Park was named after Governor Bedford and opened by him in 1924. In 1938, a memorial was installed in the Park commemorating William Dampier's visit to the North West coast. The Broome War Memorial and the pearl divers' decompression chamber are also in the park. The chamber was donated to Broome by English firm E. E. Heinke & Co, manufacturers of diving suits. The use of the chamber reduced the number of deaths from the bends from thirty-three in 1914 to one in 1918. In 1990, the Broome Historical Society sent the decompression chamber to Fremantle Maritime Museum for restoration. It was returned in 1992 and is now displayed in the Museum. Other memorials in the park include one honouring Hugh Davis (Pa) Norman, one of the pioneers in the pearling industry and another honouring his son, Edward (Ted) de Burgh Norman, and his wife Catherine Mary (Rene), who was the first Commissioner of Girl Guides in the north-west from 1932-1941. In 1938, a memorial was installed in Bedford Park commemorating William Dampier's visit to the North West coast in the Roebuck in the early 1700s. It was originally accepted that Dampier had landed at Roebuck Bay, but this has since been proved incorrect.

Statement of Significance

Kennedy's Holiday Cottage is significant for the associations with Bert Kennedy and the representation of a way of life in Broome.

History

Thomas Herbert Kennedy, called Bert, but also known as H. K. Unsinkable, arrived in Broome from Melbourne in 1905 aged 22. He worked as a clerk for Hugh (Pa) Norman, then for storekeepers Moss and Richardson. When Richardson retired, he transferred his agencies to Bert Kennedy. Bert purchased a store on Napier Terrace. He married Nita Millar in 1910 and they had six children. Nita inherited two luggers from her uncle and the Kennedy's went into pearling as well. Nita died in 1926. After the children were grown up, Bert Kennedy decided to build a holiday house at Willie Creek. Willie Creek was a picnic and fishing spot frequented by the residents of Broome. Bert Kennedy's holiday house was originally his lugger store and still has the original barred windows. It was transported to Willie Creek by lugger and erected on a cliff overlooking the creek and inlet. Verandahs were built around all sides. Bert died in 1976.

Statement of Significance

SCIENTIFIC/ARCHEOLOGICAL The building and the areas in the immediate vicinity of the building has the potential to reveal archaeological evidence. SCARCITY The mill is unusual in that it was built to combine the functions of both milling and shearing HISTORICAL The mill building is an important remnant of early farming practices. The construction of the mill by Graham ensured that he was able to provide flour not only for his own personal needs but he was also able to sell his excess flour. This type of cottage industry was to be the backbone of the colony’s success and would ultimately lead to the economic development of the state.

Physical Description

The mill is a two storey building constructed from rammed earth. The exterior surface has been coated with cement render. The building layout is “L” shaped in design with gable ends. The roof is clad with corrugated galvanised iron. The southern portion of the building has retained the first floor with a cellar locate beneath the shorter eastern portion of the building. A modern open lean-to, constructed of corrugated galvanised iron sheets on a steel frame, has been added to the southern side of the northern section. This area was formerly occupied by the sheep yards. Some of the original we paned windows have survived. No milling machinery remains inside the building. The building appears to be in good condition and has retained a high degree of integrity.

History

Assessment 1996 This assessment has been developed from a study carried out by Palassis Architects in 1994. The study divided the flour milling areas of Western Australia into seven regions and this particular mill falls within the Central Great Southern District of that study. Until the 1890’s only limited amounts of wheat were grown in the district. The small amount grown in the district was generally for household or local consumption only. Prior to this date, only seven mills are known to have operated in the region. The earliest mill was constructed in the 1850s by Joseph Spencer on his property “Balgarup” near Kojonup and was powered by a steam engine. Other settlers moving into the area also constructed their own mills, such as Edward Treasure on his property “Martinup” and William Graham on his property “Fairfield” near Broomehill. Both of these mills were constructed c. 1865. Treasure’s mill was horse driven while Graham’s was steam powered. In the 1870s three further mills were constructed: G.S. Watts mill at Wandering, Knights mill at Wandering and Stephen Mongers mill at Williams. All three were powered by steam engines Those mills constructed in the 1850s and 1860s were probably built largely for the farmers personal use. A mill not only provided the farmer with the means to grind his own wheat, but any excess flour could be used for bartering. However, it is more than likely that Spencer, Treasure and Graham also ground their neighbours’ grain, keeping back a bag or two in payment. By contrast, those mills built in the 1870s and 1880s were often built purely as a commercial venture to capture the growing wheat trade, thereby returning profit for the businessman. Of the seven mills constructed in the Central Great southern Region, only three have survived to the present day: Graham’s, Knight’s and Monger’s Mills. William Graham moved into the Broomehill region in the 1850s, with other settlers who had recognised the potential of the area for sheep grazing. He named his property “Fairfield” and was active in seeking out new land to increase his holdings. He constructed a flour mill on his property in c. 1865 which was then steam powered.
