Heritage Houses of New Junction – 25 Junction Parade

Council has resolved to retain four New Junction buildings and their front setbacks.

The Local government Inventory describes 25 Junction Parade building as “The former house was originally constructed as a brick and iron residence in c1903. The high hipped roof has been replaced with a more shallow hipped form and is now clad with tiles creating a completely different aesthetic. The front verandah has also been removed in its entirety with the facade now being an open element.

The place has some aesthetic value for the remaining detail of the Federation Queen Anne style constructed 1903. The place has historic value for its association with the development of this portion of Midland in the early 20th century. The place is associated with the Robertson family, well known in the Midland community, who occupied the place from 1913 to the late 1960s. The place has social value as a demonstration of the scale and form of housing for skilled tradesmen and their families in the early 20th century.”
