House, 3 Hulbert Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1924. 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 South Fremantle area.
Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade constructed in 1924. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards. The roof gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof with turned timber posts and decorative timber brackets. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works.
In 1920/21, Lot 63 of Subdivision 11 (later 3 Hulbert Street) was vacant land owned by James Healy. It was subsequently bought by Frederick Staer and in 1922/23, Staer had a shed built on the lot. It was a timber and iron garage valued at ₤16. Staer was a painter and land developer who lived in Beach Street, Fremantle.
Approval was given for a timber and iron residence in June 1924. Originally numbered 11, the house was let to a number of tenants. The first was John McCorry, a fireman.
By 1930/31, Lillian Hodge was the owner of the property and Margaret Ford was the occupant. Jessie Burnett owned the property from c. 1940 (when the house number changed to 3) to c. 1977. The house was occupied by a number of successive tenants during that time.
A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 3 Hulbert Street as a weatherboard cottage with a full length front verandah with a galvanised garage attached to one side.
House, 3 Hulbert Street has had a number of owners since the 1970s.
