Statement of Significance

• The place has historic value for its association with the former milk depot which was located at this site.

Physical Description

Single storey timber framed dwelling with weatherboard cladding, vented gable, skillion roofed verandah which extends around the façade and side (west) elevation, supported on timber columns with simple timber frieze between the columns. The timber framed casement windows each have two small panes to the upper section of the opening and a single large pane to the lower section. Part of the verandah has been enclosed with fibro cladding. A broad and tall brick chimney projects out of the west side of the roof. The adjoining carport has no aesthetic value. Large steel shed to the rear.

History

This property is the location of the Harvey Co-Operative Dairy Company which commenced cooling milk on the premises on 1 December 1925. The cooled whole-milk was then transported to Perth by rail in cans. A second cooling plant opened in Hayward Street which was later taken over by the Pascomi Company in 1927. Pascomi's was well known for the establishment of a milk treatment plant in North Perth c1926. In 1928, Harvey Co-operative Dairy Co went into liquidation and the property was advertised for sale. It consisted of an acre of land with a timber cooling depot and associated machinery. It is not clear who purchased the property and whether it continued to be used as a milk depot.
