PHOTOGRAPH: HOUSE - 47 HENSMAN ROAD

« Prev Item Next Item »

Overview

From a collection of three coloured gloss photographs of house at 47 Hensman Road, Subiaco.

Image shows the street frontage of cream painted brick and stucco house with verandah, red tiled roof and two chimneys. Each chimney has a small mark drawn on the photograph - see following text written in blue ballpoint pen on back of photograph. 'cut these chimneys down to where I have marked then put the pots on again. Don't you think the house would look better. They are tall can't reach the top from the roof so had to erect a platform to work on' (diagram of platform erected on roof).
