Bangers House (fmr) is significant for associations with WT Banger and the Western Pearl Trading Company and the pearling industry in the early 1900s, and as a representative example of typical north west bungalow housing of the period. Bangers House (fmr) contributes to the character and streetscape of Port Hedland town.
Single storey timber framed fibro cement clad bungalow raised on round concrete stumps with verandahs enclosed by dado walls and shutters. Hipped roof clad with pre-painted corrugated steel sheeting and 1993 central gable portico on the street front.
Built in the early 1900s by Charlie Bayman for William Theodore Banger, the place was originally located on the foreshore as accommodation for Banger’s Western Pearl Trading Company workers. It was the only reputable pearl fleet operator in Port Hedland at the time. Relocated to Egan Street in the 1930s, it remained dilapidated until refurbishment in 1993. Charlie Bayman built many early buildings in Port Hedland including the Post Office (1910-1912- now demolished)
Integrity: High Authenticity: Low to moderate Changes to place Extensive refurbishment in 1993
