History
Fremantle Rate Book records show that Lot 7 of 991 was a vacant lot in 1902/3. The owner was Benjamin Dukes. By 1904/05 he is listed as the owner, occupier of a cottage on the lot which gives an accurate date of construction. Dukes also owned Lot 8 of 991 (now number 18) in 1909/10. He lived at No. 20 until c1915. Occupancy changed often after that (at least every five years) up to 1950, suggesting the place was a rental property for that period.
The house was allocated No. 35 in 1905, and became number 20 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937.
Nos 18, 20 & 26 are similar in design and materials and were built by the same builder (information provided by owner of No. 18, February 2003).
A 1913 plan (PWD 13017) and the 1914 Sewerage Plan (No 2033) show that the house is made of stone, with a verandah that extends the full length of the front and wraps half way around the west side. A set of off-centre steps lead up to the front verandah. There is a rear verandah, and a galvanised iron shed near the house. A retaining wall divides the yard, beyond which is a large fenced off area and a small iron shed on the rear boundary.
