Statement of Significance
The place is a good example of a rendered masonry residence in the Inter War Californian Bungalow style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the Post World War I period.
The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Physical Description
Single storey brick to dado height and rough cast rendered above house has a terracotta tile hipped roof with three half timbered gables and two rendered chimneys. The verandah extends two sides and is supported by masonry piers. The timber casement windows and paneled front door with multi-paned glass above are extant.
History
Ellen Street was named for Ellen Mangles of Woodbridge, Surrey, England, wife of Sir James Stirling, the Governor.
The land on which house 53 Ellen Street stands was vacant in 1919/20 and owned by James Pridham. In the following rate period ownership changed to Mrs F. G. Balfour and in 1921/22 ownership changed again to Trustees of the Methodist Church. In 1923/24 a Manse was built and occupied by Rev Charles Jenkins. By 1930/31, Rev Eric Nye was living in the manse and by 1938/39 Rev William Ernest Freeman was the tenant.
The house has had several changes of number. It was originally known as number 73 and changed in 1938/39 to number 41 before finally becoming 53 Ellen Street in the early 1950s. The house is on Lot 1 of 525.
