HERITAGE ASSESSMENT OF THE 1925 DAGLISH LAND RELEASE
1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The State Government’s Draft Perth and [email protected] report and the associated Draft Central Sub-Regional Planning Framework focus “on achieving higher infill and densities of residential and employment development within the existing built environment by making better use of established infrastructure”. In particular, each of these documents “advocates for greater use of activity centres, transport corridors and station precincts to support a diversity of higher-density accommodation that is close to jobs and amenities”. 1 Under the draft framework Station Precincts are defined as: areas surrounding train stations and major bus interchanges with the potential to accommodate transit oriented development (TOD) but which are not identified as activity centres. 2 These have been otherwise defined as areas of roughly 400metres in diameter surrounding train stations and major bus interchanges, which have been identified as areas for increased density to allow for future urban consolidation and infill.3 In late October 2015, the City of Subiaco appointed Greenward Consulting to undertake a preliminary heritage survey of those parts of Daglish, Subiaco and Shenton Park that have been identified as Station Precincts. The primary objective of this preliminary heritage survey was to determine if any heritage issues needed to be considered as part of the planning process relating to the proposed Station Precincts (with particular reference to the City of Subiaco Planning Policy 3.5 Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance). This included identifying: • Individual places that were recommended for more detailed assessment and consideration for inclusion on the Town Planning Scheme Register of Places of Cultural Heritage Significance (the City of Subiaco Heritage List). • Heritage streetscapes and/or groups of heritage places that were recommended for more detailed assessment and consideration as potential Heritage Areas under the Town Planning Scheme. No places in Daglish were identified under the first category, but the preliminary heritage assessment recommended two areas for further assessment under the second category, based on the following conclusions: • Daglish Heritage Area (first land release) Area bounded by part Stubbs Terrace, Olga Place, part Robinson Terrace and part Troy Terrace. This part of Daglish has aesthetic, social and historic value for its design as a modern inter-war era suburb, laid out in 1925 and largely developed in the period 1927 to c.1942. Based on the preliminary heritage assessment, 80% of the houses within the original part of Daglish are of Some Heritage Value, including 38 of high authenticity and 60 of medium

authenticity. Only 26 houses were assessed as being of Little/No Heritage Value and many of these are of a compatible form and scale. • Daglish Workers’ Homes Board Heritage Area (subdivided in c.1935) This part of Daglish is of aesthetic, social and historic value as a largely intact Workers’ Homes Board subdivision, which was laid out in the mid 1930s and fully developed by c.1941. The proposed Heritage Area is bounded by the north-eastern end of Stubbs Terrace, part Robinson Terrace and Olga Place (comprising 1-19 Robinson Terrace and 1-29 Stubbs Terrace, plus 2-4 Olga Place). Based on the preliminary heritage assessment, approximately 88% of the houses within this area are of Some Heritage Value (including 9 places of high authenticity and 15 places of medium authenticity). Only 3 houses were assessed as being of Little/No Heritage Value, including the 2 built as modern infill development along Olga Place. 4 In June 2016, the City of Subiaco appointed Greenward Consulting to undertake a more detailed heritage assessment of the first land release in Daglish as part of a community heritage survey. The purpose of this assessment was to determine whether or not these places form a collection of streetscapes that are eligible for listing as a Heritage Area under the Town Planning Scheme.
1.2 Study Area This community heritage survey has considered the area bounded by part Stubbs Terrace, Olga Place, part Robinson Terrace and part Troy Terrace (see Figure 1). Note: A concurrent assessment was undertaken for the adjacent c.1935 Daglish Workers’ Homes Board Subdivision.
1.3 Methodology This project has been undertaken in a manner and format that is consistent with a community consultation and professional assessment process developed and implemented for the detailed assessment of local heritage areas within Subiaco since 2012. For this report (which focuses on the professional assessment component of the process), the relevant information collated for the Preliminary Heritage Survey of the City of Subiaco Station Precincts (February 2016) was reviewed and expanded, with reference to both the general history of the precinct and the individual sites within its boundaries. In accordance with the Study Brief, this included the collation and presentation of the following information: Description of the Study Area • A concise description of the Study Area (Section 3.1); • A dot-point list of the key features/elements of the Study Area (Section 3.2). This was informed by the preparation of brief physical descriptions for each property as part of individual place records, which collectively highlighted the typical characteristics of the original residential development.

Historical Notes • A broad overview of the original subdivision and its early development (Section 3.3). This background information was sourced from the Preliminary Heritage Survey of the City of Subiaco Station Precincts (February 2016), with minor amendments and additions arising from the information revealed by the preparation of the individual place records. The latter included the preparation of some additional brief notes about the Workers’ Homes Board (reflecting the importance of this government department in the development of Daglish). • Sequence of development (Section 3.4) This has been based on an analysis of the information collated for the individual place records. • Historical Associations (Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7) Based on the research undertaken as part of the preparation of the individual place records, this has identified the organisations/companies who were associated with the development of the area, plus residents who were prominent in the local community or were otherwise public identities of the early to mid-twentieth century. • Historic Theme(s) (Section 3.8) This links the development of the Study Area to the historic themes identified in the City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework (prepared by Kristy Bizzaca for the City of Subiaco, February 2014). Place Records As part of the preparation of this report, a place record was completed for each individual property (Section 4). This was based on the City of Subiaco’s template format for this type of project, with each place record including the following information: • Address; • Photograph; Using images taken in December 2015 as part of the preparation of the Preliminary Heritage Survey of the City of Subiaco Station Precincts. • Approximate date of construction; Based on an analysis of the historical research and physical evidence. • Level of Contribution (Considerable, Some or Little/No Contribution); This was based on a professional assessment of the contribution that each place makes to the heritage values of the Study Area (broadly considering aesthetic, historic, social and research values, within the context of the development of Daglish and the City of Subiaco). The assessment was undertaken with specific reference to the relevant terminology and levels of contribution identified in the City of Subiaco’s Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance. • Historical Notes; This section includes a brief summary of the known owners and occupants through to the mid- late twentieth century. It was based on background information provided by Sofia Boranga, Coordinator Heritage & Projects, City of Subiaco (including a summary of early Rate Book and Post Office Directory entries), plus additional on-line research undertaken by Annette Green, Greenward Consulting (primarily referencing historical newspapers, electoral rolls, and family trees).

The aim of this was to determine the date of construction of each house and to provide a general understanding of the social make-up and pattern of occupation of the area during its early years of establishment. • Physical Description; This was based on a detailed review of the photographs of each house taken in December 2015, with additional streetscape inspection as required, where the desktop information was ambiguous or otherwise inadequate. It provides a dot point description of each place, typically summarising the: − Architectural style Where relevant, this was based on Apperly, R., Irving, R., Reynolds, P. A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture. Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present (1989). Where the place did not clearly illustrate a defined Architectural style, simple descriptive terms were used. − Roof form and materials − Wall materials and finishes − Form and detailing of the main façade(s) − Streetscape setting (including fencing and setbacks) − General condition (based on a brief streetscape assessment) Note: As the descriptions have been largely based on a desktop interpretation of photographic evidence, it is possible that some details may have been misinterpreted (for example French doors might be mistaken for a pair of casement windows where the bottom half of the wall is concealed by a solid verandah balustrade). However, the overall descriptions encapsulate the character and authenticity of each place sufficiently for the purpose of this report. • Key references Assessment of Significance Following the completion of the above sections, the findings were analysed as a basis for the development of a heritage assessment of the Study Area as a whole, comprising a: • Statement of Significance (Section 2.1) Prepared with reference to Sections 1 and 4 of the City of Subiaco, Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance which states that a heritage area will be of significance for the local district if: − It meets one or more of the criteria set out under the headings of Aesthetic, Historic, Scientific or Social Value; and − It demonstrates a unified or cohesive physical form in the public realm with an identifiable aesthetic, historic or social theme associated with a particular period or periods of development. • Overarching statements of integrity, authenticity, condition and rarity/representativeness for the area (Section 2.2) Prepared with reference to Section 2 of the City of Subiaco, Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance. • Summary of the contribution of the component places (Section 2.3) A graphic and tabulated summary of the level of contribution of each individual site, prepared with reference to Section 5.2 of the City of Subiaco, Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance.

2 ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
2.1 Assessment of Cultural Heritage Values The following assessment of the Study Area against the criteria set out in the City of Subiaco’s Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance underpins the Statement of Significance in Section 2.3. Aesthetic Value In accordance with Section 1.1 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Aesthetic Value is defined as follows: It is significant in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics. A place or area included under this criterion will have characteristics of scale, composition, materials, texture and colour that are considered to have value to the City of Subiaco. This may encompass: • Creative or design excellence; • The contribution of a place to the quality of its setting; • Landmark quality; or • A contribution to important vistas. In the case of a conservation area, the individual components will collectively form a streetscape, townscape, or cultural environment with significant aesthetic characteristics. The subdivision pattern of the 1925 Daglish Land Release, and its current form and urban character, illustrate aspects of the distinctive town planning style known as the Garden Suburb Movement, including: − Its identity as a distinct and relatively spacious modern suburb of the Inter-War era; − Its design as a cellular domestic neighbourhood, where non-residential uses were not permitted; − The hierarchical arrangement of streets, separating local traffic from through-traffic (with the latter defined by wider streets); − The use of curved forms within the street layout (contrasting with the traditional grid layout); − The use of short cross streets which could underpin social interaction and the development of close-knit local communities; − The inclusion of planned public reserves (including a semi-enclosed community reserve bounded primarily by rear lanes); − Its development with well-built detached dwellings; − The provision of ample space for lawns and flower beds at the front of the house, with open frontages or low front fences contributing to the overall garden setting of the streetscape; − Space for the development of tree lined streets with generous grassed verges. More than 80% of the houses within the 1925 Daglish Land Release were constructed in the period 1927 to 1939 and this relatively short period of development has provided the legacy of a good representative collection of modest suburban houses of the Inter-War era, set within cohesive streetscapes. The majority of these houses were realized in the fairly conventional form of single-storey face-brick and/or rendered dwellings with simple stepped facades and gable-hipped or hipped tiled roofs. Variations in the application of wall materials and finishes, verandah and porch detailing, and gable detailing provide a sense of diversity and interest to what were essentially relatively modest suburban streetscapes, dominated by detailing and finishes associated with the popular California Bungalow style.

City of Subiaco – Community Heritage Survey 8
About 33% of the houses within the 1925 Daglish Land Release were constructed under the Workers’ Homes Board (WHB) or War Service Homes schemes. After 1930, these houses largely eschewed the prominent verandah and gable detailing associated with the California Bungalow and were instead designed with distinctive entrance porches (often with subtle detailing inspired by Functionalist, Mediterranean, Free Classical or Spanish Mission styles), paired with hipped roofs and hipped or flat window awnings. While these remained broadly consistent in scale, form and materials (and continued to include a wide array of fine scale variations to their design) they are generally easily recognisable by contrast to the more conservative private and speculative suburban development of neighbouring properties. None of the houses within the 1925 Daglish Land Release have been assessed as being individually significant, but collectively they provide a good representative example of suburban development in Subiaco (and the Perth metropolitan area more generally) during the mid-late Inter-War era.
Historic Value In accordance with Section 1.2 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Historic Value is defined as follows: A place or area included under this criterion should: • Be closely associated with events, developments or cultural phases that have played an important part in the City of Subiaco's history; • Have a special association with a person, group of people or organisation important in shaping the City of Subiaco (either as the product or workplace of a person or group, or the site of a particular event connected with them); or • Be an example of technical or creative achievement from a particular period. The 1925 Daglish Land Release was laid out at a time when the older parts of Subiaco were reaching capacity and it provided opportunities for the reinvigoration of the district with a modern garden suburb. The 1925 Daglish Land Release helps to illustrate the integration of public and private housing, which was one of the ways in which the Workers’ Homes Board (WHB) achieved its aim of providing housing for those least able to afford it on their own. As such it provides an interesting contrast with the adjacent subdivision to the north-east where a separate land release was used solely for this purpose under the WHB leasehold system (see the separate assessment of the c.1935 Workers’ Homes Board Subdivision bounded by Robinson Terrace and Stubbs Terrace). The houses built within the 1925 Daglish Land Release represent a realization of the aspirations of white collar workers, retail employees and skilled tradesmen to own their own home in an affordable, modern suburb, served by good public transport and established retail and community centres. The research undertaken for the individual houses confirms that the area particularly attracted young married couples as the original residents. The success of the 1925 Daglish Land Release as a cohesive domestic neighbourhood is illustrated by the relative stability of the population through the mid-twentieth century – with approximately 60% of the families who settled here prior to WWII remaining in their original houses for more than 20 years, and a further 20% staying for 10 to 20 years.

