House, 10 Alfred Road, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey cottage dating from c.1910. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area.
House, 10 Alfred Road, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage constructed c1910. Walls are painted weatherboards. Roof is gabled corrugated iron with no eaves. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof, supported by timber posts with decorative brackets. The front elevation was originally symmetrical, but it appears that one of the two timber sash windows either side of the central front door has been replaced with aluminium sliding windows. There is a high rendered brick wall to the front boundary line. There are two timber skillion additions to the rear.
Alfred Road developed between 1900 and 1920, with development on the southern side of the road, where houses were numbered consecutively on the same side of the street. Alfred Road displays a mix of duplex and single unit dwellings, some constructed of stone (those built c. 1900 – c. 1910) and others of weatherboard (those built c. 1910 – c. 1920). A number of the houses were built as investment (rental) properties. House, 10 Alfred Road was built c. 1910. By 1921/22, the place was owned and occupied by Herbert Newman. It was described at this time as being a weatherboard house of four rooms. Thomas Hunter purchased the property in the late 1920s. By the mid-1950s, the property was owned and occupied by Alice and Henry Comben. The property was connected to the town sewerage in May 1955. A 1939 plan shows 10 Alfred Road as being a weatherboard house, with a full length front verandah, rear lean-to and shortened verandah. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also 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.
