Statement of Significance

House, 24 Norfolk Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from c1940s. The house has little heritage value and does not meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. The site has archaeological significance.

Physical Description

24 Norfolk Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and tile house with an asymmetrical facade constructed in the Inter war Period. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with terracotta tiles. There is a projecting front room. The adjacent verandah has been later infilled with rendered masonry and large windows.

History

Norfolk Street is named after the English county, as per Essex and Suffolk Streets. House, 24 Norfolk Street was built in 1940/41 for the owner Nick Zanze. The place was occupied by members of the Zanze family until the early 1950s. In 1957, it is noted that the house was owned by Tom Bucat and occupied by 2 adults and 3 children. Later owners were; Francesco and Tindara La Macchia; and then Blazo and Milica Pocek. In the 1980s it was transferred to the Australian Fishing Industry Council. In 1981, the Australian Fishing Industry Council submitted plans to the City of Fremantle to convert the building into an office. This involved removing internal walls and leveling the back yard for parking. The front wall of the verandah was removed. At this time the back yard had a carport, two storerooms and a WC. Photographs of the building were taken at this time and indicate the building, a rendered brick and tile structure, was in good condition. In 2016 demolition of the house was approved after it was found to have little significance to Fremantle. However, the site was identified as having archaeological value. In 2023 the heritage listing for this place was reviewed as part of the Annual Update of The Heritage List and Local Heritage Survey. On 13 March 2024 Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Local Heritage Survey Management Category to Level 4 Historic/ archaeological Site.