Scientific Value In accordance with Section 1.3 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Scientific Value is defined as follows: Criterion 3A: It has demonstrable potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the natural and cultural history of the local district. A place included under this criterion should: • Be a standing structure or archaeological deposit; • Be an important benchmark or reference site; or • Should provide or demonstrate a likelihood of providing evidence about past activity. • Show a high standard of design skill and originality, or innovative use of materials, in response to particular climatic or landform conditions, or a specific functional requirement, or to meet the challenge of a particular site. The information should be inherent in the fabric of the place. Criterion 3B: It is significant in demonstrating a high degree of technical innovation or achievement. A place included under this criterion should: • Show qualities of innovation or represent a new achievement for its time; • Demonstrate breakthroughs in design or places that extend the limits of technology; or • Show a high standard of design skill and originality, or innovative use of materials, in response to particular climatic or landform conditions, or a specific functional requirement, or to meet the challenge of a particular site. The Study area has been assessed as having no particular Scientific Values.
Social Value In accordance with Section 1.4 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Social Value is defined as follows: Criterion 4: It is significant through association with a community or cultural group in the local district for social, cultural, educational or spiritual reasons. A place included under this criterion should: • Be a place that the community, or a significant part of the community has held in regard for an extended period of time. • Be a public place, or places distinctive in the local landscape, which makes a contribution to the local 'sense of place' and local identity. The 1925 Daglish Land Release has a distinctive “sense of place” within Subiaco, arising from the application of Garden Suburb design principles to its subdivision and its development within a relatively short time-frame during the Inter-War era.
2.2 Rarity/Representativeness, Integrity, Authenticity and Condition Rarity/Representativeness In accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, this is defined as follows: Rarity Criterion 5: It demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of the cultural heritage of the local district. A place or area under this criterion should: • Provide evidence of a defunct custom, way of life or process; • Demonstrate a custom, way of life or process that is in danger of being lost; or • Demonstrate a building function, design or technique of exceptional interest.
Heritage Assessment of the 1925 Daglish Land Release: Assessment Greenward Consulting August 2016
City of Subiaco – Community Heritage Survey 10
Representativeness Criterion 6: It is significant in demonstrating the characteristics of a class of cultural places or environments in the local district. A place included under this criterion should: • Provide a good example of its type; • Be representative of a common building or construction type, a particular period or way of life, the work of a particular builder or architect, or an architectural style; or • Have a high level of authenticity. The study area includes a good representative collection of mid-late Inter-War and immediate post- WWII houses developed in a cohesive manner within a mid-1920s Garden Suburb subdivision.
Integrity In accordance with Section 2.3 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Integrity is defined as: The extent to which a building retains its original function, generally graded on a scale of High, Medium or Low. This report has found that the overall integrity of the 1925 Daglish Land Release as a collection of Inter-War and immediate post-WWII houses (dating from the period c.1927 to 1950) is high.
Authenticity In accordance with Section 2.3 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Authenticity is defined as: The extent to which the fabric is in its original state, generally graded on a scale of High, Medium or Low. The preparation of the individual place records has confirmed that most of the original houses within the study area have undergone some degree of adaptation and/or extension to meet modern living standards (which is to be expected for houses constructed 70-90 years ago). Typical changes include rear extensions, new fencing, modification of the front or side setbacks to accommodate cars and re-roofing. However, the original houses (as viewed from the street) have, overall, retained a medium to high level of authenticity.
Condition In accordance with Section 2.3 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, Condition is defined as: The current state of the place in relation to the values for which that place has been assessed, and is generally graded on the scale of Good, Fair or Poor. This has been applied as follows: Good - a building was considered to be in good condition if, when seen from the street, if it showed little/no obvious signs of defects or deterioration, and was generally well maintained. This allowed for some minor but reparable defects, and/or minor neglect (such as some areas of peeling paint). Fair - a building was considered to be in fair condition if, when seen from the street, if it showed some defects which were readily repairable, but would require greater intervention than simple day-to- day maintenance (such as evidence of rising damp or minor structural cracking) Poor - a building was considered to be in poor condition if, when seen from the street, if was in a particularly severe state of neglect or disrepair. Based on the streetscape survey, the buildings in the study area appear to be generally well maintained and in good condition. Within the public realm, the roads, verges and street trees are also generally well maintained.

2.3 Statement of Significance The 1925 Daglish Land Release, is of cultural heritage significance within the City of Subiaco for the following reasons: • The residential subdivision of the former railway reserve along the north-western side of the railway line provided an important opportunity for the reinvigoration of the district at a time when the older parts of Subiaco were reaching capacity; • The subdivision pattern, and its current form and urban character, illustrate aspects of the distinctive town planning style known as the Garden Suburb Movement; • The development of the majority (>80%) of the lots within a relatively short period (1927 to 1939) created a distinctive local character and “sense of place”; • While none of the houses have been assessed as being individually significant, they are collectively a good representative collection of modest Inter-War suburban houses, set within cohesive streetscapes; • While the scale, form and massing of these places is generally consistent, the individual house designs and variations in the application of wall materials and finishes, verandah and porch detailing, and gable detailing provide a sense of diversity and interest; • About one third of the houses within the 1925 Daglish Land Release were constructed under the Workers’ Homes Board or War Service Homes schemes. The area therefore helps to illustrate the integration of public and private housing, which was one of the ways in which the Workers’ Homes Board achieved its aim of providing housing (and an opportunity for home ownership) for those least able to afford it on their own; • The houses built within the 1925 Daglish Land Release represent a realization of the aspirations of white collar workers, retail employees, skilled tradesmen to own their own home in an affordable, modern suburb, served by good public transport and established retail and community centres; • The success of the 1925 Daglish Land Release as a cohesive domestic neighbourhood is illustrated by the relative stability of the population through the mid-twentieth century – with approximately 60% of the families who settled here prior to WWII remaining in their original houses for more than 20 years.

2.4 Levels of Contribution In accordance with Section 5.2 of Planning Policy 3.5, Assessment of Cultural Heritage Significance, this study has assessed the contribution that each place makes to the cultural heritage values and heritage character of the 1925 Daglish Land Release, as viewed from the street. This has been based on a streetscape assessment and a review of the readily available documentary evidence and has been applied as follows: Considerable Contribution - These houses appear to have retained a high level of authenticity although many have undergone major rear additions/alterations, minor alterations to the detailing and finishes of the main façade and/or changes to the treatment of front gardens and boundary fencing. Some Contribution - The original design characteristics of these houses can still be readily understood, but changes to the built fabric of the main façade(s), such as the rendering or painting of important areas of original face brickwork, have diminished their authenticity to varying degrees. Little/No Contribution - These houses were either built after the core period of development (which runs from 1927 to c.1949) or have undergone major changes to the design of the main façade(s) in a manner that has obscured the original style and/or scale of the place (irrespective of whether these changes have been undertaken in a manner that interprets original detailing and/or respects the traditional streetscape). As outlined in more detail on the place records, the 132 land parcels with the Study Area (including the two public reserves) have been assessed as follows: • Considerable contribution: 53 properties (approximately 40%) • Some Contribution: 49 properties (approximately 37%) • Little/No Contribution: 30 properties (approximately 23%)

3 MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the assessment of significance (see Section 2), the 1925 Daglish Land Release is of cultural heritage significance within the City of Subiaco and warrants identification as a Heritage Area under the Town Planning Scheme. This relates specifically to the streetscape characteristics of the Inter- War and early post WWII properties identified as being of considerable or some contribution, and to the public setting of these places. Management of these places, and of new development, would be best achieved by application of the City of Subiaco’s Development Guidelines for Residential Conservation Areas (adopted 26 November 2013), with additional reference to the specific cultural heritage significance and characteristics of the 1925 Daglish Land Release. Separate listing of individual houses in the Heritage List under the Town Planning Scheme would not be required to achieve heritage outcomes relevant to these places.

4 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION 4.1 Description of the Study Area The study area includes good representative examples of modest Inter-War houses (plus a small number of compatible houses dating from the immediate post-WWII era) that were developed in a ‘desirable’ new garden suburb in close proximity to existing public transport routes and the established community, commercial and industrial centres of Subiaco. The blocks in Daglish were of a more generous size than many of those in the older parts of Subiaco, with a typical size of about 15.2m wide x 40 to 43m deep (approximately 610 to 650m2). Front setbacks were generous (typically in the order of 6 to 8m) and traditional low front fences created open streetscapes with a focus on garden settings. In keeping with the underlying garden suburb theme of the subdivision, the road reserves were wide (25 to 30 m to the main traffic routes along Stubbs Terrace and McCallum Street, and 20m to the secondary streets). Each of the short cross-streets linking Stubbs Terrace and Troy Terrace has a modest road width of approximately 5.5 to 7m wide, allowing for wide grassed verges which, over time, have been planted with themed street trees – brush box (Lophostemon confertous) to Hickey Avenue, Lutey Avenue and Richardson Terrace; peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa) to McCallum Avenue and Robinson Terrace; and coral trees (Erythrina) to Munise and Willcock Avenues. Stubbs Terrace was planted with brush box, while Troy Terrace has mixed plantings along its length. Some individual street trees are inconsistent with the street theme and some sections of the grassed verges have been developed with garden beds, but the overall traditional character remains clearly evident. Of the 129 houses within the study area (plus once vacant residential site), 52 (approximately 40%) have been assessed as making a considerable contribution to its heritage character, while 48 (approximately 37%) have been assessed as making some contribution (the latter having undergone alterations such as changes to the original finishes and/or additions which have impacted on the streetscape character of each place). Only 29 houses plus the vacant site have been assessed as making little/no contribution. (See also Section 2.3). With a high proportion of blocks purchased by young married couples, and a significant number of Workers’ Homes Board properties, these houses were not particularly large or grand. The privately developed homes were typically quite conservative. The majority had plan forms not dissimilar to those used throughout Subiaco since the early twentieth century, with stepped frontages featuring a projecting side wing on one side. These had applied decoration that was typically inspired by the popular Inter-War California Bungalow style, with gable-hipped tiled roofs featuring prominent street front gables; vertical timber gable battens; deep verandahs; robust verandah posts; solid verandah balustrade walls; and a varied use of face-brick and rendered wall finishes over rock-faced stone foundations. Interestingly, in the post 1930 years, the architects responsible for the design of the Workers’ Homes Board (WHB) houses largely shunned the common ongoing influence of the popular California Bungalow style. Instead they adopted more restrained detailing, including an increasing use of hipped roof forms; simplified use of materials and finishes; and smaller entrance porches - with some traces of alternative architectural styles, including Inter-War Free Classical, Inter-War Spanish Mission, Inter-war Functionalist and Inter-War Mediterranean. While these houses still varied widely in their fine scale detailing, many had a clearly recognisable underlying character. Within the 1925 Daglish Land Release the street trees, verge treatments, building scale, building materials, setbacks and the Inter-War era architectural styles, provide an overall sense of consistency, while the individual designs and detailing of the houses add a richness and complexity to the urban environment. While none of the component streetscapes can be described as fully

City of Subiaco – Community Heritage Survey 18 intact, the original character of the suburban development is still clearly recognisable and the area has, overall, retained a medium to high degree of authenticity and integrity. A dot point list of the key characteristics noted as part of the field surveys and the assessment of the individual properties has been included in Section 4.2. More detailed descriptions and photographs of each house have been included in Section 5 of this report.
4.2 Key Features/ Elements • Mature street trees – traditionally brush box (Lophostemon confertous) to Hickey Avenue, Lutey Avenue, Richardson Terrace and Stubbs Terrace; peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa) to McCallum Avenue and Robinson Terrace; and coral trees (Erythrina) to Munise and Willcock Avenues; • Wide grassed verges with concrete paths adjacent to the front boundaries of the residential lots; • Generally consistent block widths of approx. 15m; • Generous front setbacks, typically in the order of 6 to 8m (but ranging from around 4.5m to 17m); • Traditionally, front boundaries were defined by low brick walls, timber rail and wire mesh fences, or other open treatments. These have been largely replaced by timber picket fences (typically in styles influenced by the earlier Federation era) or by modern fences with tall masonry posts and infill panels of metal bars; • Clear separation of the houses along side setbacks; • Dominant use of decorative elements and forms derived from the California Bungalow style. • Recognisable use of alternative architectural forms and detailing by the Workers’ Homes Board in the 1930s. • Single storey houses (with only three examples where attic rooms appear to have been included as part of the original design); • Predominantly asymmetrical, stepped facades, with a projecting wing on one side of the main frontage; • A breakdown of the apparent bulk of the main façades through the use of design elements such as varied roof forms, stepped facades, recessed entry bays and projecting verandahs/porches; • Gable-hipped roofs to earlier houses with an increasing use of more restrained hipped roof forms during the 1930s. • Terracotta or autumn-toned tile roof cladding; • Common use of variations of rams-horn (curved outwards scroll) or ball-capped style terracotta finials, particularly for houses influenced by the California Bungalow style; • Wide eaves, typically with exposed roof timbers for houses influenced by the California Bungalow style, but with an increasing use of lined eaves from the mid 1930s; • Chimneys detailed to match the finishes and detailing of the main façade; • Increasing expression of external chimney breasts as an important design element along the side or front façade from the mid 1930s; • Front gables with vertical timber battens for houses influenced by the California Bungalow style; These are typically full gables to earlier houses, with an increasing use of half-happed gables over time. • Increasing use of simplified front gables during the 1930s, particularly for Workers Homes’ Board houses.

