“Ian McCall was brought up in the old house on the corner of Staton Road and Fraser Street. He was the first Judge of the family law court. He was younger than my father Bill Jacobs and may still be alive. To us he was Uncle Ian and we loved him to come over and according to my mother "stir us up" just before bedtime!!

His mother we knew just as Mrs McCall and she had a pretty vicious sulphur crested cockatoo in a cage on the side verandah - we were well warned to keep our fingers clear.

Ian's sister was known as Bubbles McCall. I think Mrs McCall's maiden name was Wearne. Wearne House was named for the family and I understand they gave much if not all of the money to set up Wearne House. Ian McCall was a trustee for quite some time.”

Boris Frank Zuvela, a draftsman in the Public Works department designed the house in 1957 and lived there until his death in 2005.

Boris Frank Zuvela was born in Fremantle 20.6.1930. His father Antun Zuvela (1896-1968) was born in Vela Luka, Korcula, Croatia and came to WA in the 1920s where he married Franica Vlasic (1907- 1998) in 1926 in Fremantle. His father later lived at 56 Preston Point Road from 1958-1968 with his brother Maxim (b 1940-also an architect, who worked alongside Brian Klopper in the Public Works Dept in 1962) and his wife Francis from 1958-1968.

Boris also had an older brother- Antonio/Anthony Zuvela (1927-2015) who was a teacher. He started at Beaconsfield Primary School in 1946 and was deputy headmaster at Willagee Primary school from 1955 and principal there from 1978-1980.

Boris gained a Architectural diploma from Perth Technical College and began working as a draftsman in April 1954. He married Eileen Patricia ‘Pat’ Chinnery in 1955. She was also a teacher. Eileen Chinnery was a teacher at Armadale Junior High school in 1954. When married -she worked as a teacher at Hilton Park, 1955, Willagee Primary school, 1956-1957, East Hamilton Hill Primary school, 1971-1973 and South Terrace Primary school 1975- 1980.

Boris and Pat had three daughters (Lindi (1959-2019 dec) and two sons.

Boris died of pancreatic cancer 15 October 2005, in East Fremantle, aged 75 and is memorialised at Fremantle Cemetery.

Paul Zuvela: “Some time ago I started a timeline of my life which includes many Fraser Street entries and I often revisit and am always astonished and proud at what we as a family did in the time available. Dad was a remarkable man as were his two brothers and sister in their own rights. I often state how lucky I was to be brought up in such a wonderful era.

The attached photo shows the original house (1955) that dad built completely by hand and before we added the North-East extension in 1972. 1955 was the year my eldest sister Fran (Pesich) was born.

Easton house can be seen situated behind and my understanding was the land was all part originally part of the Easton estate.

The staircase ran up the facing limestone wall to the entry shown and was moved to its current location when the extension was built. There is a significant amount of limestone work on the property which was hand carved out of the block and constructed with his stonemason father Anton’s help. Originally it was a 3 bed, 1 bath, 1 toilet with the extensions making it 6 bed, 1 bath, 1 toilet. Mum had what was originally bed 2 converted to a 2nd bath/en suite after dads passing.

While the house was always a standout in the street it must be remembered it was amateur built and was fully clad in asbestos fibre sheeting (it had its fair share of problems). Dad was a strong supporter of asbestos and we to this day still have the asbestos legacy in another house we built as a family in 1974 (Lancelin 1 of 2).

I often wonder how much dad was influenced/guided by the architectural division at PWD where he worked as Fraser Street was in stark contrast to everything that followed.

Dad was not a talker but a doer, an extremely practical man that despised waste at all levels and also at odds with the perception that government bodies attract in general. While dad was always quietly proud of his achievements it was his family he was most proud of. It has been interesting discussing Fraser street with mum as her memories now tend to be around the hardships they endured both financially and physically.

The other photo is the letterbox dad made originally and which I replaced with an identical version before mum sold in 2019. Regards Paul Zuvela 2022 (PBZ <pzuvela@bigpond.com>)

HISTORY

1915 Y.M.C.A. After the annual examination of the Australasian Corporation of Public Accountants on Friday, the Y.M.C.A. students gathered at the association rooms for a luncheon in honour of the head tutor of the Y.M.C.A .Accountancy school, Mr. C. A. Hendry, A.I.A.,W.A. Dr. Macaulay, who presided, referred to the many changes and developments of the Y.M.C.A. during the past decade or two. The spiritual side of man's nature had always received attention. As the association progressed the mental and physical features were made prominent. The education development had been great, and this particular part of the Perth association's propaganda had been very successful. With regard to the head tutor, the students had all one story to tell: one of complete satisfaction. He then, on behalf of the students presented Mr. Hendry with a pair of handsome hairbrushes and a fountain pen. Mr. E. A.Black (Under Treasurer), supervisor of the school, said it was gratifying to know that the students recognised the fine abilities of Mr. Hendry. In him were combined an unassuming manner and a thorough knowledge of accounts which gave him special effectiveness as a tutor. The accountancy school was considered one of the best advertisements the association could have... They were happy in having amongst their staff one who had so quickly made his mark on the educational community as a first-rate accountancy tutor. He was proud to be associated in work for the men of this country with accountancy tutors like Messrs. C. A. Hendry, J. V. Pascoe, and Harold Colvin, the latter of whom had joined the colours. He looked forward in the coming years to the hearty co-operation of the brainy men of the classes in the association's work for God and man in Western Australia. Mr. Hendry expressed his deep gratitude for the tokens of esteem. His deep desire haul been not only for the success of the association, but to gain the friendship of every one of the fine body of men in the class of the Y.M.C.A.Educational Department. In conclusion, he expressed the pleasure that he had experienced in working under the Y.M.C.A. (reference)
