House, 57 Hope Street is a single storey, limestone and iron house designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. A high masonry and timber picket fence at the front boundary prevents further description of the front elevation.
Hope Street was named after Dr James W. Hope who was appointed as the surgeon for Fremantle Prison in 1886. In November 1897 he was the Acting Superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum. The house was originally number 89. In 1900 Lot 17 of 84 was owned by the Church of England. A cottage on the lot was occupied by A. Johnson, a banker. Subsequent owners were Agnes White (1908) and Thomas Sapphias Powel (1931-1938). Numbering changed in 1938-39, at which time the owners were Olive & Harry Harmer. The house is Lot 43 of 84.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
