10 Charles Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house with a symmetrical facade built in 1900 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with side and fanlights flanked on either side by double hung sash windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on chamfered timber posts. There is a corbelled chimney evident. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
Charles Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and much of the housing stock still dates from this time. House, 10 Charles Street was built in 1900 for Averland and Harriett Caporn. Mr Capron was a carter. Averland and Harriett lived in the house until c. 1950 and for the next decade, Harriett was listed as the sole owner and occupant. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a brick house of roughly square plan form with a full length front verandah and two galvanised iron additions to the rear. In the early 1960s, ownership of the house passed to Fanny Gore. Ms Gore lived there until her death in 1983 and it has changed hands several times since then. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment") This place received a Fremantle Award in 1996 for Winner in the Heritage Category - restoration and additions.
