The place is a modest example of a commercial building dating from the first decades of the twentieth century that forms part of a group of similar places and makes a contribution to the Fremantle Town Centre streetscape. Awning and shop fronts are not significant.
Single storey rendered masonry building with a simple parapet fronting a corrugated iron hipped roof building, has a veranda awning (probably not original). No. 8 is similar; a driveway entrance separates both buildings, which have a zero setback from the pavement. The windows are probably not original.
Elder Place was originally named Bay St, derived from the street encircling Shoal Bay on the north of Willis/Ferry Point. The Council renamed a portion of the street Elder Place in 1926, after the company Elder, Smith & Co who had a warehouse in the street. Lot 230 Elder Place (formerly Bay St) originally comprised three cottages built 1889 for John Lewis, as 6-12 Bay St. No. 10 was demolished 1907 and replaced by offices and a warehouse for Horrocks & Wadham. Nos. 6 and 8 became shops c1913. The original cottage verandahs were removed and new facades were added around this time. From 1920s No. 6 was occupied by offices for a bus service and later taxi fleet, run by Marion Bell until 1946. Subsequently occupied by Fremantle Taxi Association until c1960. Shop front renovations occurred in 1984, as well as internal changes. As at 2002, no. 6 is Underground Bookshop/ in-house cinema.
