House, 19 Lefroy Road, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1900. 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. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1900. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under broken back corrugated iron roof with round rendered columns with a rendered masonry balustrade. The front facade is asymetrical with a timber window aand front door. The cottage is one room and a hall in width. There is a painted brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller of the Fremantle Prison in the 1860s. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street.
House, 19 Lefroy Road was built c. 1900 for G Bond, a butcher. In 1900, it was described as a cottage and small shop. Harry Price owned the property from c. 1905 to c. 1930 and it was rented to tenants during this time.
Matthew Price was the registered owner of the house from c. 1930 to 1949/50, when it was purchased by Frank Iannello. In the early 1960s, a flat was built on the lot (presumably at the rear of the house; the flat was numbered 19A Lefroy Road). Frank Iannello retained ownership of his investment property until the mid-1960s, when it was bought by Zora and Josip Pervan. The Pervans continued to own the property until the mid-1980s, when it was purchased by the State Housing Commission.
