251 South Terrace is a single storey rendered masonry commercial building constructed in c1897. The walls are rendered masonry with a simple stepped parapet. There is a recessed front entrance and a rendered upstand to the shop front windows. There is a suspended awning over the front of the building. The building is located on the front boundary line with a footpath in front. There is a 2009 two storey addition to the rear.
Commercial Building, 251 South Terrace was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1901/02, Amelia Henville owned the shop, which was occupied by William Snowden. By 1930/31, David Smirk was the owner and occupier. At this time, the street address was 139 Mandurah Road. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a brick shop built to the street boundary. It had a flat façade and no verandah is marked on the plan. There was an L shaped weatherboard addition at the rear that extended to join a galvanised iron structure in the back corner. Two more galvanised iron structures were located in the north western corner of the lot. Between c. 1940 and at least the mid-1960s, Commercial Building, 251 South Terrace was owned by Maria Anastas. During this time, the shop was leased to a succession of tenants. The rate books for the 1950s record a residence at the rear (as described from the Metro Sewerage plan). This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle. Development approved and currently underway for a two storey addition (2009).
