House, 18 Scott Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from 1927. 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 rendered masonry and tile cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1927 with a two storey addition to the rear. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with tiles. The half verandah is under a continuous tiled roof with square timber posts on rendered masonry piers. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window and tiled awning over. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a brick fence to the front boundary and a garden area behind.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust.
House, 18 Scott Street was built in 1927. In 1934/35, John Doherty was listed as the owner and occupier. Mr Doherty retained ownership until his death in 1977. The house was subsequently purchased from his estate by Colin Barron and has had a number of owners since c. 1990.
House, 18 Scott Street is shown on a 1954 diagram as a brick house with a verandah to the side. The plan form is quite unusual for South Fremantle. Extensive paving led from the street down the side and around the back of the house, linking with the front and back doors and an asbestos building in the backyard (perhaps the garage).
Significant additions were made to the rear of the house c. 1994. The extensions were designed by Darren Miller and they won a 1994 Building Design Association of Australia Award.
This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - YELLOW - significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
