House, 15 Scott Street is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1930. 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 South Fremantle area.
Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage constructed in 1930. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards and asbestos. The roof is gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. There is a brick pier and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a garden area behind. The garden and fence obscure views to the house.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 15 Scott Street was built c. 1930. In 1929/30, Albert Tye was listed as the owner and occupier of the residence. Mr Tye retained ownership until his death in the early 1960s, although Leonard Tye was listed as the occupant from the mid 1950s, and Doris Tye from c. 1960. In 1939/40, the rate book noted that the house was a ‘workers’ home’. It may be been purchased by Tye under the Government Workers’ Home Scheme. A diagram dated 1954 shows a relatively long and narrow weatherboard house with a verandah to one side. An asbestos garage was located just off the street. James Kettewell bought the house from Tye’s estate and retained ownership until 1982, when the house was registered in the name of the State Housing Commission. In 2004/05, the Department of Housing and Works was listed as the owner of the property. A new front fence was built between 1978 and 1993. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also 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.
Condition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).
