Significance difficult to determine, however documentary evidence suggests that the house dates from 1900 and is an unusual design for the South Fremantle area. It is suggested that there is a verandah around the entire house. Further information would be required to make an assessment of this place.
House, 10 Hickory Street is a single storey weatherboard and iron roofed cottage. The walls are weatherboard clad and stud framed. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron or replacement zincalume. The wrap around verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof and timber posts. The facade is symmetrical with a central door and windows on either side. The verandah has been filled in on the north and south sides. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in December 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0544/09) for a proposed carport and front fence.
Hickory Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century during the gold boom and much of the housing stock still dates from that time. The street was formerly known as James Street, the change occurring in 1901/02. In 1896, Lot 32 (later 10 Hickory Street) was part of a five acre block owned by John Thomas. In 1897, a single room weatherboard cottage was built for and occupied by William Worsfold, a clerk. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned by B & J Stocks; Julian Smith, a labourer, was the occupant the following year. In 1903/04, the property was owned by James Black and occupied by Frederick Canning, a locomotive employee. The house remained a rental property for many years. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 10 Hickory Street as a small weatherboard house with a full length front verandah wrapping around both sides, and a full length rear verandah. There is no front path or steps noted on the diagram, making the house quite different from the majority in South Fremantle. Two galvanised iron sheds were located at the rear of the backyard. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in December 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0544/09) for a proposed carport and front fence.
