Aesthetically significant as a fine example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. This place contains a limestone feature. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s.
