25694 Mary Street Heritage Area
Mary Street Heritage Area demonstrates a diversity of the Federation and Inter-War residences that developed in close proximity and highlight the development of the styles during the intersecting periods. The quality of design, detail and decoration during the latter part of the ‘Federation’ period is demonstrated in the residences at Nos. 14, 18 culminating in Nos. 23 and 25, while the Inter-War California Bungalows revert to austerity and similarity of design and detail as shown by Nos. 10 and 24. Overall, the residences in Mary Street Heritage Area collectively form an aesthetically cohesive streetscape.
Single storey face brick with an expansive hipped Zincalume roof with a half-timbered front gablet. Verandah is evident under the main roof to front and side, and has square timber posts on a face limestone foundation.
The street location is older than the residential occupation of it, being originally a private right of way between Location 701 and Location 621 which appears to date to the 1890s. Residential development of Mary Street appears to have started in 1902 and was part of a burst of development between 1903-1915 which filled in the area between Stirling Highway and the railway line between Mary and Loch Streets. This was the main area of new development for the 1903-1915 period and contains most of the Town’s stock of housing from this era. By the end of the 1903-1915 development period there were 1,240 houses within the town with housing types that were mainly brick Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms. The majority of the street had been developed by the end of the ‘Consolidation’ period with some infill occurring during the Inter-War Period. Houses 10, 21 & 24 are evidence of this. The ‘Inter-War’ period has left the Town with a legacy of Inter-War housing mainly in either the California Bungalow style or late Federation Bungalow style. The main areas of this development were in the western parts of the town concentrated in the area from Corry Lynn Road to the Claremont border and Parry, Grange, Kingsmill and Albert Streets.
