House, 197 South Terrace, is a typical timber and iron single storey house dating from c 1895. 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.
197 South Terrace is a single storey timber and iron house constructed by 1895 in the Victorian Georgian style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof supported by timber posts. There are two rendered masonry chimneys evident. There is a limestone wall to the front boundary line and a fibre cement sheeting fence to the side boundary line together with trees making further description difficult.
House, 197 South Terrace had been built by 1895. The rate book for that year recorded that the four roomed cottage was owned and occupied by Walter Lawrence. In 1900, it was owned by Mrs W Lawrence and occupied by A L Fawcett. A diagram dated 1907 shows House, 197 South Terrace as a substantial weatherboard house with a roughly square shaped plan form and full length front verandah wrapping around most of the Rose Street elevation. By 1909, the property was owned by Sydney Hicks, who also purchased House, 195 South Terrace. The occupier was Jessie McCormack. By 1920/21, the house was owned and occupied by Edward Titterton. Mr Titterton retained ownership until at least the early 1950s. In 1993, Ralph Hoare Architect submitted plans on behalf of the owners to build a new house on the western portion of the site, facing onto Rose Street. The plans included the retention of the 1895 house, which sits in the middle of Lots 14 and 15. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
