The place is an example of a residence 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.
Single storey rendered single faced house has a tiled gabled roof and dropped verandah. The place is partially hidden behind a limestone wall and palm foliage.
The map titled P.W.D. W.A. 6409 and dated 1898 shows no dwellings on this part of Swanbourne Street. The P.W.D. plan no. 13017 dated 1913 shows a narrow stone or brick dwelling on a narrow block with a timber or iron verandah at the front and the rear, with a stone or brick outbuilding behind the house and a timber or iron extension on the rear of the outbuilding.
A black and white photo taken in 1978 shows 29 Swanbourne Street as a narrow house with a front door on the right hand side if facing the house. There is a tiled roof and tiled verandah. Construction appears to be rendered or painted stone or brick. There is a low wall to the verandah, also a low wall with a metal gate (a frame and cyclone mesh) at the front of the block. The house would appear to be one room wide opening off a hallway. There is a small gothic louvered vent in the front gable end. There is no access to the rear of the block on the right hand side of the house, and limited access on the left hand side.
This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment")
