House, 23 Scott Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1903. 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. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1903. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with steel posts. The front facade is asymmetrical with a front door and a timber framed bay window. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 23 Scott Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Gustav Hassy was listed as the owner and occupant. Although Hassy retained ownership, Sydney Ward was listed as the occupant of the cottage in 1909/10. William Coulter was the registered owner and occupant in 1914/15. From c. 1920, Dolores Oaklands owned House, 23 Scott Street. It appears to have been a rental property until the mid-1950s, when the name of the registered owner was changed to Dolores Stringer. Dolores Stringer then moved into the house and was still the registered owner in 2004/05. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick house with a bay window and full length front verandah. Two weatherboard and one galvanised iron room were attached to the rear of the house. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
