Category Description
Local Heritage Survey Adopted 25 Feb 2020 Classification 3

Classification 3

Sites have heritage significance, though it is likely that these places will or have experienced development pressure. Owners of properties are encouraged to retain and conserve their property wherever possible, although demolition would be supported where there is limited opportunity to retain the existing buildings.

Municipal Inventory Adopted 24 Feb 1998 Classification 4

Classification 4

These sites have some importance, however they are not essential and their retention is not considered to be necessary. These places are included on the Municipal Inventory for historical recording purposes.

Statement of Significance

This place is an example of an early building in the area and is
representative of development north of the railway line within
Bayswater. It is part of the early development that occurred in
response to the relocation of the Midland Railway Workshops in
1904.

Physical Description

Timber framed cottage with weatherboard frontage and corrugated metal sides and
a corrugated iron gable roof. A lean-to roof covers the rear portion of the cottage
and there is a later extension to the rear, which is clad with weatherboard. A
separate bull nosed roof covers the front verandah, which is supported on full
height timber posts with open balustrade and approached by a flight of wooden
steps. The central panelled front door is flanked by a double-hung wooden sash
window on either side.

History

This cottage is one of a group of houses which was under construction during 1905-
7. Old sewerage maps indicate that there were once six worker's cottages in a row
built in Coode Street, just under the subway, and the three at No 7, 15 and 19
Coode Street are the only ones remaining. This cottage appears to have been
built and initially occupied by Herbert Bowmont, painter, and subsequently
occupied by Alfred Clifford Catt. Those whose occupation was listed as "Painter"
were most probably employed at the Midland Workshops and this cottage can be
seen as part of the building activity which occurred in response to the relocation of
the workshops.
