On 16 November 1993 the Subiaco Senior Citizens Centre Board of Management agreed to donate six paintings by W.F. Stuart to the Subiaco Museum as they were interesting from an historical sense. The painting had previously been donated by the artist to the SSCC in 1969, where they were hung in the dining room.
