House, 3 Charles Street, is a typical timber and iron single storey house dating from c1898. 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
3 Charles Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed between 1896 and 1900 in the Victorian Georgian style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof supported by timber posts with decorative timber brackets. The symmetrical front façade has a central front door with fanlight flanked on either side by timber framed double hung windows. The house is situated at street level. There is a high timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
Charles Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and much of the housing stock still dates from this time. House, 3 Charles Street was built between 1896 and 1900. In 1900, the house was owned by William Chamberlain and occupied by Frederick Woodward. Mr Chamberlain continued to own the property until c. 1922 and it was occupied by tenants during this time. By 1932, the House, 3 Charles Street was owned and occupied by William Franklyn. The Franklyns continued to own it until the early 1960s. The property has had several owners since that time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a weatherboard building with a full length front verandah. To the rear, there was a weatherboard addition along the western boundary. There were separate weatherboard (near the house) and galvanised iron (near rear of yard) outbuildings in the backyard, along with a trellis. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle")
