Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey cottage dating from the first decades of the twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area.
House, 28 Samson Street is a single storey brick and zincalume house built in the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are tuck pointed brick with a rendered band. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with zincalume, and has exposed rafters. There is a corbelled chimney evident. The verandah is supported by timber posts. Under the gable there are timber framed windows with a zincalume awning over. There is a recent addition to the rear. A face brick and picket fence is at the front boundary line.
Lot WM 1338 is recorded as a vacant lot, owned by Henry Walton Hicks in 1904/5. A residence is recorded in 1930. Physical inspection indicates that the house was built prior to this date. There is a 1978 photo on file at the Local History Collection.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
