House, 123 Samson Street, is a single storey timber and iron house dating from c1960. The place makes a contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle and is a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.
House, 123 Samson Street is a single storey masonry and tile house constructed c1960. The roof is hipped and tiled. The walls are painted render. There is a curved flat verandah roof to the right side, with pairs of slim lined steel verandah poles and a concrete verandah floor. There are timber framed casement windows either side of a fixed pane window under the verandah.
Harry McClumpha, who lived at (Lot 20) 125 Samson Street from 1905, also owned adjacent lots 18 and 19 in 1934-35. Lot 19 is now Lot 39, the location of 123 Samson Street.
The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows a vacant lot on the corner of Stokes and Samson Streets. The 1953 aerial photograph (Landgate) still shows a vacant lot, with a walking track cutting through it diagonally from Stokes to Samson Streets, but by 1965, No 123 has been built. It therefore dates as a circa 1960 construction.
Aerial photos (Landgate) show that the roof was extended to the east for a garage in 2003, with large extensions to the rear in 2013; largely altering the size of the house and its original roof form.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability).
High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining.
(These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair to good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
