Physical Description

Historic building / structures demolished.

History

Duplex, 142 Marine Terrace and its pair at No. 144 was built in 1930 for Alexander Moir at a cost of £600. Alexander Moir was from a prominent family in the Goldfields/Esperance area and he leased the cottages to tenants during his 25-year ownership of the duplexes. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows an attached pair of brick cottages at 142 and 144 Marine Terrace. Both had full length front verandahs and a paved area at the rear. There was an asbestos structure behind Duplex, 142 Marine Terrace. Between the late 1950s and late 1960s, Duplex 142 and Duplex 144 Marine Terrace were bought by John Tavcar. Mr Tavcar lived in one of the cottages and leased the other to tenants. The property has been owned by Stephen Cicerello since 1972. Duplex has since been demolished for an attached two storey pair of residences. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
