This place has aesthetic and historic significance as a remnant of pre gold boom residential development in Fremantle. Part of a group of remnant residential buildings in Collie, Nairn and Essex Street.
Duplex, 13 Nairn Street is a single storey residence (former semi-detached pair) with roughcast rendered walls and zincalume low-pitched hipped roof, with three corbelled chimneys. The veranda has a low decorative and rendered balustrade with piers and columns supporting the low-pitched veranda roof.
Nairn Street was named for Major William Nairn of 46th Regiment, original grantee of land in Grass Valley, east of Northam. The two four-roomed cottages were constructed in 1886 for William Back, a mariner. By 1899 the property had been purchased by John Bateman and remained in the family until c1920, although ownership was shared with Frederick Hollis from 1910. No. 13 became a lodging house in 1976, and No. 11 in 1986. Both since renumbered as No. 13. Currently (2002), Garton Smith & Barrett-Corporate & Commercial lawyers.
Good.
