9 Barnett Street has historical interest as part of the original site of Dr Barnett’s Residence, 13 Barnett Street. The place has little culture heritage significance and does not meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List..
Two storey face brick Late 20th Century house with hipped corrugated steel roof and carport/ deck
Barnett St is named after Henry Calvert Barnett whose first government appointment was in 1868. Barnett was Superintendent of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum 1872 and Colonial Surgeon until 1895. He was also a Member of the first Medical Board, 1894. The land on which house 9 Barnett Street is located was vacant in the 1949/50 rate period. Subdivision of land into what became houses 9 to 13 Barnett St occurred in 1950 by C W Melrose. Aerial photos show that a hipped roof house had been constructed on the site by 1953 but this had been demolished by 1981.The existing two storey brick house was constructed in the 1990s The place was added to the Fremantle Municipal Inventory in 2000 and the Heritage List in 2008. In a review in 2010 it was recommended that the place be removed from the Heritage List because it was below the threshold for inclusion on the list. In 2023 the heritage listing for this place was reviewed as part of the Annual Update of The Heritage List and Local Heritage Survey. On 13 March 2024 Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Local Heritage Survey Management Category to Level 4 Historic Record Only.
