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.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust.
House, 8 Scott Street was built in 1899 for Thomas Webb, a shipwright. Mr Webb lived in the house until at least 1914. It was then owned and occupied by William Urquhart. The Urquhart family retained ownership until the early 1970s, when it was purchased by Mabel Done. An extension to the front room was completed in 1934.
A plan dated 1954 shows House, 8 Scott Street as a weatherboard house with an asbestos sleep-out at the rear. The 1934 extension to the front room is clearly shown on the diagram and the house did not have any front verandah at this time. A curved path led from the corner of the block to the front door. Another path at the rear linked the back door with an asbestos outbuilding.
In 1992, plans were submitted to the City of Fremantle for a new residence. The existing house was demolished and an archival record was deposited in the Fremantle Local History Collection.
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.
