Statement of Significance

This house with the rest of the group are examples of the Western Australian "Edwardian Filigree" style bungalow. A rare group virtually intact. This substantial home is a fine example of a gracious home of the boom period set in well maintained grounds and with others of similar ilk.

Physical Description

1995 Comment: Part of a rare and special streetscape virtually intact. Tremora", A substantial "Edwardian Filigree" bungalow , 1909, of asymmetric plan with multi-planed hipped iron roof and two entrances. The half-timbered gables have pebbledash, louvred sections and turned finials. The tuckpointed red bricks have stuccoed quoins at the corners. Arched three-light casement windows with smaller lights above have decorative stuccoed sills which provide contrast. The wooden verandah sheltered by its own hipped roof has turned wooden posts straight-battened filigree arches and turned balusters for the balustrade. The latter may not be original. The front doors have superb stained glass also in a light to one side and fan light. There is a square tower section toward the rear of the house and possibly extensive sympathetic additions such as a verandah to the rear without turned posts but with filagree frieze. A carport sits in the well maintained grounds. The picket fence is modern Reason for Inlcusion: 1.

The place contributes to the character and amenity of the street, locality and overall district.
