Heritage Houses of New Junction - 27 Junction Parade

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

The Local Government Inventory describes 27 Junction Parade building as a “Symmetrical house from the late federation era c1913, with dormer gables and a bullnose verandah. Roof, verandah and street façade have been restored and/or replaced to a high quality, but lowering the authenticity of the place.

The place has aesthetic value for its demonstration of the form and detail of a brick residence built in the Federation Queen Anne style. 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 c1914 to the late 1940s. The place has a social value as a demonstration of the scale and form of housing for skilled tradesmen and their families in the early 20th century.”
