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.
Jenkin Street was originally named By-the-Sea Road. It was renamed in 1909/10 for Reverend J G Jenkin of the South Fremantle Methodist Church. In 1892, Lot 78 (later 32 Jenkin Street) was vacant land owned by E H Fothergill. The lot remained vacant until 1929/30, when it was purchased by Frank Manford & Co. Manford was involved in the carrier business and was also a Customs and Forwarding Agents for shipping. Manford has bought the adjacent Lot 79 in 1920/21, where he had stables. Stables were recorded on Lot 78 in 1947/48, the first time that any development is recorded on this lot. The stables remained on Lot 79, suggesting that Manford’s business expanded during this time. In 1950/51, Lots 78 and 79 were listed together as stables owned by Frank Manford & Co Ltd. A diagram dated 1954 shows the lot as being bitumenised. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