These included some fine scale contrasting detailing to gable vents and/or decorative details such as ‘broken pediment’ or corbelled eaves, but eschewed the previously ubiquitous timber battens. • Varied combinations and balances of face-brick and rendered finishes to the main facades; Note: one of the common alterations to the original houses has been the rendering or painting of original face-brick detailing, which has diminished the richness of the detailing and reduced the authenticity of these places. • Predominance of red brick transitioning to an increased use of dappled red to liver coloured brick in the late 1930s; • Contrasting rock-faced stone foundations; • Prominent projecting verandahs with robust masonry posts and solid masonry verandah balustrade walls, transitioning to an increasing use of smaller (but still robust) entrance porches during the 1930s (particularly for houses designed by the Workers’ Homes Board); • Varied detailing to masonry verandah posts, typically with combinations of square and tapered profiles, projecting slab caps, corbelled detailing and variations of form/scale between the lower and upper sections; • Occasional use of contrasting paired timber posts, ‘classical’ round columns or fluted square columns to the upper sections of verandah posts; • Occasional use of full height ‘classical’ columns to verandahs; • Varied detailing to verandah balustrades, but typically featuring solid masonry walls under a slightly projecting slab cap for houses inspired by the California Bungalow style; • Increasing use of wrought iron balustrades to porch openings from the late 1930s; • Varied finishes to verandah posts and walls, typically with combinations of contrasting smooth render, roughcast render, face-brick and/or stone; • Common use of prominent cement rendered entrance steps, flanked by low, outward curving side walls; • Common use of traditional casement windows, but with an increasing use of double hung windows over time; • Early predominance of triple casement windows, but with a trend towards narrow casement or double hung windows set either side of a larger fixed central pane; • Common use of leadlight windows. These range from simple rectangular or diamond patterns through to complex decorative designs typically with an underlying geometric theme. The latter often included varied textures and forms, but with no use of stained glass; • Alternative use of timber window mullions, often with small square panes to the upper part of the sash; • Increasing use of horizontal window mullions dividing each window into ‘stacks’ of rectangular panes from the late 1930s; • Early predominance of raked window awnings, transitioning to an increasing popularity of hipped or flat awnings during the 1930s.

4.3 Historical notes 7 The area now known as Daglish remained as an undeveloped railway reserve until the mid-1920s. The first part of the suburb was surveyed in 1925, in the area bounded by Troy Terrace, part of Robinson Street, what is now Olga Place, Stubbs Terrace, the southern end of Cunningham Terrace and Millington Avenue. Land at the south-western end of the subdivision was reserved for future development by the Workers’ Homes Board, while land within the Study Area (the first land release) was offered for sale to the general public at an auction in October 1925: One hundred and eighteen lots of land, each 50ft wide by a depth of 132ft, which prior to sub- division comprised a railway reserve on the ocean side of the Daglish railway station, between Subiaco and West Subiaco, will be offered for sale by auction by the Government Auctioneer (Mr. A. Clerk) at the Piccadilly ball room, Hay-street, on Wednesday night, at 8 o'clock. Thirty-two lots at the western [south-western] end have been set apart for workers' homes, and will be handled by the Workers' Homes Board. The sale has been advertised in Western Australia and the Eastern States for about a month. The upset prices of the blocks range from £50 to £100, and the terms of payment are 10 p.c. deposit and the balance by quarterly payments over two years without interest.8 The newspapers of the day included very few references to Daglish as part of the garden suburb movement, but modern analysis by organisations such as the National Trust of Australia (WA) and the Art Deco Society has referred to the links between its development and the principles of this town planning style. Additional investigation for this report has further considered this issue as follows. In 1921, a publication by John Sulman, titled An Introduction to the Study of Town Planning in Australia,9 described the features that distinguished a garden suburb from an ‘ordinary’ suburb as: … the allocation of special quarters or sites for each kind of building, the absence of congestion of dwellings and their better arrangement, the ample provision of parks, playgrounds and open space, the planting with trees and grass of part of the width of the roads where not required for traffic, and the provision of greater opportunities for social intercourse …” An academic analysis of the garden suburb movement published in the late twentieth century concluded: ….. In a sense, then, the garden suburb could become what anyone wished to make of it. The attractive features captured in Sulman’s definition could be found in proposals and actual schemes differing vastly in purpose, tone and institutional arrangements. The common denominator was the promise of a new physical design for urban living, a blueprint beyond both inner city slumdom and conventional gridiron subdivision.”10 Research undertaken for this heritage assessment indicates that Daglish embodied the principles of the garden suburb movement in a number of ways, including: − Its identity as a distinct and relatively spacious modern suburb; − Its design as a cellular domestic neighbourhood, where non-residential uses were not permitted; − The hierarchical arrangement of streets, separating local traffic from through-traffic (with the latter defined by wider streets);

− The use of curved forms within the street layout (contrasting with the traditional grid layout); − The use of short cross streets which could underpin social interaction and the development of close-knit local communities; − The inclusion of planned public reserves (including a semi-enclosed community reserve bounded primarily by rear lanes); − Its development with well-built detached dwellings; − The provision of ample space for lawns and flower beds at the front of the house, with open frontages or low front fences contributing to the overall garden setting of the streetscape; − Space for the development of tree lined streets with generous grassed verges. At the beginning of November 1925, it was reported that 96 blocks of 110 offered for sale in Daglish had been purchased at prices between £50 and £152.11 This article listed the names of all the purchasers with the lot number and the price paid. Immediate development was, however, impeded by a lack of services: … many of the owners desire to utilise their holdings for building purposes but are checked by the absence of a water supply and other facilities. The Municipal Council has made ample provision for the construction of roads and footpaths, electric lighting, and sanitary service, and has asked that the Water Supply Department should provide mains for the reticulation of the new townsite with the least possible delay. The department however, desires to be satisfied that the extension of the mains is justified and that funds are available on the estimates for the works …12 It was not until December 1926 that it was reported that the Water Supply Department planned to commence the work and, despite the “ample provision” made by the Subiaco Council, road development was minimal during the early years of development. Slag from Monteath’s foundry was used to form the primary streets of Stubbs, Troy and Richardson Terraces, but the other roads remained sandy tracks until well into the 1930s. 13 The first house was completed during 1927 and research indicates that this was 125 Stubbs Terrace, which was the home of a railway employee, Daniel Joseph Duggan. Towards the end of 1928, the Subiaco annual report noted that “25 brick residences of good design” had been erected during the reporting period.14 This broadly corresponds with the entries in the Western Australian Post Office Directory of 1929, which listed 28 houses - 4 in Hickey Avenue, 4 in Lutey Avenue, 2 in McCallum Avenue, 2 in Richardson Terrace, 1 in Robinson Terrace, 11 in Stubbs Terrace, 2 in Troy Street and 2 in Willcock Avenue. 15 The early development of the suburb was recorded in a newspaper article in August 1936: Ten years ago Daglish did not exist; now it is a thriving suburb, containing well designed and well built modern homes …. Daglish has an area of about 700 acres; in 1926 it was scrub. Now it possesses hundreds of attractive houses, and is purely a residential area, the erection of shops within its boundaries being forbidden. Streets are wide, so wide that well cultivated lawns on the footpaths almost dwarf the private lawns on the other side of low stone fences. Not all the streets are so well developed for Daglish is a new suburb, but there are everywhere indications of progress. Houses are still being erected, and there is a clean newness about the district, with its

concrete kerbs and modern roofs contrasting with native trees still standing in their sturdy ruggedness. Daglish had its beginning as a town site in 1925, when 99 blocks of land were sold by the Lands Department ….. The first house was erected in 1927, a brick residence for Mr. D. J. Duggan, in Stubbs-terrace and 11 other pioneers obtained building permits during the year. An estimated loss of £15 for a year on water installation was guaranteed to the Water Supply Department by the Subiaco Council, which also extended electric light mains. During the next three years 40 more houses were erected, and streets were cleared and roads made. Sewerage reticulation was commenced by the Water Supply Department, and tennis courts were constructed. The period of economic depression almost halted development. In 1930-31 only four building permits were issued, and only five in the following year. In 1932-33, however, commenced the real expansion of the district. The sub-division was extended, and the Workers’ Homes Board made 30 blocks available for building purposes. Fifteen building permits were issued, followed by 20 in 1933-34 and 19 in 1934- 35. In the latter year the main drainage system was completed by the Water Supply Department. During the last 12 months a further subdivision by the Workers' Homes Board at the eastern [north-eastern] end of Daglish made another 33 blocks available, and a further 19 building permits were issued. A new footbridge has been erected over the railway line, adding to the accessibility of the suburb, and Stubbs-terrace is being extended through to Hay-street to allow through traffic. Thus, in the course of ten years, Daglish has developed from uninhabited bush to a pretty residential area accommodating 500 or 600 people in modern homes. 16 As noted in Section 4.4, below, approximately 60% of the original 128 building blocks had been developed within 10 years of the first land release and over 80% within 15 years, which has underpinned the strong character of this part of Daglish as a distinctive Inter-War suburb. The local demographic was dominated by young married couples, who were building their first homes. Women typically remained at home to raise young families while their husbands were typically employed as white collar workers, retail employees or skilled tradesmen (see Section 4.7, below). Very few houses were placed on the rental market and there was a strong sense of stability within the local community, as illustrated by the research undertaken for this report which found that, of the families who settled here prior to WWII, approximately 60% remained in their original houses for more than 20 years, with a further 20% staying for 10 to 20 years. The other point of interest was the integration of public and private housing within the 1925 subdivision. As discussed in more detail in Section 4.5, the readily available information indicates that 29 of the 107 pre-1940 houses were constructed with government assistance through the Workers Homes’ Board and a further 6 with assistance from the War Service Homes Commission (a total of approximately 33%). This followed a long history of the development of Workers’ Homes Board housing in Subiaco, which commenced shortly after the Scaddan Government’s introduction of the Workers Home Act of 1911. 17 Further research would be required to determine if the WHB houses within the 1925 Land Release were all developed under the Board’s freehold system or if some pockets (such as the north-eastern side of McCallum Avenue) were developed under the leasehold system.
16 The West Australian 24 August 1936 p 9 17 One of the first WHB houses in Subiaco was built at 117 Heytesbury Road in 1913. The original and long-term occupants of this house were Edith and Bowen Jones – the step-daughter and son-in-law of Bartholomew James Stubbs (M.L.A.), after whom Stubbs Terrace in Daglish was later named. The construction of at least one other WHB house had commenced in Hensman Road, Subiaco, in August 1912.

In 1935, as part of a visit to Western Australia by the War Services Homes Commissioner18 it was reported that: The inspection of a large number of [WHB] homes had indicated the important advance which had been made in the design of homes of moderate accommodation. Since the previous visit some eight years ago, homes of pleasing yet inexpensive design had been erected in various suburbs, a noteworthy example having been West Subiaco. It would be difficult to point to a group of more effective designs in any of the other capital cities, and the opinion was expressed that the modern homes in Western Australia did not suffer in a comparison with homes in the Eastern States. In what might be regarded as reorganisation of architectural design, the Workers' Homes Board occupied a leading position.19 While this was at least partly a promotional article for the work of the WHB, it also recognizes the work of the WHB drawing office towards achieving cost effective, efficient and modern designs for modest houses, suitable for the budgets of the working classes. The change in the design of the WHB houses after the Depression years is clearly illustrated in Daglish, and represents a mid-late inter-war era transition towards more functional and restrained suburban housing. While the houses erected by the WHB in Daglish during the 1930s were well-built and varied widely in their fine scale detailing, most had a clearly recognisable underlying architectural character which, at close inspection, distinguishes them from the contemporary privately built houses in the immediate neighbourhood.
4.4 Sequence of development The research undertaken for this report indicates that, of the 129 houses currently located within the Study Area: • 46 were constructed in c.1927 to 1929 (approximately 35%); • 31 in c.1930 to 1934 (approximately 24%); • 29 in c.1935 to 1939 (approximately 22%); • 5 in c.1940 to 1942 (approximately 4%); • 11 in the early post-WWII years, c.1948 to 1953 (approximately 8%). Only 4 houses were constructed in the mid twentieth century (c.1954-1964) and 3 in the late twentieth century (one of these replacing an original house and the other two being built on subdivided blocks). The house on the vacant lot in Munise Avenue was demolished in c.2016.
18 Note: During this period, the Workers’ Homes Board undertook the design and construction of houses on behalf of the War Service Homes Commission in Western Australia. 19 The West Australian 4 October 1935 p 24

