House, 19 Scott Street, is a typical brick and tile single storey house dating from 1920. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Inter War California Bungalow style of architecture.
Single storey brick and tile cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1920. The walls are face brick. The roof is hipped and gabled with eaves and clad with tiles. The half verandah is under a separate gabled tiled roof with square timber posts on rendered masonry piers. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding verandah. There is a brick and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a garden area behind. An open carport has been constructed to the front of the house.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 19 Scott Street was built in 1920/21 at a cost of ₤1,600. It was owned and occupied by Lillian Embelton. Lillian moved out c. 1930 and the house was then occupied by a succession of tenants. Trevor Embelton was the registered owner and occupant from c. 1945 to his death in 1978. Anna Embelton was the owner and occupier in 1991. The house has since been sold out of the Embelton family. A 1954 diagram shows House, 19 Scott Street as being a large brick house well set back from the street. The facade had a bay window on one side and a verandah on the other. A separate brick garage was located on the street boundary. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - YELLOW - significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
