History

House (Fmr Duplex), 360 South Terrace was built c. 1900. In 1900, there was only one cottage (unoccupied) on the lot which was owned by Henry Notley. There were two cottages on the lot by 1914/15.

A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows 360 and 362 South Terrace as an attached pair of cottages. Both had full length front verandahs and partially enclosed rear verandahs. Each had paths leading from the back door to toilets and galvanised iron outbuildings in the back yards.

Henry Notley owned the duplex pair until c. 1940. Nellie Waldeck was the owner in the 1950s and John Notley in the 1960s. Both were leased to tenants throughout this time.

After 1978 the duplex was substantially modified. It was combined into one house, with a second storey above. Part of No. 362 was converted to a garage and there was a large brick addition at the rear.

This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