4.5 Associations – Workers Homes Board
The majority of the houses within the first land release in Daglish appear to have been built by the private sector, but the readily available information indicates that 29 of the 107 pre-1940 houses were constructed with government assistance through the Workers Homes’ Board and a further 6 pre-1940 houses with assistance from the War Service Homes Commission (a total of approximately 33%). The Workers’ Homes Board houses were scattered across the area, with at least one in every street except for Troy Terrace and Lutey Avenue. However there was a particular concentration of this type of development in McCallum and Willcock Avenues - where 10 of the 14 houses, and 8 of the 14 houses respectively were built through the Workers’ Homes Board scheme (with another 3 on the adjacent section of Stubbs Terrace). The 6 pre-WWII War Service Homes were all built in the late 1920s and included 4 in Lutey Avenue, 1 in Robinson Terrace and 1 in Stubbs Terrace. At least one post WWII War Service Home was built in Daglish, this being located in Munsie Avenue. In 1931, Albert Ernest (Paddy) Clare was appointed as the Principal Architect to the Workers’ Homes Board (in conjunction with his position as the Principal Architect of the Public Works Department), while other architects worked under his supervision, including Zoie Bennett who accepted an appointment with the WHB at the end of 1935. Bennett remained at the WHB until 1941 when she relocated to Victoria (at which time Margaret Fielman was promoted to being in charge of the WHB drawing office). 22 Further research would be required to identify other architects working for the WHB in the period c.1927 to 1949. In 1938, the operation of the Workers’ Homes Board scheme was described as follows: The first Labor Government to be in office and also in power, by virtue of its own sufficient majority in the House, was elected in October, 1911, and in its first session the Workers' Homes Act was enacted …….. The workers' homes scheme is, and always has been, essentially a homebuilding scheme for the workers …… In the twenty-six years since the first application for a workers' home was approved, a total of 4579 homes have been built under the aegis of the Workers' Homes Board, of a total value of £1,673,475…... When the Act was passed in 1911, the maximum authorised advance was £550, thus emphasising that the new legislation was, and was intended to be, of service to those whose needs ran only to the most modest type of home; but as the costs of building went up, the limit was progressively extended until to-day advances up to £800 are authorised. The Scheme Outlined An eligible applicant for an advance for the building or acquiring of a home is one who is not in receipt of an income of more than £400 per annum, and who neither himself nor his wife owns a dwelling-house, and assistance may be granted to (a) A married man who desires assistance to acquire a home for himself, wife and family; (b) A single man or woman with dependants for whom it is necessary to provide a home; (c) A single man about to marry; (d) A widowed mother who desires a home for herself and family;

(e) Jointly to husband and wife. ……… Under the freehold section of the Act the maximum advance is £800 and applicants are required to find at least 10 per cent, of the total value of the proposal. The Board's valuation of the land can form part or all of the 10 per cent. Where the cost of the home is more than £800 the applicant is required to provide the amount in excess of £800, in addition to the land. Plans and specifications are prepared by the Board at a charge to the applicant of one per cent., based on the tender price. Interest payable on loans under this section is 6 per cent., less ½ per cent, rebate if instalments are paid within seven days of the due date. Instalments are payable on the first of each month and include interest on the balance outstanding, and a partial repayment of the principal. The maximum terms of the loans are: Brick dwelling, 35 years; wooden dwelling, 25 years. To repay £100 the monthly instalments are: 35 years, 11/5; 25 years,12/11. Thus on an advance of £800 for a brick dwelling for a term of 35 years, the monthly instalment is £4/11/4; a similar loan on a wooden dwelling for 25 years, £5/3/4 per month ……… Generally, the Board prepares all plans and specifications, calls tenders and carries out the supervision for all homes erected for its approved applicants. No objection, however, is raised to plans, specifications, and supervision being carried out by a registered architect, but practically all applicants require the Board to carry out the work, as the fees charged by the Board are: Plans preparation, 1 per cent; supervision, ½ per cent.: making a total of 1½ per cent, on the cost of the dwelling. £5 Down Secures a Home Applicants can be assisted to obtain homes on the leasehold system. Certain lands in various districts have been dedicated to this section of the Act. The land is subject to perpetual lease and ground rent is charged on the appraised value of the land at three per centum per annum, subject to reappraisement every twenty years. The total cost of a dwelling under leasehold conditions must not exceed £800 and applicants are required to pay a deposit as prescribed by the Board, the minimum deposit being £5. After completion of payment of the capital cost of the house, a leaseholder may acquire the freehold of the land on payment of the cost at the last appraised value.23 The scale of the operations of the WHB across Western Australia in the mid 1930s was indicated in a newspaper report in January 1937: During the year ended June 30, 1936, the Workers' Homes Board spent £44,845 on construction work, building 55 houses, of which 20 were freehold and 35 were leasehold [similar statistics to the 1934-35 financial year, when 49 houses were completed]. In recent years by far the most popular section of the Act has been that dealing with the provision of houses under the leasehold system, whereby an applicant is provided with a house costing up to £800 on land provided by the board …….24

4.6 Associations – Builder/Developers While Daglish was the focus for settlement by owner/occupiers, and many purchased vacant lots and arranged the construction of their own homes, builder/developers are also known to have been active in the area. For example, the firm of Dudley and Dwyer, Ltd, is known to have been involved in speculative developments in the district during the inter-war era and to have constructed at least 80 houses in the Subiaco/Daglish area in the 1920s.25 Dudley and Dwyer, Ltd, evolved from a small property management business that was established in 1913 by a former tramways employee, Thomas Dudley (who lived at 237 Nicholson Road, Subiaco in c.1915-1923). When Dudley entered into partnership with Laurence Dwyer in 1919, they initially advertised as Dudley and Dwyer, Auctioneers, but the following advertisement confirms that they were involved in housing development by 1922 (see also Figure 5): To do the people of the State a public benefit is the aim of a firm of Estate Agents and Builders, and the fact that they can show workers they have placed many people in possession of their own homes is the proof of the fact. To stop a worker from paying rent all his life is even more than all your Acts of Parliament will do. Any worker who wishes to buy a home on a small deposit or without a deposit should see Dudley and Dwyer, at 41 Barrack-street. Also they will build brick or Jarrah houses anywhere on very easy terms. Their motto is: Live in Your Own Home.26 Houses were built by Dudley and Dwyer across the Perth suburbs including Subiaco, West Subiaco and Daglish. Building permits for the Subiaco district included a number where they were constructing up to five houses at the same time in a single street, which indicates that the firm was acquiring land for speculative development as well as undertaking individual contracts. This firm’s activity in Daglish is confirmed by numerous newspaper reports and advertisements, including the following: HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE. The board of directors of Dudley and Dwyer, Ltd., consisting of Mr. J. T. Franklin (chairman), Messr's. T. A. Dudley and L. J. Dwyer (managing directors), Dr. A. J. Wright and Mr. J. Beith Wilson, together with the secretary of the company, Mr. P. J. Dolan, spent most of last Saturday on an inspection of the company's buildings which have just been completed or are in the course of erection. Inspections were made of brick houses, costing from about £800 to £1,000, situated at Inglewood, Mt. Hawthorn, Leederville, Churchlands, Daglish, West Subiaco and Nedlands, and in all cases the buildings appeared to be faithfully built and with an eye to convenience, economy of space, and ventilation. Septic tanks are now being installed in all houses. In acquiring land the company endeavours to secure that in a high position. A very large number of homes has been built by this firm in suburbs extending from Fremantle to Inglewood; and at present it has over thirty houses in the course of construction. And Agents report that a good demand continues for houses and vacant land. This must be regarded as a hearty sign of the times, for with the continued activity in building it would not have been surprising if inquiries had fallen off. During the past month Messrs. Dudley and Dwyer Ltd., have disposed of houses and vacant land of an aggregate value of £8,610. Sales include properties in Fremantle, Nedlands, Subiaco, Daglish, Perth and Cottesloe.27

Note: No street address was provided but, based on a comparison with the current houses, this advertisement could have referred to 6 Hickey Avenue, 11 McCallum Avenue, 143 Stubbs Terrace or 149 Stubbs Terrace, Daglish (all of which date from c.1928 and have very similar detailing). This would be consistent with Dudley and Dwyer Ltd using a selection of ‘standard’ plans for the construction of speculative and/or commissioned housing developments across the metropolitan area.

The involvement of other builders in speculative development in this area is revealed by other advertisements, such as the following: DAGLISH (new town site). Robinson-ter. A modern Brick Home, with a magnificent stone front, tiled roof, 3 large rooms and kitchen, tiled stove and gas recess, built-in cupboards, interior bathroom (tiled) en. bath and basin, verandahs, sleep-out and septic tank, handy to train and tram. A personal inspection of this pretty home is more eloquent than words. C. A. Frank, Builder.28
4.7 Associations - Residents Research undertaken for this report indicates that the first land subdivision in Daglish primarily attracted young married couples, who were building their first, and typically modest, homes. The occupations of the original owners who settled in the area in the pre-WWII period (as identified through the Electoral Rolls) included the following: • Accountants (5) • Married or unmarried women who gave • Attendant (1) their occupation as domestic duties or • Bank Officer (2) similar (11) • Biograph Operator (projectionist) (1) • Motor mechanic (1) • Blacksmiths (2) • Optician (1) • Building Contractors (1) • Packer (1) • Carpenters (3) • Pharmacist (1) • Cashier (1) • Photographer (1) • Civil Servants (9) • Plumber (1) • Cleaner (1) • Postal officers (2) • Clerks (16) • Retired (2) • Commercial traveller (1) • Salesmen or shop assistants (7) • Cycle mechanic (1) • Scale adjuster (1) • Draftsman (1) • Railway employees (9) • Druggist Assistant (1) • Steward (1) • Electricians (1) • Storeman or warehouseman (2) • Engineers (2) • Survey hand (1) • French polisher (1) • Tailoress (1) • Grocer (1) • Taxi Driver (1) • Inspectors (2) • Teacher (1) • Jeweller (1) • Tramway Employee (1) • Labourer (1) • Turner or other timber worker (2) • Lift attendant (1) • Upholsterer (1) The demographic was therefore dominated by white collar workers, retail employees and skilled tradesmen. Few of these people were prominent in the wider community, although some served on the Subiaco Council and one, William Lonnie of 10 McCallum Avenue, rose through the ranks from a position as a Government driver (1930s) to the Under-Secretary of the Premier’s Department (1960s). The other resident of particular note was Mrs Edith Daglish, of 9 Munsie Avenue, who was the widow of Henry Daglish (1866-1920), the first Labor Premier of Western Australia and long-time resident of Subiaco, for whom the suburb was named. Edith had an active involvement in social welfare issues and in recognition of this work she was awarded the O.B.E. in 1921.

4.8 Associations – Suburb and Street Names Daglish was subdivided under the administration of the Labor Party and was named in honour of Henry Daglish, who had served as the first Labor premier of Western Australia in 1904-1905: Henry Daglish (1866-1920), public servant and politician, was born on 18 November 1866 at Ballarat, Victoria, son of William Daglish, engine driver, and his wife Mary Ann, née James. Educated in Geelong, he matriculated, and was apprenticed to mechanical engineering in Humble & Nicholson's foundry. On 28 July 1883 he joined the public service as a clerk in the Police Department. Nicknamed 'the lean and hungry', he was a teetotaller and protégé of Samuel Mauger in temperance action. He was also interested in the labour movement. By June 1895 he was temporary secretary of a new United Public Service Association and in September he went into business. Next year he was at the bottom of the poll in a South Melbourne by-election on a radical programme. Daglish went to Western Australia in 1896 and joined the Police Department next year. He settled in Subiaco and soon became involved in local politics. He was a municipal councillor from 1900 and mayor in 1903-04 and 1906-07. He joined the Subiaco Political Labor League, and in 1901, after winning Subiaco with the biggest majority in the State, he became whip of the parliamentary Labor Party of six, all of whom, except Daglish, represented goldfields seats, and had no administrative experience. He first became prominent in a defiant statement to the labour congress of 1902, asserting the right of members of parliament to independent judgment. Party leader Robert Hastie then offered to stand down for him. Withdrawal of Labor support from the (Sir) W. H. James ministry in August 1903 led to a general election in June 1904 … and Daglish became the first Labor premier of Western Australia … [but] … on 27 August [1905 he] resigned as party leader. At the next election in October Daglish won Subiaco as an Independent Labor candidate … In August he was elected chairman of committees and, after winning his seat again in 1908, drifted into the Liberal camp. From September 1910 to October 1911, he was minister for works in the Frank Wilson ministry. Daglish was defeated in 1911 and became an estate agent. In March 1912 he was appointed employers' representative on the State Arbitration Court at £6 a week. He died of cancer on 16 August 1920 and was buried privately in the Congregational section of Karrakatta cemetery.29 The readily available information suggests that the streets in Daglish were probably all named in honour of senior members of the Western Australian Labor party who were serving in parliament at the time of the subdivision, with the exception of Stubbs Terrace (which was probably named in honour of a former member of the party who had represented the seat of Subiaco as an MLA) and Robinson Terrace (which was probably named in honour of then current Mayor of Subiaco). Hickey Avenue Hickey Avenue was probably named in honour of James William Hickey (1878-1932) who was a union organiser by profession and a member of the Western Australian Labor Party. Hickey represented the Central Province in the Legislative Council in 1916-1928. 30 During this time he served terms as a Minister without portfolio (1924-1928).

