The house has social significance as the scene in which many of the dramas were played. This residence may be the grandest and best known home of its era in Perth.
A massive, two storey, classically styled home. Masonry is rendered and painted white. Columned, double height, entry porch. Large windows, some arched. Many balconies. Partially concealed, low roof. Grand staircase, lift. Set in a formal garden of lawns, flower beds and shaped conifers. A large block of more than one lot. A high, wrought iron fence with a decorative, arched gateway fronts Wellington Street. Streetscape includes smaller houses, a reserve and the golf course. The house has extensive river views to the north east.
This mansion was built by mining magnate Lang Hancock for his wife, Rose. The Hancock family were often considered newsworthy, particularly around the time of Lang Hancock's death.
