Municipal Inventory	Adopted	19 Jul 1999	Category 1	Category 1 Buildings, which due to their character create the atmosphere of Peppermint Grove, therefore should be retained, but may be altered and extended in a manner which is both discrete and sympathetic to the original fabric and character so that a significant proportion of the original building is retained and from the street the additions are seen to be a continuation of the same fabric and character.

Statement of Significance

This two storey residence and former stables, located on a
subdivision from the Rischbeith mansion 'Unalla', has exceptional
cultural significancebecause:
- it has historical associations with the Rischbeith's, William
Evans andMarshall Clifton;
- it is a unique and notable work ofMarshall Clifton;
- it represents the start of a new physical phase in the
development of the suburb and another phase in the social
developmentof the suburb.

Physical Description

A notable amalgam of markedly different styles, using contrasting
material palettes. A picturesque essay, informally composed,
contrasting broad masses with details which give emphasis to the
large sheltered entry. The design requires brilliant sunshine for its
best effects.

History

The place was built on one of the early subdivisions from the large
estates or 'superblocks' of Peppermint Grove. William Evans was
Bessie Rischbeith's nephew and a member of the longstanding
Peppermint Grove Evans family. Marshall Clifton, who designed
the conversion of the former 'Unalla stables' into a residence,was a
prominent Peppermint Grove artist and architect and has since
become one of Western Australia's noted architects. Exceptional
historical significance.

Integrity/Authenticity

This place is not listed in Marshall Clifton, Architect & Artist, but
is a work of his "Spanish" period, a phase of his work which is
highly regarded for its innovation and technical competence.
