House, 3 Thomas Street, is an altered limestone and iron single storey house dating from 1903. 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.
Single storey limestone, brick and iron cottage designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Since extended and altered. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under separate iron bullnose roof with square timber posts. There is a limestone and brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Thomas Street was not formed until c. 1900 and was named for Captain John Thomas, an early land owner in the area. House, 3 Thomas Street was built between 1905 and 1910. In 1909/10, Herbert Barnes was the owner and occupier of the cottage. Barnes sold the cottage to William Day c. 1925. The house remained in the Daly family until c. 1950. From c. 1940, it was listed as being owned by Mary Daly, and it was a rental property from that time. In 1949/50, House, 3 Thomas Street was owned and occupied by Augusta and Giovanni Azzola. The Azzolas sold the house to Guiseppe Blogna in the mid-1960s. It had a few owners in the 1960s, before being owned by the Cant family from c. 1970 to c. 1990. A diagram dated 1954 shows an unusually shaped stone residence. Set against one of the side boundaries, the house projected to the front and rear, with half length front and rear verandahs forming a rectangular floor plan. A weatherboard shed and galvanised iron stable were located at the rear of the backyard. A photograph dated 1993 shows some additions to the house, including a viewing platform on the roof.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent partially clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
