Contextual information

The Anglican Church was originally granted 100 acres (40ha) in Claremont in 1873. Swan Location 907 was created in 1886 and the resized block, now 40 acres (16ha), was granted to the West Australian Synod of the Anglican Church. Part of this land was subdivided into quarter acre housing blocks and advertised as the Glebe Estate in 1896. The Estate was bounded by Bay Road to the west, Alice Road (now Melvista Road) to the north, Stone Road to the east and Goldsmith Road at the south. Riley Road was named after Anglican Archbishop Charles Owen Leaver Riley (1854-1929).
