Swinden Street was originally the driveway for a CSIRO research facility, linking the site to Northbourne Avenue. Large gum trees were planted there in the 1930s, many of which were later removed during a replacement program in the 1980s and 2000s.
The site sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This reflects the limestone foundation that gave Canberra its early name, ‘Limestone Plains’.
The house is located in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. At the territory level it is part of the ACT Legislative Assembly electorate of Kurrajong.
