276-278 South Terrace is a single storey, rendered masonry and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are brick. The roof is gabled and clad with corrugated iron. The gable ends have simple timber finials. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof with decorative iron brackets. There is a visible dividing wall through verandah roof. There are at least three chimneys evident, one with chimney pot, two with rendered corbelling. There is a high timber fence with hedge to the front boundary line making further description difficult.
The duplex pair at 276 and 278 South Terrace were built in 1899, for Mrs James Day, a widow. Jessie Day owned the cottages for several years and by 1920, ownership had been transferred to William Day. John Leicester was a long term tenant between c. 1930 and c. 1956. Bertha Kirk became the owner c. 1935 and by the early 1950s, the property was owned by Delice Kirk. The duplexes were previously addressed 60 and 62 Mandurah Road (up to c. 1930) and then 40 and 42 Mandurah Road (c. 1950). A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows 276 and 278 South Terrace as an attached pair of brick cottages, with full length front verandahs. Both residences had full length rear verandahs and detached laundries in the back yard. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
