Statement of Significance

The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.

History

This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on: 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986.

Sewerage Diagram no.84 Nov.1908 shows a timber dwelling with a front verandah in the far western corner on the boundary with South St. There is a well in the centre of the lot with a large wood shed at the far eastern corner at the rear adjacent to the timber water closet, i.e. the existing house is not the original structure as per this sewerage diagram.

In 1909/10 lots 7, 8, 9 of 17 CSL 7 were entered in the rate book as a cottage and shed owned by Robert Johnstone. This property continued to be recorded as a cottage and shed until 1924-25 when the entry changed to state there was a residence and garage owned by Belle Johnson, occupied by John McDonald. (Possibly this refers to the new building which is as it stands today.)
