House, 1 Manning Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1901. 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture from the Federation period.
1 Manning Street is a single storey, weatherboard and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed in the Federation period but in a Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with weatherboards. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The facade has a central front door with fanlight and sidelight flanked either side by double hung sash windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof and is supported by square timber posts with an infilled fibro balustrade. The sides of the verandah have been enclosed with fibro and glass. There is a rendered masonry and face brick wall to the front boundary line and a brick corbelled chimney.
This timber cottage was built in 1901 for the owner and occupier August Geyer who was a carter or carrier by trade. He owned and occupied the house until 1905 when it was transferred to storeman Peter Joseph Walsh. The 1908 sewerage plan of this site shows that the timber cottage had front and rear verandahs. In the back yard of the property was a timber shed and closet.
Medium to high degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining but with some alterations. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
