House, 3 Barnett Street, is a single storey brick and tile house dating from the 1890s. 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 Victorian Georgian style of architecture, modified in the post war period..

The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is pitched and clad with tiles. The front elevation has two sets of timber framed casement windows with a central door. The verandah wraps around the building, has a separate flat roof and is supported by round decorative cement posts with a metal balustrade on the front boundary line. The house is slightly elevated from street level.
Barnett St is named after Henry Calvert Barnett whose first government appointment was in 1868. Barnett was Superintendent of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum 1872 and Colonial Surgeon until 1895. He was also a Member of the first Medical Board, 1894. House, 3 Barnett Street was constructed in 1891 for Lionel Holdsworth as a 5-room cottage. 1913 Sewerage plan shows a brick or stone cottage with a small rear extension of similar materials. The house had a regular turnover of occupants. An early tenant was J C Fraser, a coppersmith (1892), and Harry William, Draper (1899). Subsequent owners include E. E.
