House, 17 Lilly Street, is a typical single storey house dating from c 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.
17 Lilly Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house built c 1898 with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with rendered quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof. There is a low level timber picket fence with rendered masonry pillars to the front boundary line. Proliferate foliage makes further description difficult.
Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 17 Lilly Street was built prior to 1900. Between c. 1900 and c. 1940, Henry Wood was listed in the rate books as the owner and occupier of the cottage on the lot. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a large brick house with a full length front verandah built close to the southern boundary of the lot. A relatively large area at the back of the house was marked ‘platform’. There was also an attached weatherboard bathroom at the back of the house and a separate toilet located on the back fence. In 1942/43, Henry Rumbold was the owner and occupier. Between c. 1950 and c. 1970, the house was owned and occupied by Margaret Manns. By the mid-1970s, House, 17 Lilly Street was owned by Henrique Pereira. In 1978, it was sold to Anthony Chamzio. Mr Chamzio (with Mary Mansell) was still the owner in 2004. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
