Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Historic/Archaeological Site	Historic/Archaeological Site Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.

Statement of Significance

House, 24 Norfolk Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from c1940s. The house has little heritage value and does not meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. The site has archaeological significance.

Physical Description

24 Norfolk Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and tile house with an asymmetrical facade constructed in the Inter war Period. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with terracotta tiles. There is a projecting front room. The adjacent verandah has been later infilled with rendered masonry and large windows.

History

Norfolk Street is named after the English county, as per Essex and Suffolk Streets.
House, 24 Norfolk Street was built in 1940/41 for the owner Nick Zanze. The place was occupied by members of the Zanze family until the early 1950s. In 1957, it is noted that the house was owned by Tom Bucat and occupied by 2 adults and 3 children.
Later owners were; Francesco and Tindara La Macchia; and then Blazo and Milica Pocek. In the 1980s it was transferred to the Australian Fishing Industry Council.
In 1981, the Australian Fishing Industry Council submitted plans to the City of Fremantle to convert the building into an office. This involved removing internal walls and leveling the back yard for parking. The front wall of the verandah was removed. At this time the back yard had a carport, two storerooms and a WC. Photographs of the building were taken at this time and indicate the building, a rendered brick and tile structure, was in good condition.
In 2016 demolition of the house was approved after it was found to have little significance to Fremantle. However, the site was identified as having archaeological value.
In 2023 the heritage listing for this place was reviewed as part of the Annual Update of The Heritage List and Local Heritage Survey. On 13 March 2024 Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Local Heritage Survey Management Category to Level 4 Historic/ archaeological Site.
