House, 22 Attfield Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from c1900. 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 a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
22 Attfield Street is a single storey, rendered limestone and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered limestone. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The facade has a central front door with fanlight flanked either side by later replacement timber framed windows each with 2 double hung sashes and a fixed central pane. The verandah has a separate bullnose corrugated iron roof and is supported on grouped timber posts on heavy face brick piers. There is face brick half wall balustrading to verandah with render detail. There is a low brick wall to the front boundary. The house appears to have undergone alterations including windows and front verandah details. There are two rendered masonry corbelled chimneys.
House, 22 Attfield Street was formerly numbered 12 Attfield Street. Numbers changed in 1934/35.
This house is first mentioned in the Post Office directories in 1900 when the occupant was Robert Johnson. Earlier records are not conclusive. Later occupants of the house were William Willis and John Pascoe.
The 1908 sewerage plan of the site shows this stone house had a simple rectangular form with a verandah across the full width of the front façade. In the back yard were two galvanised iron sheds and a brick closet.
A photograph of the house in c.1980 shows that a symmetrical façade, two chimneys, a corrugated iron roof to the main house and the verandah roof. The front windows, verandah supports and verandah wall appear to be later additions. The low brick wall and front gate on the front boundary are later additions.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent partially clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability).
Medium degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining but with some alterations.
