Duplex, 5-7 Barnett Street is a good example of a stone attached pair in the Victorian Georgian style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Duplex, 5-7 Barnett Street is a single storey stone duplex with tuck pointed brick quoining to the corners, window and door openings. There is a corrugated iron hipped roof and a bull nosed verandah which extends across the facade.
Barnett Street is named after Henry Calvert Barnett whose first government appointment was in 1868. Barnett was Superintendent of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum 1872 and Colonial Surgeon until 1895. He was also a Member of the first Medical Board, 1894. Stables and a coach house existed on the lot in 1885. They belonged to Henry Calvert Barnett. Duplex, 5-7 Barnett Street was a residence and architects’ office in the 1980s. Additions were undertaken to the residence in 1985. There was a caveat on the title to undertake work on the property which was lifted in 1989. After this, the owners undertook reconstruction of the front verandah in the original colour scheme. An external Heritage Assessment was prepared in June 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA249/09) for proposed alterations to the original stables at rear.
