House, 24 Scott Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1913. 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 a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate bullnose iron roof with square timber posts and decorative timber brackets. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a rendered masonry and metal fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 24 Scott Street was built between 1910 and 1915. In 1914/15, Edith and Walter Barrington were listed as the owner and occupant of the cottage. The Barringtons retained ownership until c. 1945. In 1949/50, the house was sold to Alice Jenkins by Gladys Berry. In the 1950s, the house was owned and occupied by Santo Marchese and c. 1960, it was sold to Antonino Micale. Mr Micale died in 1982 and the house was subsequently sold. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick house of roughly square plan form with a weatherboard addition at the rear. The addition ran the full width of the house and extended down one side to form a wing. The house had a verandah across the full width of the front of the house. A photograph of the house dated 1978 shows a brick fence in front of the verandah to give the appearance of the verandah being enclosed to half height, with lattice the verandah posts. By 1993, these Southern European influences had been removed. The house had also been re-roofed and the low brick fence at the front replaced with a rendered brick and iron fence. 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) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
