House, 1 Barnett Street is a good example of a stone residence in the Federation Queen Anne style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
House, 1 Barnett Street is a single storey stone house with tuck pointed brick quoining to the corners, window and door openings. There is a zincalume hipped and gabled roof and a faceted gabled roofed bay to the projecting front room of the house.
Barnett Street is named after Henry Calvert Barnett whose first government appointment was in 1868. Barnett was Superintendent of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum 1872 and Colonial Surgeon until 1895. He was also a Member of the first Medical Board, 1894.
Lot 3 of 935 was originally owned by Lionel Holdsworth. A building was erected on the site in 1891. William Hampton became the owner of the cottage soon after it was erected and remained so until at least 1934.
Lionel Holdsworth (1826-1901) was convicted in 1867 for scuttling a vessel "the Severn". He arrived in Western Australia in 1868. In 1876 he was granted his ticket of leave and in 1887 a conditional pardon. He went on to become a mercantile clerk and accountant.
