Historic building / structures demolished.
Jenkin Street was originally named By-the-Sea Road. It was renamed in 1909/10 for Reverend J G Jenkin of the South Fremantle Methodist Church. House, 52 Jenkin Street was built for Nancy Jenkinson in 1917/18. The land had been vacant until this time. Ms Jenkinson retained ownership until at least 1931. In 1940/41, House 52 Jenkin Street was owned and occupied by Richard Jenkinson. Richard retained ownership until his death c. 1966, although Doris Holtz was listed as the occupant from the early 1950s. Doris Holtz was subsequently the registered owner of the property (1975) and Albert Holtz was listed as the occupant from 1964 to 1972. In 1981, House, 52 Jenkin Street was bought by the Merendino Syndicate. The house was demolished c. 1991. A photographic record of the property is held in the Fremantle Local History Collection. 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) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.
This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
