House, 32 Attfield Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from c.1934. 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 Fremantle area.
32 Attfield Street is a single storey, weatherboard and iron house with a symmetrical facade constructed in the Inter War period. The walls are timber framed and clad with painted weatherboards. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The original building has been extended by the enclosing of the verandah. It has a hipped roof which extends over the verandah at a reduced pitch. The ‘L’ shaped verandah has been enclosed with an asbestos and glass structure. The windows enclosing it are a combination of hopper windows and fixed panes. The boundary is marked with a fence of steel post and cyclone mesh. Some internal alterations have occurred to accommodate educational functions.
House, 32 Attfield Street, also known as 28 Attfield Street, and is within the Fremantle Primary School boundary on the corner of Attfield and Stevens Street. House, 32 Attfield Street is first mentioned in the Post office directories in 1934/35, occupied by William Sims. The Sims family occupied the house until at least 1949. A photograph of the house c.1980 shows this weatherboard house has a corrugated iron roof and an ‘L’ shaped verandah which has been enclosed with asbestos and glass. The boundary is marked with a fence of timber and cyclone mesh. At this time, the place was being used as a language centre.
