House, 28 Scott Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and zincalume house originally designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with zincalume. There are extant timber framed double hung sash windows under the L-shaped verandah, which has a separate bull nose roof. A replacement roof and possible rear additions has allowed for a carport under the main roofline. There is a rendered wall to the front boundary line which prevents further description of the front elevation.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. A cottage was built on this site in 1901 for George Arthur McKim, confectioner. From the following year, rate books record McKim’s property as ‘cottage and small factory’. In 1903 a shed was built on the adjacent lot, which begins to be rated as a factory in 1904 and from 1908-09 the two lots are each noted ‘part factory’, one lot also having a residence and the other stables. McKim continued to own and occupy the place, living at the residence as well as working at the place. It is presumed that the factory produced confectionary, as McKim continues to be listed with this occupation. By 1918-19 the place was owned by Western Stock, Station & Trading Co and no factory is listed, but McKim continued to occupy the place. However, by 1920 the place was owned and occupied by Thomas Samuel Carruthers. Stables continued to be noted into the 1950s. A new residence is believed to have been built on the site of the stables in 1982.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Low degree of authenticity with little or no original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
