Greenslade’s House has historic significance through its association with the Greenslade family. Greenslade’s House has architectural significance as a fine example of a limestone house built in the 1920s which has maintained its external integrity.
Greenslade’s House is situated on a prominent block of land next to Greenslade’s Shop. The house is set close to Rockingham Road. It is built from coarse faced limestone blocks (quarried from this site) with red brick quoins. The design of the house is symmetrical and the hipped roof is corrugated iron. The facade of the house is shaded by a verandah under a broken backed roof, supported by decorative wooden posts.
John Greenslade originally came from Somerset in England. He migrated to Australia in 1913 and his first job was as a driver for Bolton's Produce Store. He progressed from there by buying a block of land in Hamilton Hill and with the stone found on the block he built a house and produce store. Greenslade became a prominent community member, serving on the Fremantle Hospital Board and the Jandakot and Fremantle Roads Boards.