Lutey Avenue Lutey Avenue was probably named in honour of John Thomas Lutey (1876-1932), who was a gold miner by profession and a member of the Western Australian Labor Party. Hickey served as the member for the Legislative Assembly seat of Brown Hill-Ivanhoe from 1917- 1932. During this time he served as Chairman of Committees (1924-1932). 31 McCallum Avenue McCallum Avenue was probably named in honour of Alexander McCallum (1877-1937) who was a bookbinder and farmer by profession and a member of the Western Australian Labor Party.

Munsie served as the member for the Legislative Assembly seat of Hannans from 1911-1938. During this time he served terms as a Minister without portfolio (1924-1930) and the Minister for Mines and Health (1927-1930 & 1933-1938). 33 Richardson Terrace Richardson Terrace was probably named in honour of Walter Richardson (1871-1959) who was a fireman superintendent by profession, who served various terms with the Subiaco Municipal Council in the period 1907-1943, including terms as the Mayor of Subiaco in 1920-1921 and 1936-1943. Richardson was a member of the Western Australian Labor Party until 1917 and then a Nationalist.34 He was Secretary of the National Labour Party in 1920-1924. Robinson Terrace Robinson Terrace was probably named in honour of Roland Astill Robinson (1882-1969) who was Mayor of Subiaco in c.1924-1926. Stubbs Terrace Stubbs Terrace was probably named in honour of Bartholomew James Stubbs (1872-1917), who was a tailor by profession, active in the Western Australian Tailors Union from its inauguration in 1896 and a member of the Western Australian Labor Party. Stubbs served as the member for the Legislative Assembly seat of Subiaco from 1911 until his death on active service in France in 1917.35

5 PLACE RECORDS 5.1 Hickey Avenue Hickey Avenue has 7 houses fronting the north-eastern side of the street (Lots 56 to 62 of DP 203612), with Hickey Avenue Park (Reserve 20246) occupying the central portion of the south- western side. Both blocks at the south-eastern end of the street address Stubbs Terrace (Lots 44 and 63), while one block at the north-western end addresses Troy Terrace (Lot 55). The size of the residential blocks ranges from 627m2 to 650m2 (approximately 15.24 x 42.7m) The road reserve is approximately 20m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 6m. The wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by mature brush box trees (Lophostemon confertous). A concrete footpath runs adjacent to the fences along the north-eastern side of the street. Six metre wide laneways running off Hickey Avenue serve the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace and encircle Hickey Avenue Park. Another 6m wide lane serves the rear of the Hickey Avenue houses. As summarised below, 3 of the 7 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 2 in the 1930s and the last 2 in c.1942. The readily available information suggests that all of these were built for owner/occupiers. All but 2 of the original families remained as long-term residents of the street (with the Bendon and Truscott families moving away in the mid 1930s).

Historical The following historical information has been quoted with minor amendments from Notes and the Heritage Assessment of the Daglish Tennis Club within Res 20246, 11 Hickey Associations Avenue, Daglish, prepared for the City of Subiaco by Hocking Heritage Studio, March 2016: Lot 45 on Hickey Avenue was selected by the Subiaco Road Board for the site of a recreation reserve which was formally gazetted on 27th September 1929. It was allocated for use by the newly formed Tennis Club in 1930 in response to a request from a small number of rate payers in Daglish. The site was heavily timbered and the trees that were cleared were used by the local residents for firewood. The clearing of the site was undertaken by the Subiaco Road Board for no charge however the club had to pay a small annual rent ($10.50) for the site. The Daglish Tennis Club, or Hillcrest Tennis Club named because of its location on the crest of a hill, was supported with a grant of £878 from the Municipality of Subiaco which enabled clearing of the site and construction of courts from ‘Malthoid’. This product was a felt material impregnated with bitumen which was painted with white lines to mark the courts. The club was formally opened on 21st March 1931 by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr G. H. Olney who stated ‘it gave him great pleasure to have the privilege of opening the courts of a district popularly regarded as one of the model suburbs of the metropolitan area’. The first club President was Hilton Ennis, a local builder who constructed with the help of volunteer labour, a small timber club house. At the time of opening the club had a membership of 60. Included in the membership was Harry Daglish, and on the committee, Miss Edith Daglish. These were the children of Henry Daglish. Edith (Rae) Daglish was a Daglish Tennis Club committee member for many years and lived in Munsie Avenue Daglish. Spillman notes that the suburb of Daglish during the 1930s was recalled as a ‘friendly place’ where everyone knew each other and suburban good fellowship was common. The Daglish Tennis Club demonstrated that easy lifestyle as remembered by one former member; (we).. had a wonderful social club with a little shed which the men constructed … We boiled our afternoon tea billy on an open fire. We even had a couple of lovely summer night parties on the court playing games and dancing. One of the problems of the club was the Malthoid courts which were not viable in the long term as one recollection of them recounted by Spillman stated; the courts were not entirely satisfactory, and nature was able to take some revenge for the settlers’ indiscriminate destruction of wild flora. Before long, blackboys “sprouted up through the seams of the cover” rendering the already uneven surface rather difficult to negotiate’. …… During 1938, the club put in considerable effort to improve the club grounds. It is presumed the Malthoid courts were replaced at this time as the three existing courts were ‘lowered into the ground’ and work had commenced on the fourth court but was not completed. (The location of the fourth court is not clear but is probable that it was in the current park.) New hoses, sprinklers, nets and net posts were purchased through fundraising and the attendance at ‘busy bees’ was high. In November 1938, the tennis club, still known as the ‘Hillcrest Tennis Club’, was opened for the season by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr W. Richardson who congratulated the committee on bringing the courts up to a high standard. In November 1939, Mayor of Subiaco, Mr W. Richardson opened the club under the name, the Daglish Tennis Club On that occasion the local press announced

‘good tennis was followed by afternoon tea’ attended by the Mayor of Subiaco, Mr W. Richardson and councillors. During World War Two, the tennis club continued but it is likely to have been a more modest membership and limited games and events as community resources were generally directed to the war effort. The period following World War Two was characterised by immigration which created a significant demand for residential accommodation. Consequently, there were many hundreds of homes being erected in the less developed suburbs of the metropolitan area, such as Daglish and Shenton Park where the vast majority of the newer properties were recorded as being owner occupied. This was in contrast to, the much earlier buildings located in the central area of Subiaco which were used primarily for rental purposes. The development of Daglish in the post war years lead to a resurgence of the club and the local press has many mentions of the Daglish Tennis Club events and games during the 1950s. In 1956, the club approached the Subiaco Council to provide a new building for a club rooms. This request was not supported by the council which suggested that an alternate site for the club be found. It is suggested that the toilet block on the southern side of the courts was built at this time as the concrete block construction is representative of that time period. It is also likely that as the suburb was being more densely settled it was appropriate to provide toilets for the members. In 1966, further approaches were made to the Subiaco Council for financial assistance with the construction of new club rooms. This request was again refused although the Council did agree to take over the weekly mowing of the courts. By the 1970s, membership was dwindling and water restrictions meant the few loyal members remaining needed to hand water the courts to enable them to survive. A membership drive lead by Club President John Lewis was so successful that by 1979, the Subiaco Council agreed to install a bore and provide assistance with the construction of new clubrooms. The club rooms were built through the efforts of the club and community members. Local resident, builder and club member, Bob Furr oversaw the construction of the new clubrooms. The new club rooms were opened by Mayor Richard Diggins in 1980 and at that time membership had grown to 100 with a healthy number of junior players. The Daglish Tennis Club has had periods in which club membership has dwindled but through the action of a core group of members the club has resurged and gained new members which have carried it forward as a viable club in the district. Most recently, in 2005, when numbers were very low, social/supporter memberships were introduced to the club and this has proved to be a worthwhile initiative in strengthening the club and increasing ties with the community. In addition the club offers its courts to the local primary school for its physical education program. It is acknowledged that the club, with only three courts, is the smallest in the metropolitan area and the majority of its membership is drawn from the surrounding area although frequently members maintain membership even when they have left the district. In 2015/2016 the membership is 57, comprised of 22 full playing members, 6 juniors, 27 social supporters and 2 Honorary. The open park adjacent to the tennis courts has been consistently open grassed landscape since the 1950s with the introduction of play equipment in the late 1990s. It is possible that a fourth court was present on the park during the 1930s. There are several large native trees in the reserve which are certainly evident in

the 1953 aerial photograph. Other exotic species present in the park today [2016] are consistent with the 1953 photograph. The City of Subiaco Local Heritage Inventory has noted a Cork Tree within the park as being of cultural heritage significance. This tree is located on the south-eastern side of the tennis courts near the intersection of Hickey Avenue with the rear laneway serving properties along Stubbs Terrace (opposite the rear boundary of 139 Stubbs Terrace). Cork trees were formally introduced to Western Australia in the late 19th century when it was noted in an 1897 article that the Conservator of Forests, Mr J. Ednie-Brown was willing to follow through with the request from the Bureau of Agriculture to import Cork Oak trees to the colony. Cork Oak trees are slow growing and long lived therefore this large specimen is likely to have been planted as part of the early development of the park. Physical The following description has been quoted directly from the Heritage Assessment of Description the Daglish Tennis Club within Res 20246, 11 Hickey Avenue, Daglish, prepared for the City of Subiaco by Hocking Heritage Studio, March 2016: Reserve 20246 which contains the Daglish Tennis Club is located within the residential area of Daglish. The reserve is roughly triangular and is bound on two sides by tarmac lanes which provide rear access to the residences facing Troy Street and Stubbs Terrace. The third side of the triangle is Hickey Avenue, a leafy suburban street of predominantly single storey residences. The verge alongside Hickey Avenue is grassed. The park is roughly framed by trees on the perimeter. Several of the trees are large Eucalypts although other species are present, notably the Cork Oak Tree Quercus Suber on the western boundary. The boundary of the park is further defined by regularly placed treated pine logs. The overall site is gently sloped down from Hickey Avenue however the establishment of the three tennis courts has created areas of cut and fill on either side of the courts. The three grass courts are fenced with metal mesh fence of over 3 meters high. On the northern boundary of the site adjacent to the courts are the clubrooms, a simple single storey red brick building with a pitched roof clad in zincalume. The club rooms provide simple kitchen facilities, storage and shelter for the players and visitors. Alongside the clubrooms is a gazebo over a paved area which has been created through the construction of a retaining wall near the north east corner of the site. Other informal paved areas are located around the courts with seating and shelter. The toilet block on the southern side of the tennis courts are accessible only to the club members and visitors via the courts. It is constructed of painted concrete blockwork with a pitched roof clad in metal deck sheeting. The park is predominantly grassed with some areas of play equipment located within areas of softfall ground treatment.

Contributory Considerable contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance High authenticity Construction c.1929 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books suggests that 6 Hickey Avenue was constructed in c.1929 Notes and for Owen Truscott (a bank official). Associations Note: This is one of four almost identical houses in Daglish (6 Hickey Avenue, 11 McCallum Avenue, 143 Stubbs Terrace and 149 Stubbs Terrace), any one of which might have been the new house that was advertised by Dudley and Dwyer Ltd (builders and developers) with a prominent illustration in the Sunday Times of 22 July 1928 (p 10). Online family trees suggest that Edgar Owen Truscott (c.1902-1952) had married Elizabeth Mary Lila Pell (c.1904-1979) in 1927. They occupied 6 Hickey Avenue until c.1933, when the house was rented to Alan Steward. The Rate Books continue to show the Truscotts as the owners of the property until around 1937 (by which time the family was living in Nedlands). From the mid 1930s, the primary occupants listed in the Post Office Directories changed regularly, including Alan Steward (1934-1937), Alan Scott (1938-1939), John Hayes (1940), Joseph Ryan (1941-1946) and the Minors family (1947-1949). John Wray Minors (engineer) and Ina Isabelle Minors, were listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls from at least 1943 until the late 1950s (after which they moved to Darlington). Their relationship (if any) to Joseph Ryan, who was listed as the primary occupant in the Post Office Directories of 1941-1946, has not been determined.

