The Wannaeue site was occupied for over a century by one of Strathmore's earliest houses, erected in the 1870s by prominent local resident (and co-founder of Cobb & Co coaches) John Murray Peck (1830-1903). Subsequently occupied by his widow until her death in 1928, and thence by long-time Broadmeadows Shire Secretary A T C Cook (whose son also operated a poultry farm on the property), the house was demolished in 1980. The site, now occupied by a restaurant, retains remnant plantings in the form of Canary Island date palms, privet hedge and pepper trees, as well as a portion of the woven wire boundary fence along the Gaffney Street side.
How is it significant?
The Wannaeue homestead site is of historical significance to the City of Moonee Valley.
Why is it significant?
Historically, the Wannaeue site is significant for associations with the earliest house to be built in the Strathmore area. It also has associations with important local residents, namely its original occupant John Murray Peck, co-founder of Cobb & Co, whose family was responsible for two nineteenth century houses elsewhere in Strathmore that still survive, as well as associations with subsequent owner A T C Cook, Shire Secretary to the Shire of Broadmeadows for forty years. The remaining fabric, which evidently dates from Cook's tenure, includes mature trees and fencing that provides rare evidence of agricultural activity (in this case, poultry farming) that characterised this part of Strathmore well into the twentieth century but has since entirely disappeared. |
