Aesthetic significance as one of a group of brick residences in the Federation Queen Anne style probably built in the first decade of the twentieth century. . Historical significance representing the increased wealth following the Gold Boom.
Single storey smooth rendered walls and zincalume hipped roof and two chimneys with corbelling, house. The façade features two projecting bays which have French doors and are crowned by roof gables. There is a bull nosed verandah supported by turned timber posts and balustrade and cast iron brackets which are probably not original. Nos 2, 4, & 6 Hale Street form a significant group of houses which were originally built to a similar style. These places reflect individual changes and contribute to the streetscape of Hale Street.
Hale Street was originally Healy Road. The name changed to Hale in 1956 /57 possibly to avoid confusion with Healy Road in Hamilton Hill. It is also possible the street was named in honour of two Fremantle brothers and leading athletes, Edgar and Vernon Hale. Edgar was killed in WWI, while Vernon died as a result of wounds received during WWI, on his return to Fremantle.
