House, 163 South Terrace, is a single storey brick and tile house dating from c1920. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
House, 163 South Terrace is a single storey brick and tile house designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door flanked on either side by windows, which are covered with modern roller shutters. The verandah has a dropped tiled roof supported by pairs of steel poles. There is a curved, rendered low wall to the front boundary line. Vegetation in the front yard prevents further description of the front elevation.
The rate books show a vacant lot in 1909-10 and then a cottage in 1920-1, then known as no. 7 Mandurah Road. A colour photo dated January 1993 shows a dwelling with a tiled roof hipped and coming to a point, red tiles with an occasional darker one. There is a flat concrete roofed verandah that also appears to be tiled, beneath the main roof line and supported by 4 pairs of steel pipes. The central front door has 3 diagonal glass slots and a narrow window to the right and above the door. On either side of the door are large windows, 2 casements either side of a central fixed pane. The front wall is rendered masonry. There is a low wall on the front boundary of the block with a central path leading to the door, and access to the rear of the house on the right hand side.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair to good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
