Municipal Inventory | Adopted | Historical Record Only |
Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical local shop and attached residence dating from the first decades of the twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of commercial activity in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.
Shop, 226 South Street is a single storey limestone and rendered shop with a Zincalume hipped roof. The corners have brick quoining. There is zero setback from the pavement, and a boxed verandah awning which is probably not original. The shopfront is not accessible from the street, and its street appearance is heavily modified. To the left side is an addition for a drive through bottle shop.
Lot 2 of 38 is recorded as vacant in 1910. Fremantle Rate Books show that rates were collected from a shop and room on the lot by 1919 which gives a reasonably accurate date of construction. When Stokes Street was named (1916), it is clear that there are three buildings between Yalgoo Ave and Stokes Street, and the middle one is a store operated by Norman Loschiavo, from at least the year before. Prior to this, an Anofro Loschiavo is listed as living at Pier (Yalgoo Ave) & South Streets from 1905, which could date the house at least, if not a store, to as early as this. The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows three separate buildings between Yalgoo and Stokes Street. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows them as Nos. 202, 204 and 206; No 226 South Street being originally No. 204. Later aerial photos (Landgate) show that No. 224 was demolished between 1965 and 1974, and became a car park. Between 1983 and 1985 the house on the east side (No. 228) was demolished and a new tiled roof house was built. In 2003 the shop at No. 226 was extended to the west side to create a drive through service for the store (liquor store).
