Statement of Significance
83B & C Bay View Terrace is a good representative example of the Inter-War Functionalist architectural style in the provision of residential duplex apartments in the 1950s.
Physical Description
The double storey masonry duplex is geometric in form with vertical pillars and horizontal rendered balustrades to the asymmetrical front balconies. The roof is typical clay tiles in simple hip form.
History
No.83 was located on Melville Suburban Lot 136 and comprised a large house owned by David Forrest, younger brother of Sir John and Alexander Forrest. David Forrest managed the pastoral property 'Minderoo' in the Ashburton district, which he part owned with his brothers and Septimus Burt, and after which his home in Claremont was named. He was MLA for Ashburton 1900-1901 and retired to Claremont where he died in 1917, aged 65. Mrs David Forrest was still in residence until her death in 1942 at the age of 89. Suburban Lot 136 was subdivided at this time, creating Lots 71-75.
When purchased in 1951 by Marjorie Sydow Robinson of the Hotel Swanbourne Lot 74 was 999 sqm. By 1954, the lot was shared equally between Mrs Robinson, Frederick (her husband) and Alex and Jacqueline (her son and daughter-in-law). In 1956, a two-storey duplex was constructed, with each floor being a self-contained unit. One floor of the building was occupied by Frederick and Marjorie Robinson and the other by Alex and Jacqueline Robinson.
Marjorie Robinson died in 1959 and Frederick in 1970. In 1973, Roma Russell acquired title to 83b and 83c Bay View Terrace and the duplexes were rented out. It is thought the new owner was the Roma Russell who, with husband Geoffrey, lived at 1 Cliff Road.
