Duplex, 376-378 South Terrace, is a typical single storey brick and tile duplex dating from the 1940s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Inter-War Californian Bungalow style of architecture.
Duplex 376-378 South Terrace is a single storey masonry and tile duplex constructed in the Federation style of Architecture. The walls are painted white for no. 376 and rendered brown for 378. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. The symmetrical front façade has four timber framed sash windows. No 378 has a metal awning. A chimney is evident towards the front of each duplex. No 376 has an asbestos garage at the rear. There is a low painted masonry wall to the front boundary line.
South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Duoro Road and travel further inland. Duplex, 376-378 South Terrace was built between 1940 and 1945. The land had been vacant until this time. In 1944/5, William Henry Roach was listed as the owner. William Furness was the occupant of 376 (then 146 Mandurah Road) and Joseph Nathan was the occupant of 378 (then 148 Mandurah Road). A diagram dated 1954 shows the duplex as a mirror pair of brick residences. Both had drives down the sides, and there was an asbestos garage to the rear of No. 376. Following William Roach’s death c. 1955, his estate continued to own the duplex until the early 1960s, when it was bought by Jure Tabain. Mr Tabain continued to own the property until c. 2003 and both duplexes
