Statement of Significance

Wyreena Community Arts Centre (formerly Hayward), is a substantial double-storey Bungalow style house built in c1923, designed by Philip B. Hudson architect. It is historically significant as a representative embodiment of the comfortable way of life in the inter-war period, of an executive and his family in a rural setting. It is architecturally significant as representative of the domestic work of Hudson prior to his involvement with the design of the Shrine of Remembrance (1927-34). It is also architecturally significant as a representative of the two-storey Bungalow type influenced by the Vernacular Revival and the Chicago School. It later acquired social significance as a community focus.
