Duplex, 6 & 8 Arundel Street, is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey duplex pair dating from 1898. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Duplex, 6 & 8 Arundel Street, is a typical duplex pair dating from 1898. It has a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone and brick quoins. The roof is hipped with a dividing parapet wall and clad with corrugated iron. The front verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof supported by square timber posts. There is a low level rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line of no. 6 and a timber picket fence to no. 8.
There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. Duplex 6-8 Arundel Street was originally numbered 44-46 Arundel Street; the numbering changing in 1935/36 [where 6 is 46 and 8 is 44 Arundel Street]. Duplex 6-8 Arundel Street was built prior to 1898 as it is present on the sewerage plan of that date. In that plan the brick duplex has verandahs at the front and rear with small timber additions at the rear of the building. 6 Arundel Street had an additional galvanised iron outbuilding and both had closets in the back yard. The front property boundary was fenced. Occupants as listed by the Post Office directories at No. 8 included Edgar Bluett 1915, John Paddon 1920, John Lutey 1925 - 1930, James Ionello 1934-5.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
