• This place has aesthetic value as a predominantly intact example of the Inter War style. • The place has historic value for its association with the development of this area of Bassendean in the Inter War period. • This place has social value as the house demonstrates the form and scale of housing in the inter war period.
A single storey timber weatherboard and iron house of traditional asymmetric plan form. The front elevation of the dwelling incorporates a gabled projecting bay, with a verandah across the recessed section of the elevation. Hipped roof continues down with a break of pitch to form verandah canopy supported on timber columns, with a timber deck and no balustrade. Projecting bay has timbered gable with 3-section sash window arrangement with a skillion iron awning supported on timber brackets. The front entrance is incorporated into the recessed section of the elevation, with side lights and fan light. The property has an open planted garden without boundary treatment and a separate garage to the south of the house.
Portion of Bassendean was originally developed under the name 'Eden Estate' in the 1890s when developer and future Premier of Western Australia, Frank Wilson, subdivided land for residential use. The name was believed to come from a farm that once existed in the area. Ivanhoe Street, together with Iolanthe and Ida Streets, are named in honour of characters from Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas. From the available evidence this residence was constructed in 1930 for mechanic, William Henry Allpike (c1906-1969) and his wife Mary Elizabeth Allpike, née Fewster (c1906-1971). The couple had married in 1928 and only remained at this residence until the mid-1930s. A later long term occupant was Tom Little. Information from aerial photographs indicates that the residence has changed little in form and extent since the mid-20th century. Although evidence is inconclusive it appears the house was clad in red corrugated iron until the mid-1970s and then clad in its current zincalume. Minor extensions and additions appear to have been undertaken at the rear of the building.
