Municipal Inventory | Adopted | 18 Sep 2000 | Limestone Feature(s) |
The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.
House, 110 South Street is a single storey limestone, masonry and corrugated iron house constructed in the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is skillion and hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof supported by timber. The symmetrical front façade has a central front door and flanked on either side by timber framed sash windows. There is an additional timber framed sash window on the right side of the house. The house is elevated with a set of limestone stairs to the front entrance.
This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. House 110 South St is shown on the August 1917 sewerage diagram as a wood and stone dwelling with a front verandah. It first appears in Council records in 1896 as a three roomed cottage. It was erected by or for Lionel Cole and occupied by John McLean Miller, a confectioner. According to the West Australian Post Office Directory for 1897 Lionel Cole was a carpenter and builder and lived next door to Mr Miller. Lionel Cole continued to own the property until 1930/31. The house was originally no.216, later became no.106 and in 1959/60 became no.110 as it is currently. The house is on Lot 3 of 27.
