House, 21 Hulbert Street, is a typical weatherboard and tile single storey house dating from 1905. 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.

The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with tiles The verandah is under a broken back tiled roof with square timber posts. The front facade is asymetrical with a front door and timber framed window. There is a low level brick wall to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. In 1900, there were two cottages on Sub 147, Town Lot 25 (later 21 Hulbert Street). The cottages were owned and occupied by William Cox, a carter, and John Cox, a farmer. Only one cottage was listed on the property in 1905/06. At this time, it was owned and occupied by William Cox. Cox retained ownership until c. 1935. It was rental property from c. 1920. Mrs RJ Jones owned the house in 1935/36. John Cunnold was listed as the occupant in this year. Mrs D P Wallis was the owner between c. 1945 and c. 1962. Again, it was rental property during this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 21 Hulbert Street as a small, narrow weatherboard cottage with a full length front verandah. Number 19 of similar plan was also located on the lot at