Construction c.1930 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books suggests that 10 Hickey Avenue was constructed in 1929- Notes and 30 on land owned by Ernest Black, accountant. Associations In the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants were more specifically identified as Ernest Frederick Thomas Black (accountant) and Alice Mary Black (home duties). Online family tees suggest that Ernest (c.1900-1987) had married Alice Mary Stephenson (c.1902-1990) in c.1926 and that this couple had at least one son and two daughters. Ernest and Alice were still listed at 10 Hickey Avenue in the Electoral Rolls of 1980. Comparison of historical aerial photographs indicates that the roof form was slightly modified at some stage between 1985 and1995, probably as part of rear extensions undertaken during the same period.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance The form and scale of the place is consistent with the streetscape, but alterations and additions have resulted in a medium to low degree authenticity for the main façade. Construction c.1942 date Historical According to the Rate Books, 12 Hickey Avenue was still undeveloped in 1939 when Notes and the site was owned by William McHarry. Associations The Post Office Directories first listed this house in 1945 when the primary occupant was identified as Percy Newsome. However, the house pre-dates this by at least three years, as there was a brief newspaper article about a burglary at the home of Mrs Alice Newsome in Hickey Avenue in November 1942. It therefore would have been one of the last houses commenced in the Study Area before the building lull of WWII. Percy Hinton Newsome (retired), Alice Beatrice Newsome (home duties) and Horace Percival Newsome (blind maker) were all listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1943. Online family trees suggest that Samuel Hinton “Percy” Newsome (c.1866-1953) married Alice Beatrice Clarke (c.1876-1980) in England in 1897 and that they had at least four children, including Horace (c.1898-1980). The family migrated to Western Australia in 1911, after which Percy worked as a plumber. Horace and Alice Newsome were still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1963, but had moved to Swanbourne by 1968. A comparison of current and historical aerial photographs confirms that the main façade was extended to the south-east in the period 1983-1985.

Contributory Considerable contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance High authenticity Construction c.1928 date Historical The 1929-30 Rate Books show that a house had been built on this site and list Francis Notes and Bendon, a clerk, as the owner/occupier. In 1938-39 the entry in the Rate Books also Associations included the initials WHB, which suggests that the house was constructed with assistance from the Workers’ Homes Board. In 1931, the Electoral Rolls listed the occupants more specifically as Francis Campbell Bendon (salesman) and Julia Mary Bendon (married woman). A newspaper notice dated February 1928 had announced the marriage of Francis Campbell Bendon to Julia Foley and noted that the newly married couple would be residing in Daglish. It is therefore likely that the house was constructed in c.1927-1928. The couple remained here until c.1936 and the Rates Books show that Bendon retained ownership of the property until at least 1937-39. The next known occupants were James Henry Downie (engineering assistant) and Dulcie Ida Downie (home duties), who lived here from c.1937-1946. They were followed by members the Foley family, including (over time) Daniel William Foley (plumber), Daniel Maurice Foley (railway officer), Dorothy Julia Foley (home duties) and Julia Mary Foley (typiste) – with all but Daniel William Foley still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1958. It seems likely that these were related to one of the original occupants, Julia Bendon (nee Foley).

In 1937 this house was included as one of a few dwellings “selected at random” and published under the title “Modern Suburban Homes: Some Outstanding Designs” (Western Mail 21 January 1937 p S4)
Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance The form and scale of the place is consistent with the original design, but alterations have resulted in a medium to low degree of authenticity for the detailing and finishes of the main façades. Construction c.1936 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that 18 Hickey Notes and Avenue was constructed for Leonard Lowndes in c.1936. Associations In 1937, the Electoral Rolls more specifically identified the occupants as Leonard William Lowndes (clerk) and Winfred Iris Lowndes (home duties). Online family trees suggest that Leonard (c.1904-1996) had married Winifred Iris Robson (c.1911-1995) in Perth in November 1936, which indicates that they settled here at the beginning of their married lives. Leonard and Winifred continued to live at 18 Hickey Avenue until at least 1963, when the Electoral Rolls showed them as sharing the house with Robin Lowndes (leather machinist).

5.2 Lutey Avenue Lutey Avenue has 7 houses addressing the south-western side of the street (Lots 129 to135 of DP 203612) and 6 houses addressing the north-eastern side (Lots 136, 137, 140, 143 and 144 of DP 203612 and Lot 236 of DP 160700). One block at the south-eastern end of the street addresses Stubbs Terrace (Lot 128). The size of the residential blocks along the south-western side of the street ranges from 627m2 to 650m2 (approximately 15.2 x 42.7m). The blocks on the north-eastern side are more irregular in size and shape (with some backing onto Richardson Avenue), and range from 589m2 to 766m2. The road reserve is approximately 20m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 6.5m. The wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by mature brush box trees (Lophostemon confertous). Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. Six metre wide laneways running off Lutey Avenue serve the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace, while another 6m wide lane serves the rear of the houses along the south-western side of the street. As summarised below, 6 of the 13 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 4 in the 1930s and the last 3 in the 1950s-early 1960s. The readily available information suggests that all of the pre 1950 houses were built for owner/occupiers. All but 3 of the original families remained as long-term residents of the street (with the Egan, McCracken and Oliver families moving away in the mid 1930s).

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity The rendering/painting of the original tuck-pointed face brickwork has diminished the authenticity of the main facade. Construction c.1928 date Historical The address given for this house in historical records was 65 Stubbs Terrace. However, Notes and the current street address is 2 Lutey Avenue. Associations According to the Rate Books, this house was constructed in c.1928 for Guy Osborne, clerk. The 1937-38 and 1938-39 listings in the Rate Books also include the notation ‘WSH’, which suggests that the house was built as a War Service Home. This possibility is supported by the fact that Guy Osborne Bellingham enrolled in the armed forces in September 1916 and embarked from Australia in December 1916. In a newspaper article of January 1918, he was listed amongst servicemen who had been reported as seriously ill. In 1931, the Electoral Rolls more specifically identified the occupants of 65 Stubbs Terrace as Guy Bellingham Osborne (clerk) and Ouida Osborne (home duties). Online family trees suggest that Guy (c.1898-1973) had married Ouida Valentine “Robin” Mews (1904-1989) in Perth in 1927, which indicates that they settled here at the beginning of their married lives. This couple were still listed at 2 Lutey Avenue in the Electoral Rolls of 1972. A comparison of historical aerial photographs indicates that the house was extended to the north-west in c.1980 (with the new wing set back from the street).

Egan remained here until c.1935, and in the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants were more specifically identified as Bernard Francis Egan (public servant) and Winifred Egan (home duties). At that time the house was referred to as “Wynbern”. The 1938-39 listing in the Rate Books includes the notation ‘WSH’, which suggests that the house was built as a War Service Home. This possibility is supported by the fact that Bernard Francis Egan enrolled in the armed forces in 1916 and embarked on active service in June of that year. Egan remained the owner until at least 1939, but the primary occupant changed to Douglas Hall in 1935-36 and to Reginald Maxwell in 1937-1938. Entries in the Electoral Rolls suggest that Bernard and Winifred Egan had settled in NSW by the early 1940s (with Bernard still working as a pubic servant). The first longer-term residents appear to have been Bruce Carlisle (a testing officer) and Phyllis May Carlisle (home duties), who lived here from c.1949 until at least 1963.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low authenticity Alterations to the finishes and detailing of the main facade have diminished the authenticity of this place (particularly through the introduction of Federation era inspired detailing to an Inter-War era house). Construction c.1928 date Historical According to the 1929-1930 Rate Books, a house had been constructed at 11 Lutey Notes and Avenue and was owned by Maud McCracken, while the Post Office Directories listed Associations Robert McCracken as the primary occupant in 1929-1932. In October 1933 the contents of the house, comprising a large selection of furniture and household goods were offered for sale “absolutely without reserve”– suggesting that the occupants were either in financial difficulties or were moving away from W.A. Angus Hardie (fitter) and Winifred May Hardie (home duties) then occupied the house as tenants from c.1934-1937, after which they moved into their own, newly constructed, Workers Homes Board house at 7 Stubbs Terrace, Daglish. In 1935-1936 the Rate Books listed the owner of the property as the WA Building and Investment Company Ltd and, in October 1936, it was one of a package of 12 investment properties offered for sale, with 11 Lutey Avenue described as follows: Daglish Lot 132, frontage 50ft., depth 140ft. Brick, 3 rooms, kitchen, septic tank; and large J.W.B. shed. Rental £1/2/6. In 1937-38 and 1938-39 the Rate Books identified the next owner as Sarah Francis and the tenant as William Gifford. William Gifford (ticket writer) and Ivy Ellen Gifford (home duties) were still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1958. Historical aerial photographs confirm that a projecting carport had been constructed on the north-western side of the main façade in as early as 1964.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low authenticity Major alterations appear to include the construction of a return verandah, replacement of the tiled roof and rendering of the main façade. These late twentieth century alterations were influenced by earlier Federation era detailing rather than the inter-war period of the house. Construction c.1927 date Historical In July 1927, an advertisement was placed for the “ERECTION and Completion of …. Notes and WAR SERVICE and WORKERS HOMES” including “J.5031: Brick House on Lot 133 Lutey- Associations ave., DAGLISH”. The 1938-39 listing in the Rate Books also included the notation ‘WSH’ (War Service Home). According to the Rate Books of 1929-1930, the house at 13 Lutey Avenue was owned by William Bailey, labourer. This corresponds with an entry in the Post Office Directory of 1928, which identified a person by the name of Bailey as one of four residents along this street. In the Electoral Rolls of 1936 the occupants of the house were more specifically identified as William Bailey (striker) and Ellen Wallace Bailey (home duties), and this couple appear to have remained here until c.1940. By 1943 the house had been occupied by William Martin Simmons (gas worker) and Christine Simmons (home duties). The Simmons family were long-term occupants and William was still listed here in the Electoral Rolls of 1972. Comparison of historical aerial photographs indicates that the roofline was extended on the south-eastern side and the tiles replaced with metal sheeting in the period 1995-2000.

Construction c.1938 date Historical According to the Rate Books, this place was constructed in c.1938 for Doris Juniper.** Notes and The first listing in the Post Office Directories occurred in 1941 (when the house was Associations listed as vacant) and from 1942 a Miss Turpin was identified as the primary occupant. In the Electoral Rolls of 1943 this was more specifically identified as Doris Isabella Turpin (teacher). Online Australian birth and death records indicate that this woman had been born in c.1893 (daughter of Walter and Bella Turpin) and died in 1968 (when she was still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls). Aerial photographs from 1965 show 14 Lutey Avenue as simple rectangular house with a hipped tiled roof (similar to the existing) and a centrally located projecting porch (consistent with the period of construction). This general form remained unchanged in 1985, but by 1995 the porch had been replaced by a return verandah and large additions had been completed along the Troy Terrace frontage. **Note: As a Doris Turpin was listed as the owner of the land in the Rate Books prior to 1938 the surname given in the 1938-1939 Rate Book entry may have been incorrect.

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity The enclosure of the front verandah with modern louvers has altered the streetscape character of this house. Construction c.1933 date Historical The 1929-30 Rate Books listed this site as undeveloped land, owned by Albert Connell. Notes and The house was first identified in the Post Office Directories in 1934, when a Mrs A. G. Associations Oliver was the primary occupant, while the 1935-36 Rate Books confirmed that she was also the owner. Online family trees suggest that Alice Gertude Douglas (c.1875-1939) had married Horace Edgar Oliver in 1900 and had been widowed in 1920. Alice and Horace (snr) had at least three children, including Horace Douglas Oliver. The 1936 Electoral Rolls more specifically identified Alice Gertrude Oliver (home duties) and Horace Douglas Oliver (clerk) as the occupants of 17 Lutey Avenue. According to the Rate Books, Mrs Oliver was renting the house to a Miss Millard in 1938-39 and this is confirmed by the listing in Post Office Directories. From 1941-42 the occupants were listed as Mrs Helen Austin & George Denham Delfs (telegraphist) and from 1942 to 1949, as Mrs Viardot Lucella Broadbent.

5.3 McCallum Avenue McCallum Avenue was designed as the axis road leading to the Daglish Railway Station and was distinguished by a park at the south-eastern end (cnr Stubbs Terrace) and by generous 11m wide verges. It has 7 houses addressing the south-western side of the street (Lots 89 to 95 of DP 203612) and 7 houses addressing the north-eastern side (Lots 96 to 102 of DP 203612). The two blocks at the south-eastern end of the street address Stubbs Terrace (Lot 88 and the McCallum Avenue Reserve). All of the residential blocks range from 627m2 to 650m2 (approximately 15.2 x 42.7m). The road reserve is approximately 30m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 7.5m. The extra-wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by peppermint trees (agonis flexuosa) of various ages and sizes. Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. Six metre wide laneways running off McCallum Avenue serve the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace and 6m wide lanes also serve the rear of the McCallum Avenue houses. As summarised below, 4 of the 14 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 9 in the 1930s and the last in the 1950s. The readily available information suggests that all of the pre 1950 houses were built for owner/occupiers. All but 2 of the original families remained as long-term residents of the street (with the Eastwood and Dickman families moving away in the early-mid 1930s). The south-western side of the street was developed first, with #s 5, 7, 9, 11 and 15 completed and occupied by 1934. It appears that the north-western side of the street may have been set aside for Workers Homes Board housing, as all of these sites were developed with the assistance of the Workers Homes Board in the period 1933-1937.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low authenticity The physical evidence and a review of historical aerial photographs indicate that the verandah form and detailing was extensively modified at some stage between 1953 and 1964. These works have significantly altered the style of the place, but the scale and materials remain generally consistent with the streetscape. Construction c.1936 date Historical In January 1936 the Workers Homes Board called for tenders for the “erection and Notes and completion” of a number of houses including “71/35. BRICK HOUSE on Lot 102 Associations McCallum Ave., DAGLISH.” Entries in the 1935-36 Rate Books and the Post Office Directories indicate that the owner/occupier at that time was Harold Rudinger. In 1936, the Electoral Rolls more specifically identified the occupants as Harold Frederick Rudinger (photographer) and Grace Rudinger (home duties). Newspaper notices confirm that Rudinger was a staff photographer with The West Australian in 1937-1942, after which he moved to the Western Mail. Harold and Grace were divorced in 1943 and in the Electoral Rolls of 1949 and 1958 the only member of the family listed at 6 McCallum Avenue was Grace Ruginger (barmaid). A review of historical aerial photographs indicates that the verandah form was extensively modified at some stage between 1953 and 1964. It was then further extended as a carport prior to 1977.

