House, 11 Nelson Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1908. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
11 Nelson Street is a single storey, brick, rendered masonry and iron house with an asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are face brick and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with corrugated iron with a small gable over the verandah with decorative wooden features and finial. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof and is supported by timber posts with decorative iron brackets and frieze. There is a brick and rendered corbelled chimney evident. There is a brick and iron wall to the front boundary line together with proliferate foliage making further description difficult.
This area of South Fremantle was subdivided by Henry Briggs in 1893. However, Nelson Street does not appear in Council records until 1898 and was not developed until c. 1900.
House, 11 Nelson Street was built between 1900 and 1914. In 1914/15, the house was owned by Anna Ulbrick and occupied by Charles Ulbrick. Peter Travia was the owner of the house by 1930/31. The Travia family still owned the property in 1981.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a large brick house with a projecting room with bay window to the east. The house had a full length front verandah, with a centrally located front path and a substantial fence at the street boundary. At the back of the house, there was a large asbestos addition.
