House, 13 Charles Street, is a typical timber and iron single storey house dating from c1895. 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 Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
13 Charles Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed c.1896 in the Victorian Georgian style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof supported by timber posts. The symmetrical front façade has a central front door flanked on one side by French doors. The house is situated at street level. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
Charles Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and much of the housing stock still dates from this time. House, 13 Charles Street was built c. 1896. In that year, Norrah Grey was listed as the owner in the rate book; Henry Grey was the occupant. Jim Grey was listed as the owner in 1900. Hannah Grey was the owner in 1904. By 1912, House, 13 Charles Street was owned and occupied by Frederick Ellis. By 1922/23, the house had been sold to John MacKay. Circa 1930, the house was bought by Hubert Monger. The Mongers owned and lived in the house until c. 1970. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a building with a full length front verandah. At the back of the house, there was a small galvanised iron structure attached to the rear, and four separate outbuildings constructed of tin, weatherboard and galvanised iron. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment")
