History

House, 280 South Terrace was built between 1900 and 1915. In 1915, the cottage was owned by Jessie Day and occupied by Lucy Boswell. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows House, 280 South Terrace as a large brick house with a full length front verandah and a galvanised iron addition at the rear. A centrally located path led to the front door and another path led down the southern side of the house, and across the back yard to the back fence, where weatherboard outbuildings were located. Raymond Bur and then Angelina Paolini were the owners and occupiers in the 1960s. Angelina was still the owner into the 1960s, but by 1918, House, 280 South Terrace was owned by the Mucciacciaro family. This place was 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.
