Statement of Significance

27 Hoddell Road, Cardiff, has cultural heritage significance for its association with the Cardiff school as the school master’s house.

Physical Description

2016: The house has not been reassessed on account of it not being visible from the street.

History

Mining leases were being taken up in the Collie Cardiff area from January 1900. In October 1900, The Inquirer and Commercial News described Collie Cardiff as having an area of 6,000 acres and that ‘over 1,000 ft of boring has been done upon it and some good seams of coal have been struck, but it has not yet reached the producing stage”. The need for a townsite was clear by 1902 and a town named Collieburn (sometimes Collie-Burn), mid way between the Collie Burn and Collie Cardiff coal mines was gazetted in 1907. By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn. Collie-Cardiff appears in the Wise Post Office Directories from 1908, appearing later as Collie Cardiff. Street names are not provided. Lot 412 appears to have been subdivided from Lot 34 Reserve 19493 as shown on a 1967 plan of the townsite. Lot 34 was reserved for Government Requirements. The 1996 Shire of Collie Municipal Heritage Inventory notes that the site was formerly the school master’s house and is located adjacent to the former school site. The 1967 plan shows the school site further east, on the northern most side of Bowers Street. Further research is required to clarify this.

The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn. In June 1914, the Collie Mail reported that “for many years the residents of Cardiff have suffered immeasurable inconvenience through having no public hall in the locality. The children have had to travel into the Collie State School daily to receive their education, no regular public worship could be held, and above all there was no place in which public entertainments could take place”. The people of Cardiff banded together to raise the required funds at a Bazaar held on 4 June, attended by an “immense crowd” . The Cardiff Hall was opened on 5 November 1915 by Mr AA Wilson MLA. In reporting the opening, the Collie Mail noted that the community had raised £156 to construct the hall, which was matched on a pound for pound basis by the Government. A further £100 was required to clear the debt owing on the construction of the hall. The hall was described as “fifty feet in length by forty in breath…with a height of fourteen feet from floor to ceiling. The building was of jarrah and possessed good acoustic properties. There was a good platform erected, and two ante-rooms were connected with the hall fitted with fire places, water etc.”

By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn. Lot 349 is shown on an unnamed street on a 1912 plan of the Collie-Burn and Collie-Cardiff townsites. Collie-Cardiff appears in the Wise Post Office Directories from 1908, appearing later as Collie Cardiff. Street names are not provided.
