30 South Street is a single storey, rendered limestone and iron house with an asymmetrical facade built in 1898 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered limestone. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is asymmetrical with a recessed front door. The front elevation has a timber casement window. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof supported on timber posts. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line and large trees making further description difficult.
House, 30 South Street was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned and occupied by James Drake, an agent. By 1930/31, Hannah Watson was the owner and occupier of the house. By the early 1950s, ownership had been transferred to Clarence Watson, and Winifred Watson was listed at the occupant. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a stone house with a full length front verandah that wrapped around both sides to half the length of the house. There were various additions to the rear, both attached to the house and as separate outbuildings. Clarence Watson owned House, 30 South Street until his death c. 1960. Ownership was then transferred to Winifred Watson. In 1981, the Sinclair family owned the house. This place was 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.
