House, 23 Hulbert Street, is a rendered brick and iron single storey house dating from c1900. 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 rendered brick and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade constructed in c1900. The walls are painted and rendered brick. The roof gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with turned timber posts. A rendered brick chimney is intact. There is a timber picket 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, 23 Hulbert Street was constructed c. 1900. In 1900, it was owned and occupied by Annie and Rudolph Pilman. Rudolph was listed as a produce merchant. In 1905/06, the house was owned and occupied by William Ede, an assayer. Charles McGann owned House, 23 Hulbert Street between c. 1910 and 1925/26. At this time, it was sold to Horrie Merrivale. Rose Merrivale was listed as the owner in 1935/36; Rose Dentry in 1949/50 and Rose Doggett from the early 1950s to 1980. (It is not known if this was the same person who married several times or if there were successive owners with the name Rose). A plan dated 1954 shows House 23 Hulbert Street as a large brick house with a full length front verandah set close to the street. There were several outbuildings in the back yard. The house has had a couple of owners since 1980.
Medium degree of integrity (original intent partially 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 good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
