House, 76 Attfield Street, is a limestone and iron single storey house dating from c1908. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.
76 Attfield Street is a single storey, limestone (possibly a replacement cladding) and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade constructed in the Federation period. The walls are limestone. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah has a corrugated iron bullnose roof and is supported on timber posts. The symmetrical facade has a central front door flanked either side by casement windows. There is a two storey additional dwelling to the rear and a limestone wall to the front boundary.
House, 76 Attfield Street was formerly numbered 122 Attfield Street. Numbers changed in1935/36. 76 Attfield Street is firstly recorded in the Post Office Directories in 1908 and the occupant was Thomas Grant. The 1908 sewerage plan of this site shows this stone house has a simple square plan with verandahs across the front and rear. In the back yard are a timber closet and a small timber shed. 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") A photograph of the house at this time shows that the front façade had been rendered and a new verandah roof installed. The verandah posts and balustrades have been replaced and the front windows are replacements. The low brick wall on the front boundary is also a later construction. Prior to 1994 the house had been renovated and extended. The render had been removed from the external facades and a new roof installed. The verandah had been replaced with style closer to the original design with timber veranda posts. A high limestone wall was constructed on the front boundary. At the same time as this renovation new units were constructed on the rear of the lot.
Medium to high degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining but with some alterations. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
