This property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place. The existing development on the site has little significance.
Historic building / structures demolished.
Jenkin Street was originally named By-the-Sea Road. It was renamed in 1909/10 for Reverend J G Jenkin of the South Fremantle Methodist Church.
In 1895, a cottage of two rooms was listed on the property. It was owned and occupied by William Fern, a carrier. By 1900, the house was owned and occupied by Mary and Charles Illingworth. Charles was a railway worker.
Between c. 1905 and the early 1950s, House, 29 Jenkin Street was owned by Florence Knight. It appears to have been a rental property throughout this time. John Jones, a driver, was the occupant in 1905/06. Other tenants included Henry Cough, Reginald Lane, Eacolt Argyll, Robert Crocker and Clifford Carter.
A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 29 Jenkin Street as weatherboard, with a full length front verandah.
House, 29 Jenkin Street was purchased by Gerald Groves in the early 1950s and has subsequently been owned by John Calwell (1960s) and Arnott Mills and Ware (early 1970s).
This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
The original house was demolished and replaced with a new residence c. 1995.
During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List.
On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.
This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
