This property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place. The existing development on the site has little significance.
Historic building / structures demolished.
Commercial Building, 203 South Terrace was built between 1900 and 1907.
A sewerage diagram dated 1907 shows three terraced shops at this property. At this time, they were addressed 71, 73 and 75 Mandurah Road. Each of the shops had a separate recessed entry and the rear yards were separated by fences. The rear of No. 71 (later 203 South Terrace) had a verandah half the length of the northern elevation; this was mirror to the south of No. 75 (later 207 South Terrace). No. 73 (later 205 South Terrace) had a small verandah across the rear. Water closets were located against the back fence in each of the rear yards.
In 1914/15, it was one of three shops owned by Henrietta Proctor. The shop and rooms at No 71 (203) was occupied by Philip Jane. Arthur Johnson was the occupant of both the shop at No 73 (205) and the shop and rooms at No 75 (207).
Henrietta Proctor was still the owner in the 1950s. In the early 1930s, they were described in the rate books as ‘shops’. At this time, all were tenanted, with Arthur Johnson still at #75. In the 1950s, Henrietta Proctor was listed as the only occupant.
Mervan and Adelaide Proctor were the owners and occupiers in the 1960s.
This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
An undated plan (c. 1980) shows lobbies, an office, entertaining areas, a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and store behind the commercial façade at 205 South Terrace. A photograph dated 1978 shows that the place was occupied by ‘Fremantle Fitness’ at this time.
During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List.
On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.
This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
