House, 12 Thomas Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from 1897. 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 an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
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 rendered masonry. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with tiles. The verandah is under continuous tile roof with metal posts and balustrade. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a low 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, 12 Thomas Street was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1900, Annie White was listed as the owner of the house, which was occupied by James White, a smelter. This situation continued until c. 1950. In the early 1950s, House 12 Thomas Street was bought by Lancel Spencer. Mr Spencer seems to have moved into and out of the house during the 1950s. Following Mr Spencer’s death c. 1960, ownership was transferred to Eileen Spencer. Following Mrs Spencer’s own death c. 1973, the house was briefly owned by Blazo and Milica Pocek, before being bought by Sljivic and Nada Milodir. House, 12 Thomas Street has been owned by Mato Pekic since 1981. A plan dated 1954 shows a small weatherboard house without any verandahs. The house was fenced off at the side and rear. A well and several galvanised iron and weatherboard buildings, including a stable, were located at the rear