Online family trees suggest that Reginald (c.1889-1933) had married Pamela Seymour Matthews (c.1893-1975) in Maylands in 1920. Following Reginald’s death in September 1933, Pamela moved to Maylands and the next known owner/occupant was Minnie Irene Lightowler (nee Walters)(home duties), who was living here with Wilfred Earnshaw Lightowler (salesman, later school teacher). Minnie remained here until around the time of her death in December 1952, when newspaper notices described her as the widow of Wilfred and mother of Michael (born 1937), Christopher (1940) and Jennifer (1941).

Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. Six metre wide laneways running off Munsie Avenue serve the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace and 6m wide lanes also serve the rear of the Munsie Avenue properties. As summarised below, 3 of the 14 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 9 in the 1930s and the last two in the 1950s-early 1960s.

Important historical associations. Construction c.1930 date Historical In November 1925, Edith Daglish was recorded as the purchaser of Lot 71, at a price of Notes and £116. Development of the new suburb was then delayed by the need to complete Associations basic services, and an analysis of Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggest that the house was built for her in c.1930. Mrs Edith Daglish was the widow of Henry Daglish (1866-1920) (the first Labor Premier of Western Australia and long-time resident of Subiaco) for whom the suburb was named. Edith had an active involvement in social welfare issues and during WWI “was a keen worker on behalf of the fighting forces, running canteens and other patriotic organisations.” In recognition of this work she was awarded the O.B.E. in 1921. At the time of her death in 1946, Edith Daglish was living at 9 Munise Avenue with her daughter, Edith Rachel Daglish (a typiste). Edith (jnr) was still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1980.

This has 4 houses addressing the south to south-western side of the street (Lots 69 to 75 of DP 203612) and 11 houses addressing the northern side (Lots 141, 142 and149 of DP 203612 and Lot 235 of DP 160700). Two blocks on the south to south-western side of the street (at the Troy Terrace end) address Lutey Avenue (Lots 136 and 137), with the rear of these properties addressing Richardson Terrace. One block on the south to south-western side of the street (SP 22012) addresses Stubbs Terrace. The blocks along the northern side of the street range from 594 m2 to 653m2 (approximately 18.2 x 42.2m). The blocks along the inner curve on the south to south-western side of the street range from 653 to 774 m2, and are more irregular in their shape and dimensions. The road reserve is approximately 20m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 7m. The wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by brush box trees (Lophostemon confertus). Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. A 6m wide laneway running off the south to south-western side of the street serves the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace and a 5m wide lane also serves the rear of the properties along the northern side of Richardson Terrace. As summarised below, 5 of the 15 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 8 in the 1930s, 1 in 1940 and 1 in 1950. The readily available information suggests that all but 1 of these houses were built for owner/occupiers. All but 4 of the original families remained as long-term residents of the street.

5.6 Robinson Terrace (southern side, Troy Terrace to Olga Place) This section of Robinson Terrace follows an arc that formed the north to north-eastern boundary of the original subdivision. This has 6 houses addressing Robinson Terrace, with a further property, 31A Robinson Street, off Troy Terrace (created as a subdivision of Lot 31). The original blocks range from 794 m2 to 857m2 - each approximately 40.1m deep, with frontages of approx. 16.3m to Robinson Terrace and rear boundaries of approx. 20 to 25m. The road reserve is approximately 20m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 7m. The wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa). Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. A 5m wide laneway running between Olga Place and Troy Terrace serves the rear of these properties. As summarised below, 2 of the 6 houses that face onto this section of Robinson Terrace were constructed in the late 1920s, 2 in the 1930s, 1 in 1940 and 1 in 1948. The readily available information suggests that all of these houses were built for owner/occupiers (although ownership of #31 has not been confirmed). All but 1 of the original families remained as long-term residents of the street.

Contributory Considerable contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance High authenticity to the main house. Setting modified by the construction of a carport in the front setback. Construction c.1928 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books indicates that this place was constructed in c.1928 for J Notes and W Davies, who was listed in the Post Office Directories as the primary occupant of the Associations property until 1931 (at which time it was known as 7 Robinson Terrace). In the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants of the house were more specifically identified as Joseph William Davies (electrician) and Alice Ann Davies (home duties). Joseph (then described as a fitter with the W.A.G.R.), died in November 1931 (aged 54 years) and his death notice described him as the husband of Ann Davies and father of Henry and Dorothy. However, curiously, a belated death notice placed in the West Australian in April 1932, quite specifically referred to the same man as the “husband of Edith Davies and father of Constance, Leslie, Albert, Augustus, Iris, Reginald and Beatrice, all of Gooroolba, Queensland”. This suggests that Joseph was estranged from his first wife, but it has not been determined if he had formally divorced and remarried. By 1935-36 the Rate Books indicate that ownership of the house had been transferred to an Annie Davies. This was presumably the Alice Ann Davies who had been living here in 1931, but no further reference has been found for this woman in the W.A. Electoral Rolls. Following Joseph’s death, the house was used as a rental property and there were at least seven different occupants during the period c.1932-1939. Annie Davies was still listed as the owner in the 1938-39 Rates Books, but the property was advertised for sale in November 1939: Modern Brick Five (5) Roomed Residence, Daglish, glassed-in sleep-out. High large allotment, select locality.

Contributory Considerable contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance High authenticity Construction c.1928 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books suggests that this place was constructed in c.1928 for Notes and Victor Jones, a fitter, while entries in the 1931 Electoral Rolls more specifically Associations identified the occupants as Victor Maybury Jones (fitter) and Olive Maud Jones (married woman). The 1937-38 and 1938-39 listings in the Rate Books include the notation ‘WSH’, which suggests that the house was built as a War Service Home. Victor had joined the W.A.G.R. as an apprentice fitter in 1913 and was permanently appointed in 1915. He was then granted leave from early 1916 until the end of 1918 to serve in the armed forces (and was reported as wounded in action in 1917), which confirms that he would have been eligible for assistance under the WSH scheme. Newspaper notices and online Australian marriage records confirm that Victor had married Olive Maud Coverley in c.1923, which indicates that they settled here in the early years of their marriage. Victor and Olive were still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1980. Physical Architectural style Description • Inter-War Bungalow.

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance The late twentieth century additions extended the house in a “seamless” style on the western side of the main façade, which has significantly altered the scale of the building envelope and diminished its authenticity (although the external detailing of the original section appears to be largely intact). Construction c.1933 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that this house was Notes and constructed in c.1933 for Sydney Morgan, engineer. In the Electoral Rolls of 1936 the Associations occupants were more specifically identified as Sydney Theo Morgan (engineer) and Alma Morgan (home duties). Analysis of online family trees, Australian marriage records and newspaper notices indicates that Sydney (c.1896-1949) married Alma Sampey (c.1909-1976) in c.1933, and that they settled here at the beginning of their married lives. At the time of his death in November 1949, Sydney was an employee of the W.A.G.R. Workshops and Stores Branch. Alma remained here after her husband’s death and was still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1963. A review of historical aerial photographs shows that the house extended to west in 1985-1995. Physical Architectural style Description • Inter-War California Bungalow.

5.7 Stubbs Terrace This section of Stubbs Terrace forms the south-eastern boundary of the original subdivision, overlooking the railway reserve. 37 houses address this street frontage (plus one house that now takes the address of 2 Lutey Avenue). The original blocks range from 539 m2 to 825m2 – and are typically 612m2 (approx. 15.2m wide and 40.2m deep). The road reserve is approximately 25m wide, with a sealed trafficable roadway of approximately 6m, lined by defined car parking lanes. The 4.5m wide verges along the north-western side of the street are predominantly grassed and lined by brush box trees (Lophostemon confertous), with a concrete footpath adjacent to the property boundaries. However, at the north-eastern end of the study area (at the intersection with Richardson Terrace and Olga Place) a wider grassed area has been landscaped with bottlebrush (Callistemon). Along the south-eastern side of Stubbs Terrace the verge and part of the railway reserve have been more heavily landscaped with mixed plantings of trees and shrubs, separating the road and street parking from a shared bicycle-pedestrian pathway. All of the residential lots facing onto Stubbs Terrace are served by a 6 m wide rear lane which runs off the side streets. As summarised below, 17 of the 37 houses that face onto this section of Stubbs Terrace were constructed in the late 1920s, 11 in the 1930s, 1 in 1940 and 7 in the period c.1949-1953. A further house was demolished and replaced in the last few years of the twentieth century. The readily available information suggests that most of these houses were built for owner/occupiers, and the families of at least 17 of the original owner/occupants remained in residence for more than 15 years.

For at least part of the next decade this may have been used as the Associations family’s city address, but Oliver appears to have also served some time with the W.A.G.R. in Bunbury. Online family trees suggest that Oliver Mason Watson (c.1886-1951) had married Ethel Harvey in c.1910, but that they were divorced in 1931. In the Electoral Rolls of 1943 the occupants of the house were listed as Oliver Mason Watson (railway employee) and Jean Irene Watson (home duties). In August 1951 a newspaper notice announced the funeral of “Mr. Oliver Mason Watson of 73 Stubbs-terrace, Daglish, and formerly Chief Traffic Manager, W.A.G.R., Perth.” Death notices also confirm that Jean was his second wife.

Contributory Considerable contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance High authenticity Construction c.1928 date Historical Analysis of the Rate Books indicates that this house was constructed in c.1928 for Notes and Leslie Piercy, a tramways employee. The 1937-38 and 1938-39 listings in the Rate Associations Books also include the notation ‘WSH’, which suggests that the house was built as a War Service Home. This is supported by the fact that Leslie had served in the armed forces during WWI (enrolling in June 1917). In the 1931 Electoral Rolls the occupants were more specifically identified as Leslie Frank Piercy (tram employee), Mary Louisa Piercy (married woman), Enid Agnes Piercy (typiste) and Jean Mary Piercy (music teacher). Online family trees and Leslie’s death notice suggest that Leslie (c.1882-1949) had married Mary Louisa Powell (c.1882-?) in Guildford in 1904, and that they had at least six children – Jean (born c.1909), Frank (c.1911), Phyllis (c.1913), Enid, Myrtle and Alan.

BRICK HOUSE on Lot 124 Subbs- Associations ter., DAGLISH.” An analysis of Rate Books and Post Office Directories show that this house was constructed for William Gibbons, while entries in the 1936 Electoral Rolls more specifically identify the occupants as William Robert Gibbons (clerk) and Phyllis Helen Gibbons (home duties). Online family trees and Australian marriage records suggest that William (c.1904-?) had married Phyllis Helen Delamere (c.1909-1962) in Gingin in c.1932, which indicates that they had settled here during the early years of their married life.

In the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants Associations were more specifically listed as Alice Isabella Bowman (home duties), Alma Bowman (stenographer) and Jessie Isabella Bowman (stenographer). Online family trees suggest that Alice Isabella Ford (c.1878-1953) had married John Edward Bowman (c.1876-1928) in Perth in 1906 and that they had at least 4 children – Jessie (born c.1907), Alma (c.1908), Myrtle (c.1910) and John (c.1913). Alma married Alfred Reed in c.1939 and Alfred was listed as one of the primary occupants of the house in the Post Office Directories of 1946-1949 (although it is possible that Alma was living with her mother while Alfred was on active duty with the Royal Australian Navy during WWII). In September 1953, a death notice was placed in the newspapers for Alice Isabella Bowman and it is not clear who occupied the house in the mid 1950s to early 1960s. However, in the Electoral Rolls of 1968 and 1977 the occupants were listed as John Bowman (accountant) and Vera Bowman (home duties).

