House, 23 Lilly Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from c 1915. 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
23 Lilly Street is a single storey (with two storey addition to rear), brick, rendered masonry and iron house built c.1915 with an asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are face brick and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof and is supported by turned timber posts with decorative iron brackets and frieze. There is an iron security grill on the window to the right of the front door. There is a second storey addition at the rear clad in timber weatherboards with corrugated iron roof. There is a brick chimney with pots evident. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line. Proliferate foliage makes further description difficult.
Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 23 Lilly Street was built between 1913 and 1922. In 1922/23, it was listed in the rate book as a cottage owned and occupied by Grace and Ernest Porter. Grace Porter continued to own the property until c. 1950, although it was rented to a succession of tenants from c. 1930. From c. 1950 until c. 1970, House, 23 Lilly Street was owned and occupied by Ruby Graham. The property changed hands several times in the 1970s before being bought by Guyatt Hall and Lucy Dow. They were still the owners in 2004. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
