House, 296 South Terrace, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from c 1897. 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.
296 South Terrace is a single storey, masonry and iron house with an asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade has a central front door with one small window visible. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on cement posts with rendered masonry balustrade. There is a brick corbelled chimney evident. There is a low brick wall to the front boundary line together with some trees making further description difficult.
House, 296 South Terrace was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned and occupied by William Joslin, a fireman. William Joslin still owned the property in 1930/31, though it was occupied by George Groves. At this time, the street address was 86 Mandurah Road. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows House, 196 South Terrace as a broad brick house with a full length front verandah. The rear verandah was enclosed to the south with weatherboard, and there were several galvanised iron outbuildings behind the house. At the rear of the yard, was another galvanised iron outbuilding. By the early 1950s, ownership had passed to Sarah Joslin. She owned the house for at least two decades, during which time it was a rental property. In 1981, House, 296 South Terrace was owned by the Bucchianico family. 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.
