The building has a special historic value as the base for the tram services running from the foot of High St, which served the population spread to the eastern areas of the municipality at a time of rapid expansion. This is the last remaining evidence of this service. The facade has environmental importance in relation to the west end of High St where demolition has already eroded the coherence of the street. The bulk and form of this facade in visual proximity to the historic Round House is an essential element in the integrity of the Victorian streetscape and the western end of high st,.
The tram service was introduced to Fremantle city area in 1905 and this is the date of the erection of this building. This is a two storey brick structure with stuccoed facade and corrugated asbestos roof. Unsympathetic alterations have been made to the ground floor entrances.
