Zusammenfassung der Bewertungen für die Kategorie 'Historisch'Das Pinctada McAlpine House im Herzen von Broome ist ein prächtiges historisches Gästehaus, das einen einzigartigen Aufenthalt bietet. Das jahrhundertealte, denkmalgeschützte Gebäude versprüht den Charme der alten Welt und hat eine lange Geschichte, die sich in der Atmosphäre des denkmalgeschützten Hauses widerspiegelt. Das Gebäude selbst ist geschichtsträchtig, denn es war einst das Haus eines Master Pearlers und später die Residenz von Lord McAlpine. Die Gäste können die Authentizität des historischen Hauses erleben und sogar in einem der beiden originalen Pearler's Veranda-Zimmer aus dem Jahr 1910 übernachten. Das schöne historische Gebäude hat eine reiche Geschichte, die die Besitzerin Marilynne großzügig mit den Gästen teilt. Die Boutique-Unterkunft mit nur acht Zimmern bietet einen ruhigen und komfortablen Aufenthalt. Obwohl es sich um ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude handelt, sind die Zimmer sehr komfortabel, mit Kingsize-Betten und großen Badezimmern mit Duschen ausgestattet. Es ist ein Stück Geschichte, das in Anbetracht seines Alters bewundernswert instand gehalten wird, was es zu einem schönen historischen Anwesen mit einem attraktiven Ambiente macht. Für Geschichtsliebhaber ist dieses Hotel eine historisch interessante und einzigartige Erfahrung.

Was ist die Geschichte der Immobilie?
The land Broome Lot 194 was purchased in 1904 by George Moss, a stock and station agent of Broome.
The house was originally built by Nellie Talboys who purchased the property in 1910, and it transferred to her husband Harry Talboys in 1913 on her death. Harry was a master mariner and pearler who built a pearling fleet from a single lugger. The property then passed to their son Charles Talboys, business manager on Harry's death in 1933. T.H. 'Bert' Kennedy purchased it in 1945. Bert's daughter Nita Jean and her husband Peter Haynes moved into the house soon after they married in the 1940s and raised their family here.
In 1982 the property transferred to Fieldon Pty Ltd. It became the residence of Lord Alistair McAlpine during his time in Broome. In 1997, he sold it to Colin and Cheryl Wilkinson who modified the premises to a guest house, which opened in 1998. In 1999 it was purchased by Marilynne Paspaley AM, a member of the successful Paspaley pearling family operating in Broome and the Kimberley since the 1930s. It now operates as a premium boutique hotel of 8 rooms, known as Pinctada McAlpine House.

Gibt es in der Immobilie Elemente von besonderer historischer Bedeutung?
The style of construction was specifically simple to suit the climate and also the need to ship all building materials from Perth. The corrugated iron sheets (today known as mini-orb) used for walls was flat-packed, the rafters and timber framing was the hardwood Jarrah and the corrugated roofing panels were all practical materials which minimised the volume of materials shipped and therefore the freight costs. They require little maintenance and survive particularly well in the climate of the region. The large verandahs provided shade and a generous flow of air for outdoor enjoyment around the enclosed rooms. There was no embellishment other than the hand-made lattice screens, and overall the property exhibits a very practical approach to the use of materials and a construction style that suits the climate and shows a knowledge of the movement of the sun, the sea breezes and the rain storms.
