Statement of Significance

Aesthetically significant as a fine example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

Single storey stone and tuck pointed brick quoined walls and a zincalume hipped roofed house. There is a bull nosed verandah which is supported by turned timber posts and a painted brick chimney.

History

Hale Street was originally Healy Road. The name changed to Hale in 1956 /57 possibly to avoid confusion with Healy Road in Hamilton Hill. It is also possible the street was named in honour of two Fremantle brothers and leading athletes, Edgar and Vernon Hale. Edgar was killed in WWI, while Vernon died as a result of wounds received during WWI, on his return to Fremantle.
