General notes:

Period: EdwardianConstruction date: c1914, c1915History:The house at 39 Bayswater Road first appears in the Sands & McDougall directories in 1915 with the first occupant of the house recorded as William Collins. The house at 37 Bayswater Road appears in the directories in the following year. The occupant of this house is noted as Mrs M Teasdale. By 1920, the occupants of both houses had changed, with Robert Cunningham the resident No.37 and Robert Ford at No.39..Description:The houses at 37-39 Bayswater Road are a single storey detached pair of Edwardian weatherboard houses with hipped and gabled corrugated galvanised steel roofs and bullnose verandahs. The verandahs retain their original turned timber posts and cast iron decoration. Each house has a pair of timber framed double hung sash windows, and a recessed entrance porch. Chimneys are brick with corbelled capping's. The timber picket fences are recent..Significance:The houses at 37-39 Bayswater Road, Kensington are of local aesthetic and historic importance. The houses are representative of the timber cottages which were erected in great numbers in Kensington during the early decades of the twentieth century. The houses are intact examples of the Edwardian period and as a pair, make a collective contribution to the surrounding streetscape.
