Statement of Significance
The place is significant for its associations with Walter Day.
Physical Description
The two front rooms of the house were built in 1923 of brick with a corrugated iron roof and a central passageway. A further two rooms in the same style were added to the rear about the mid 1930s (according to the owners). There were verandahs on the west, north and east sides of the house. The verandah on the north side was later enclosed for a bathroom and sleepout. The original house has recently been considerably extended and a verandah added on the south side. The old front door was moved to the extension and the opening bricked in.
Recently, additions have been made with roof dormer windows, altering the roofline.
History
The house was built for Walter Day, a well known pioneer of the Swan Valley viticultural industry.
