This single storey weatherboard and tile cottage, in the
Victorian Georgian style, has cultural significance because:

about seven decades;

suburb and the Perth region generally, and retains a
moderate to high level of integrity;
it represents the range of housing types available in the
suburb during its first phase of development;
it is part of a cultural group and within a townscape
area.

Physical Description

This modest cottage is a pattern book design from an earlier
era, such as would be expected in the inner suburbs of
Melbourne and Sydney or the major goldfields settlements of
Victoria and New South Wales.

many working men to build in this part of Peppermint Grove in
the early twentieth century. It was occupied by his family until
recent times. Some historical significance.
