House, 14 Sydney Street, is a typical weatherboard and tile single storey house dating from c1917. 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 narrow timber look aluminium clad and tiled cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed in c1917. The roof is gabled with no eaves and clad with tiles. There is a decorative timber finial to the gable end. The verandah is under a separate tiled roof and has been partially enclosed with timber look aluminium cladding and glass louvres. There is a metal awning in front of the verandah. Windows are either aluminium sliding windows or timber framed louvred windows. There is a low level brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. An external Heritage Assessment was prepared in June 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA265/09) for proposed garage demolition. In October 2009 a further heritage assessment was prepared by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0510/09) for proposed removal of the shed, three rear rooms of the house, the front verandah and wall, and construction of new additions at the rear, a replacement roof, side courtyard, rear deck and pool, and a new front verandah and wall.
House, 14 Sydney Street was built between 1915 and 1920. In 1919/20, the house was owned and occupied by Peter Reynolds. From c. 1925 to c. 1950, House, 14 Sydney Street was owned by Frederick Allsop. It was leased to tenants throughout this time. Between c. 1950 and the 1990s, the house was owned by Adelaide Collins, who lived there for most of this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows a long, narrow weatherboard residence. The full length front verandah was partly enclosed with asbestos. At the rear of the house were a galvanised iron room and verandah. In the back yard were a galvanised iron garage and weatherboard shed. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also 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. Changes to the original house include replacement of weatherboard with timber look aluminium cladding, and replacement of timber framed windows with louvres or aluminium sliding windows. House, 14 Sydney Street has had a couple of owners since c. 2000.
