House, 20 Hulbert Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1935. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area
Single storey weatherboard, fibre cement sheet and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1935. The walls are painted weatherboards to the bottom and fibre cement sheeting to the top. The roof is hipped and gabled with short eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The half verandah has been later infilled with fibre cement sheeting. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window and an awning over. There is a low level timber sleeper fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 20 Hulbert Street was built in 1935/35 for owner Eliza Coad. At this time, it was numbered 46 Hulbert Street. The house was built by Snowden Wilson of Perth. It was a weatherboard residence costing ₤330. Ms Coad remained in the house until c. 1960. The house number was changed to 20 Hulbert Street c. 1950. In 1962, the City of Fremantle received an application to enclose the entry porch. The work was relatively minor, costing only ₤28. Between 1968 and 1972, House, 20 Hulbert Street was owned by Sydney Blaize and then Walter John Weller. The house has had a number of owners since the mid-1970s.

Condition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).
