THE HOUSE OF YORK
Above the sturdy front door of the house is a coloured leadlight panel which features the "York Rose". Well-known local potter and ceramicist, Ms Joan Campbell who owned the home at the time, set about re-modelling and extending the original home in the early 1980s. Maximum use has been made of material recovered from the old St. John of God Hospital in Subiaco. This influence is evidenced by the "church" style windows in the lounge room, the back door and "cathedral" ceiling of the lounge/dining area.
The bathroom is very spacious with its floor covered by a multitude of variegated ceramic tiles laid in a seemingly random arrangement. The floor is complemented by set of windows of varying shapes, most of which feature differing patterns in coloured leadlight
The kitchen bench tops are made of sliced timber from trees blown down in the South West during cyclone Albany, while the floor is tiled with what were originally earthenware roofing shingles from an old house in East Perth.
A large main bedroom leads off to a front verandah which is secured by all-round lattice, another Recycled material sourced from the old Claremont Mental Asylum.
