History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland.

By 1899, a cottage had been built on the lot owned by Patrick Murray. William Thorn, a cordial manufacturer, was listed as the occupant at this time. In 1900, the cottage was purchased by Donald MacKay and a second cottage was built the following year. Donald McDonald MacKay was a pastoralist and MLC for the North Province (1896-1902). Mr MacKay came to Fremantle in 1892/93 after selling his northern pastoral property ‘Mundabullangana’. He married Emily Vincent in 1893 and purchased a number of properties in Fremantle (about 70-80 houses!).

In 1903/04, the cottages were listed in the name of Frank Biddles. They were rental properties throughout this time. The cottages were originally numbered 306 and 308 Mandurah Road (later 206 and 208 Mandurah Road, and then 436 and 438 South Terrace).

In 1914/15, 306 Mandurah Road was bought by Priscilla Nicholls. Ms Nicholls was still living in the house in 1944/45. At this time, John Buckingham was the owner of 308 Mandurah Road, which was occupied by Marian Bryant.

In 1951/52, 206 Mandurah Road was owned and occupied by Florence Clatworthy. Amelia Nelson owned 208 Mandurah Road. It was still occupied by Marian Bryant at this time. This continued to be the situation until Florence Clatworthy died (c. 1970). House, 436 South Terrace was subsequently sold and has had a number of owners since then. Duplex, 438 South Terrace was also sold c. 1970.

A diagram dated 1954 shows a house with a full length front verandah and a long narrow weatherboard extension at the rear.

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. There is further information available at the Local History Library blue files in a heritage assessment prior to demolished dated 1999.

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.

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
