House, 374 South Terrace, is a single storey timber and tile house dating from 1895. 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 modified example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
House, 374 South Terrace is a single storey timber and tile house constructed in the Victorian Georgian style of Architecture. The house is timber framed and clad with weatherboard. The front verandah is enclosed with limestone foundation and rendered brick walls. The roof is hipped and clad with tiles. There is a brick chimney evident. The verandah enclosure has a central front door flanked either side by windows, which hides the original facade.
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. By 1895, a cottage of two rooms had been built on the lot. Joseph Wikins was listed as the owner and occupant in 1895, and was still there in 1919/20. By 1905/06, a second cottage had been built to the rear of the original house. This appears to have remained there until c. 1915, for after that time, only one house is listed on the property. It is not known if both cottages were demolished and a new one built, or if the original cottage was retained. Between c. 1925 and c. 1935, House, 374 South Terrace (then 204 South Terrace) was owned by Mabel Cousins and was let to tenant Sydney Hall. Peter Amaranti bought the property c. 1935 and the Amaranti family continued
