22385 North Fremantle Precinct
Demolished. Retained on database for historical information only.
House, 6 Higham Road was a single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage with symmetrical facade designed as a simple example of the InterWar Californian Bungalow style of architecture. Walls were rendered and painted masonry. Roof was a complex hipped tiled roof with exposed eaves. There was a front porch under a separate hipped tiled roof supported by rendered and painted brick columns. Front elevation was asymmetrical. There was a low brick wall to the front boundary line. Demolished post 2005.
Messrs Congdon, Higham and Abbott subdivided this area of North Fremantle in the early 1890s. The residential lots were gradually sold off, and by 1905, the Higham Road had been declared a public highway. The road was named for John Joseph Higham, one of the original developers. Several of the lots remained undeveloped until the inter-war period. As late as 1935/36, there was only one house on the southern side of Higham Road (No. 10). House, 6 Higham Road was built c. 1940. In 1945, Alfred Sturcke was listed as the occupant. The house was assessed and described in 2005 and recommended for inclusion on the MHI. This did not happen and since then it has been demolished. There is now a new house on the site.
