Cottesloe Civic Centre
The Cottesloe Civic Centre lies on the corner of Broome and Napier Streets, Cottesloe, Western Australia. It is a local landmark featuring a substantial two storey building with white walls and an orange tiled roof in the Spanish Mission style. Over 2 hectares (5 acres) in area the site offers extensive views westwards over the Indian Ocean and is a popular venue for picnics, concerts, meetings and weddings. It includes the administration centre for the Town of Cottesloe, the War Memorial Town Hall and extensive walled and landscaped grounds with tall Norfolk Island pines.
Originally built in 1897-8 for Richard Pennefather, it was an elegant example of the Federation Queen Anne style. Claude de Bernales a mining entrepreneur bought the house in 1911 and renamed it "Overton Lodge". In 1937 he extensively remodelled the house in the Spanish Mission Style. In 1950 it was bought by the Town of Cottesloe and remodelled again this time for use as a civic centre. It is included on the State Register of Heritage Places for Western Australia and the Municipal Inventory for the Town of Cottesloe.
== 1896–1911 Pennefather Residence ==
When the house was built in 1896 by Judge Richard W Pennefather there were few neighbouring properties and no proper road to the house. Broome Street did not extend beyond Forrest Street and sand dunes and bush surrounded the house. The house was named Kensettholme (also spelt Kensettholm) and built of limestone quarried from the nearby Briggs quarry (subsequently the Council depot). The arches and lintels to the doors and windows were of brick and the house was surrounded by large verandahs. A latticed tank stand housed the water tanks capable of holding 83,000 litres (22,000 gallons) and a summer house or gazebo stood to the south. In 1898 his wife Florence gave birth to their only child Renee Sylvia (Irene) at home. At the time Pennefather was the Attorney General for Western Australia having been elected to the West Australian Legislative Council in 1897 as the member for Greenough. His headstone lies at the south west corner of the building and was relocated from Karrakatta cemetery.
