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.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 20 Scott Street was built in 1918/10 for owner Horace Mews. In 1936, the property was owned by Elizabeth Weedon and occupied by Samuel Solomon. In 1948, it was owned and occupied by Gladys and Leon Poole. The Pooles retained ownership until 1993. A diagram dated 1954 shows a small weatherboard house with weatherboard rooms either side of the front verandah. A separate weatherboard laundry was located in the backyard. Circa 1993, Alan Ross, an architect, prepared a report on the cottage. The report proposed that the existing house and outbuildings be demolished. This was subsequently carried out and a new double-storey limestone and brick residence built in its place. 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.
