24 Malcolm Street is a typical rendered masonry and iron hipped roofed single storey house dating from c1905 that represents the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Malcolm Street streetscape comprises a predominantly single storey scale, substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries streetscape. The dominant materials are brick, limestone, timber, render and corrugated iron. The consistency of scale and materials contributes to the strong aesthetic value of the streetscape. Many of the houses have been the subject of conservation work.
House, 24 Malcolm Street is a single storey, asymmetrical, rendered brick and iron hipped roofed house built c1905. The house is a simple four room cottage with wet areas to the rear. A laundry is external to the house. The boundary fence is limestone block with infill timber pickets. The place is built close to the street boundary (south) on a narrow (11metres) and long (58metres) lot. The site area is 604 square metres and the lot falls substantially (5metres) from the front southern boundary to the rear northern boundary. A brick paved driveway is located along the eastern boundary.
Malcolm Street was named for Sir Malcolm Fraser, the Commissioner of Lands and First Agent General for Western Australia in London (1892).
From the rates books and the Public Works Department Maps it would appear that the cottage at the rear (north) of number 24 was built in 1897/98, but it does not appear on the 1898 map. Number 24 was built after September 1902. Public Works Department Plans from February 1909 show both buildings on this site.
A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Sept 2009 by Carrick + Wills Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0301/09) for proposed additions and alterations, including a double carport, to the existing single storey residence.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent partially clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability).
Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining.
