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 masonry and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1934. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window and corrugated iron awning over. There is a gable roofed open carport attached to the side. There is a limestone and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Jenkin Street was originally named By-the-Sea Road. It was renamed in 1909/10 for Reverend J G Jenkin of the South Fremantle Methodist Church. House, 66 Jenkin Street was built in 1934/35 for owner James Stewart. Mr Steward retained ownership until the mid-1960s, when it was sold to Kevin and Georgina Went. Ronald Dewar was the occupant from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. The house was bought by the Education Department (State Government) in 1978. The Department retained ownership until c. 1999, when it was sold into private ownership again. The place also has a limestone feature.
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).
