House, 23 Stokes Street, is a single storey brick and Colorbond house dating from c1955. While a later addition to the street, the place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the changing building stock in the Fremantle area, and the development of Stokes Street. The place is a good, late example of the Inter-War California Bungalow style of architecture.
House, 23 Stokes Street is a single storey, brick and Colorbond house built as a late example of the Inter-War California Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered brick with horizontal red brick bands. The roof is hipped and gabled and newly clad in red Colorbond (2013). There is a chimney with brick corbelling evident. The front elevation is asymmetrical with a protruding bay, and has a front door with side lights and timber framed windows with leadlight windows. The verandah has a separate dropped flat roof with red brick edging and a curved shape, and is supported by turned rendered columns. The verandah roof continues across the protruding bay to become the awning for the window. There is a brick pillar fence with wrought iron decorative panel inserts to the front boundary line. The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21 & 23 Stokes Street.
Fremantle Rate Books show that Lot 4 was vacant in 1947. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) and the 1953 aerial photograph (Landgate) also shows a vacant lot, dating the construction after this. The 1965 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows a hipped roof house on the lot. Later aerial photos (Landgate) show that the roof was originally tiled, which would have been more in keeping with its era of construction, and style as an Inter-War California Bungalow. A 1994 photograph (Fremantle LHC) shows a tiled roof, curved front verandah/porch on masonry pillars with brick trim, and walls of smooth render with face brick decorative banding. The roof was replaced with red Colorbond in 2013.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
