House, 24 Daly Street is a typical rendered masonry 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 place is a late modified example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
House, 24 Daly Street is a single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are of painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped with no eaves and has a tile cover. The verandah is under a separate tiled roof and has round plastered columns on square brick plinths. The symmetrical facade has a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is an attached single storey garage with a roller door to the side of the house. There is also a low brick balustrade to the verandah. There is a small well kept garden behind a low rendered masonry front boundary wall.
Originally named Gallipoli Street, then Hewitt Street (1909/10), then Frederick Street, in 1951/52 the street was renamed Daly Street in honour of City of Fremantle councillor, Bartholomew T Daly, who served from 1909 to 1912, 1913 to 1922 and from 1924 to 1929. In 1900, Lot 46 of Subdivision 75 (later 24 Daly Street) was vacant land owned by William Chester. By 1905/06, a cottage had been built by the new owner, David Daly senior. Daly was a labourer and continued to live in the house until the mid-1940s, when it was purchased by Annie Matejcich. At this time it was listed as a residence and stables. House, 24 Daly Street is shown on a diagram dated c. 1900 as a stone or brick house with a full length front verandah, and a weatherboard room and galvanised iron room at the rear. A well was located near the back of the house. Gagla Zupanovich purchased the property in the early 1960s, and by the late 1960s the stables were not included in the rate book entries. The property has been owned by the Portelli family since the 1970s. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle") It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