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity. Alterations to the wall finishes and the addition of a garage as an extension under the main roofline have diminished the authenticity of this place. Construction c.1928 date Historical Entries in the Rate Books suggest that this place was constructed in c.1928 for Alfred Notes and George Murray, salesman, who was listed at 143 Stubbs Terrace in the Post Office Associations Directories until 1932. The 1935-6 Rate Books indicate that the ownership had changed by that time, with the new owner listed as Dudley & Dwyer Ltd. Thomas Dudley, agent, and Laurence Dwyer, contractor, operated a major building firm, which was responsible for the construction of at least 80 houses in Subiaco, West Subiaco and Daglish in the 1920s. It is therefore possible that Dudley & Dwyer had built this house and resumed ownership due to a mortgage default. Note: This is one of four almost identical houses in Daglish (6 Hickey Avenue, 11 McCallum Avenue, 143 Stubbs Terrace and 149 Stubbs Terrace), any one of which might have been the new house that was advertised by Dudley and Dwyer Ltd (builders and developers) with a prominent illustration in the Sunday Times of 22 July 1928 (p 10). The Post Office Directories listed Thomas Carrington (clerk) as the next resident (c.1933-36); followed by Otto Kaye (c.1937-39) and then Alfred Jaggard (c.1940-54). Analysis of historical aerial photographs indicates that the current attached garage was constructed in the period c.1985-1995.

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity Alterations to the roof materials and apparent alterations to the verandah detailing have diminished the authenticity of this place. Construction c.1928 date Historical Entries in the Rate Books indicate that this place was constructed in c.1928 for Stanley Notes and Hughes, accountant. Associations In the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants were more specifically identified as Stanley Beaumont Hughes (accountant) and Florence Elfreda Hughes (married woman). Newspaper notices and online Australian marriage records confirm that Stanley had become engaged to Florence Elfreda Leslie in late 1927 and that they were married in c.1928. Stanley (c.1903-1967) and Florence (c.1904-?) were still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1963, together with Maxine Carol Hughes (stenographer). Florence was still listed here in the Electoral Rolls of 1980. An analysis of historical aerial photographs indicates that the traditional tiled roof was replaced with corrugated metal sheeting in early 2002.

Form and detailing of main façade(s) • Broadly symmetrical building envelope, as viewed from the street. • Prominent central wing, featuring a gabled roofline (with the face divided by vertical timber battens); a raked window awning; ½ hexagonal window bay with 5 casement windows; and a raked rendered window sill over a rockfaced stone base. • Raked-roofed entrance verandah along the north-eastern side of the central wing. The verandah posts have rendered masonry to the bottom sections, and square timber posts to the upper sections. The timber balustrade and matching timber valance appear to be a modern alteration (based on a review of their detailing from the street). • Entrance door flanked by ½ height sidelights, set at the back of the verandah. • Raked-roof room on the south-western side of the central wing. This has brickwork and casement windows that integrate ‘seamlessly’ with the central wing, but in buildings of this plan form, this space was more typically originally occupied by a second ‘garden’ verandah. Streetscape setting • Main façade set back approx. 6.5m from the front boundary. • Front boundary defined by a modern, scalloped, timber picket fence.

Associations Note: This is one of four almost identical houses in Daglish (6 Hickey Avenue, 11 McCallum Avenue, 143 Stubbs Terrace and 149 Stubbs Terrace), any one of which might have been the new house that was advertised by Dudley and Dwyer Ltd (builders and developers) with a prominent illustration in the Sunday Times of 22 July 1928 (p 10). In the Electoral Rolls of 1931 the occupants of 149 Stubbs terrace were more specifically identified as Robert Stanley Greenhalgh (accountant) and Audrey Elizabeth Greenhalgh (home duties). Online family trees and newspaper notices suggest that Robert (c.1896-1950) had married Audrey Elizabeth Walkington (c.1903-1991) in 1922, and that they had at least two children by 1930. At the time of his death, Robert was described as a former secretary and director of the Winterbottom Motor Company. Robert and Audrey remained at 149 Stubbs Terrace until c.1939, after which the next long-term occupants were Bernard Richard Waterman (constable) and Olive Jean Waterman (home duties), who lived here from c.1946 until the mid-1960s.

The wide verges along either side of Troy Terrace are predominantly grassed and lined by a mixed street planting, including peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa), jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia) and bottlebrush (callistemon). Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the property boundaries along the south-eastern side of the street. As summarised below, 3 of the 10 residential properties that face onto this section of Troy Terrace were constructed in the late 1920s, and the other 7 in the 1930s. The readily available information indicates that, with the exception of the units at 8 Troy Terrace, these were all built for owner/occupiers, and the families of at least 6 of the original owner/occupants remained here for more than 15 years.

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium to low authenticity ** The high front fence adversely impacts on the traditional streetscape setting and obscures views to the house from the public realm. Construction c.1938 date Historical The Rate Books suggest that this site was developed as flats in c.1936 for Mrs Ruth Notes and Doherty. However, this date may reflect the early planning stages as tenders for the Associations construction of the units were not received April 1938: The architect (Mr. H. A. Krantz) received 11 tenders ranging from £1,710 to £2,080 for a block of three flats to be erected in Troy-terrace, Daglish. The tenders are under consideration.51 These flats, known as ‘Bervie Brae’, were completed and occupied in c.1939 and were the only flats to be built within the original subdivision of Daglish. Information in the Post Office Directories and Electoral Rolls list the following occupants (with some inconsistencies between the two sources): Unit 1 • Cyril Walter Watts (truck driver)(c.1940-1949) Unit 2 • Ruth Burns Doherty (c.1941) • Mrs I Lucich (c.1942-1944) • Clifford Hermann Muhling (radio engineer)(c.1943 – 1946) • John Anderson (c.1947-1949)

Construction c.1928 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books indicates that this place was constructed in c.1928 for Notes and Hilton Ennis, builder. In 1931, the Electoral Rolls more specifically identified the Associations occupants as Hilton Ward Ennis (contractor) and his wife, Lucy Alice Ennis (home duties). The firm of W H Ennis & Son, builders and contractors, was established by William and Hilton Ellis in 1928 and subsequently undertook a range of work, including the Subiaco Freemasons Hall and numerous residential projects (including this house). However, by the beginning of 1934 Hilton’s firm was heavily in debt: Ennis is a building contractor, of Daglish and his statement of affairs showed that he owes £2,348 to 50 unsecured creditors, and that his estimated assets total £665/6/7. Debtor said that he served his apprenticeship with a firm of timber merchants until 1911, when he started business as a building contractor on his own account. Two years later he joined Millars' Timber and Trading Co. Ltd. and, after serving in the war, with commissioned rank, resumed work in the same firm's employ, and remained with them until 1928. In that year he resigned from the firm in order to engage in building contracts in partnership with his father since deceased. Later the economic depression began to tell on the business. When his father retired from the partnership debtor continued to work alone …[but] since February, 1930, seven out of 27 contracts resulted in losses, one of them being a loss of £485.

Construction c.1934 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that this house was Notes and constructed in c.1934 for Freda Cohen, while the Electoral Rolls of 1936 more Associations specifically identified the occupants as Reginald Arthur Cohen (railways employee) and Freda Lilian Cohen (home duties). Online family trees suggest that Reginald (c.1886-1946) had been widowed in 1928, prior to his marriage to Freda Lilian Clarkson (c.1893-?) in c.1934. The Post Office Directories continued to list Freda at this address until 1949, and a brief newspaper notice suggests that she sold the house in 1951 (later living in Floreat and then Subiaco).

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity By comparison with other similar houses in Daglish, the timber batten detailing to the gable is inconsistent with the overall style of the place and may relate to later renovations. Construction c.1934 date Historical Analysis of the Rate Books suggests that 24 Troy Terrace was constructed in c.1934 for Notes and a Mrs Burgenner, but there was no entry for this place in the Post Office Directory of Associations 1935 and no other references has been found for this surname in Western Australia. In the 1937-38 Rate Books, Hugh and Florence Curgenven were listed as the owners and they were also listed as the occupants in the Post Office Directories of 1936-1939. Given the broad similarity of the surnames (and possible recording and transcription errors) it seems quite likely that Hugh Raymond Curgenven (postal employee) and Florence Mabel Curgenven (home duties) were actually the original owner/occupiers. The property changed hands in 1938-39 and John Denis Robertson (retired) was the owner/occupant from 1940, living here with his wife, Ethel May Robertson (home duties) until around the time of his death in 1967. Ethel was still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1980, together with Joan Dorothy Robertson (stenographer).

5.9 Willcock Avenue Willcock Avenue has 7 houses fronting the south-western side of the street (Lots 109 to 155 of DP 203612), and 7 houses fronting the north-eastern side of the street (Lots 156 to 122 of DP 203612). Both blocks at the south-eastern end of the street address Stubbs Terrace (Lots 108 and 123). The size of the residential blocks ranges from 627m2 to 650m2 (approximately 15.24 x 42.7m). The road reserve is approximately 20m wide, with a sealed roadway of approximately 7m. The wide verges along either side are predominantly grassed and lined by mature coral trees (Erythrina). Concrete footpaths run adjacent to the fences along both sides of the street. Six metre wide laneways running off Willcock Avenue serve the rear of the blocks along Stubbs Terrace. Other 6m wide lanes serve the rear of the Willcock Avenue houses. As summarised below, 3 of the 14 houses were constructed in the late 1920s, 10 in the 1930s and 1 in the mid-twentieth century. The readily available information suggests that most, if not all, were built for owner/occupiers. Nine the original families were long-term residents of the street (remaining here for at least 15 years).

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low authenticity Prominent additions to the main façade have altered the scale and form of the place in a ‘seamless’ manner, interpreting traditional detailing to integrate the old and new. Construction c.1928 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books indicates that this place was constructed in c.1928 for Notes and Cecil Shannon, clerk and cashier, while the Electoral Rolls of 1931 more specifically Associations identified the occupants as Cecil Roberts Shannon (cashier) and Mona Maud Shannon (home duties). Online family trees and newspaper notices suggest that Cecil (c.1898- 1960) had married Mona Maud Annear (c.1906-1975) in Midland Junction in April 1927, which indicates that they settled here at the beginning of their married lives. The Post Office Directories listed the Shannon family at this address until c.1941, but the house was placed on the market in 1937 and again in 1939: DAGLISH: Modern Home, 5 rooms, garage, sewered, well kept, a real bargain. 10 Willcock-ave.

Contributory Some contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Medium authenticity The redesign of the original corner porch as a front verandah has altered the style of this place, but the form and detailing of the porch can still be readily understood from the remaining elements. Construction c.1936 date Historical An analysis of the Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that this place was Notes and built in 1935 for Clement James. In 1938-39 the entry in the Rate Books also included Associations the initials WHB, which suggests that the house was constructed with assistance from the Workers’ Homes Board. This is confirmed by an advertisement placed in January 1936 in which the Workers Homes Board called for tenders for the “erection and completion” of houses including “101/35. BRICK HOUSE on Lot 111 Willcock-ave., DAGLISH.” In the Electoral Rolls of 1936 the occupants were more specifically identified as Clement Preston James (engineer) and Marjorie Lillian James (home duties). Newspaper notices recorded the marriage of Clement to Marjorie Tredrea in Perth in November 1934 and they had two children before Marjorie died as a complication of childbirth in January 1948 (aged 34 years). Clement appears to have remarried by 1949, when he was sharing the house with Edith Laura James, and this couple were still listed at this address in the Electoral Rolls of 1980. Analysis of historical aerial photographs indicates that the house originally had a smaller porch abutting the projecting wing, but that this was extended at some stage around the 1980s.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low authenticity Major alterations to the original form of the roof, the width of the main façade and changes to the wall and roof finishes have combined to significantly diminish the authenticity of this house. Construction c.1937 date Historical An analysis of Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that this place was Notes and constructed in c.1937 for Alfred Wortley while, in the same year, the Electoral Rolls Associations more specifically identified the occupants as Alfred George Wortley (carpenter) and Grace Annie Wortley (home duties). Online family trees suggest that Alfred (c.1907-1942) had married Grace Annie Thornhill (c.1904-1987) in Perth in c.1934. Grace continued to live in the house after her husband’s death (sharing the house with her mother, Ethel, for a few years) and was still listed at 18 Willcock Avenue in the Electoral Rolls of 1980. A historical photograph of this place, dated 1937, is held by the Subiaco Museum. This confirms that the house was originally face brick over rock-faced stone foundations, with a simple hipped, tiled roof and no window awning. The paired columns to the verandah are original, but the verandah and house have been extended to the south- east. An analysis of historical aerial photographs confirms that the roof form and roof materials were altered in c.2005-2006.

Contributory Little contribution to the heritage values of the streetscape Significance Low to medium authenticity Prominent additions at the font of the house (in a “seamless” style) have significantly impacted on the original scale and form of this place. Construction c.1934 date Historical In February 1934, the Workers Homes Board called for tenders for the “erection and Notes and completion” of a number of houses, including “304/38. BRICK HOUSE on Lot 115, Associations Willcock-ave., Daglish.” An analysis of the Rate Books and Post Office Directories suggests that this house was constructed for Andrew Reid and, in 1936, the Electoral Rolls more specifically identified the occupants as Andrew Walters Reid (clerk) and Gladys Irene Reid (home duties. Andrew and Gladys were still listed at 19 Willcock Avenue in the Electoral Rolls of 1949, but had moved to Wembley by 1954. An analysis of historical aerial photographs confirms that the projecting wing on the south-western side of the main façade was added in the period c.1995-2000. While this prominent addition was undertaken in a ‘seamless’ style it has altered the original form and scale of the place.
