House,37 Scott Street is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1928. 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.
Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical partially infilled verandah to the front facade. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards. The roof gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof has been later partially enclosed with weatherboards and timber framed windows. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary with a small garden area behind.
House, 37 Scott Street was built in 1927/28 for Willoughby Showell at a cost of ₤450. In 1930/31, the house was owned by Ursula Showell and occupied by George Johnson. The house remained in the Showell family: Evelyn Showell was listed and the owner in 1939/40. She retained ownership until 1974/75, when the property was bought by William and Violet Mills, who had been tenants from c. 1950 to c. 1968. The house had had a number of owners since the late 1970s. The house is shown on a 1954 diagram as a weatherboard and asbestos residence with a full length front verandah. A large galvanised iron shed was located in the back yard. Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent partially clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
