This property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place. The existing development on the site has little significance.
Historic building / structures demolished.
House, 134 Marine Terrace was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned and occupied by William Forsyth. By 1930/31, Hugh McKay owned the cottage, which was occupied by Robert Chapple. It was numbered 163 Marine Terrace at this time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a brick house facing Sydney Street (it is numbered 2 Sydney Street on the plan). The house had a half length front verandah and an enclosed rear verandah. Dora Hansen owned House, 134 Marine Terrace in the 1950s and 1960s and leased it to tenants. Coastal Electronics was the owner in 1981. This place was 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. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.
This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
