The place is of historic significance as an example of a commercial building in the Old Port City of Fremantle dating from the gold boom period in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The place is a fine example of a Federation Free Classical style building, with elaborate stucco decoration above the ground floor level, that makes a significant contribution to the streetscape. The place is of social significance as evidenced by its classification by the National Trust. Awning and shop fronts are not significant.
Two storey rendered building with highly decorative parapet including balustrade. The three tall pairs of timber sash windows are flanked by pairs of engaged Corinthian columns and have decorative stucco above and brackets below. There is pressed metal under lining of the veranda awning (probably not original), no. 33 shopfront appears original.
High Street was named by Surveyor General Roe - as was customary in English towns, the main street of the town was named High Street. Eastward from William Street the roadway was completed by convict labour after the Town Hall was built in 1887. High Street around the Town Hall closed to traffic in 1966. The High Street Mall was trialled in November 1973 and made a permanent pedestrian mall in 1975. Commercial Building, 33-37 High Street was designed by Cavanagh and Cavanagh and built by R. Rennie c1901. As Athena Lodge, alterations were carried out 1969. In 1975 the building, then offices, was upgraded and alterations were carried out. Currently (2002), two cafes and entrance to offices above.
