Commercial Building, 205 & 207 South Terrace, is a typical rendered masonry single storey building dating from c 1904. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of a commercial building in the Fremantle area.
205 & 207 South Terrace is a single storey rendered masonry commercial building constructed in c1904. The walls are rendered masonry with a decorative parapet and triangular parapet. The windows have been blocked in. There is a suspended awning over the front of the building. The building is located on the front boundary line with a footpath in front.
Commercial Building, 205 & 207 South Terrace was built between 1900 and 1907. A sewerage diagram dated 1907 shows three terraced shops at this property. At this time, they were addressed 71, 73 and 75 Mandurah Road. Each of the shops had a separate recessed entry and the rear yards were separated by fences. The rear of No. 71 (later 203 South Terrace) had a verandah half the length of the northern elevation; this was mirror to the south of No. 75 (later 207 South Terrace). No. 73 (later 205 South Terrace) had a small verandah across the rear. Water closets were located against the back fence in each of the rear yards. In 1914/15, it was one of three shops owned by Henrietta Proctor. The shop and rooms at No 71 (203) was occupied by Philip Jane. Arthur Johnson was the occupant of both the shop at No 73 (205) and the shop and rooms at No 75 (207). Henrietta Proctor was still the owner in the 1950s. In the early 1930s, they were described in the rate books as ‘shops’. At this time, all were tenanted, with Arthur Johnson still at No 75. In the 1950s, Henrietta Proctor was listed as the only occupant. Mervan and Adelaide Proctor were the owners and occupiers in the 1960s. An undated plan (c. 1980) shows lobbies, an office, entertaining areas, a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and store behind the commercial façade at 205 South Terrace. A photograph dated 1978 shows that the place was occupied by ‘Fremantle Fitness’ at this time. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle. No. 203 has been demolished. No. 205 & 207 is one property, currently ‘Ada Rose.’
