The place is a good example of a stone residence in the Victorian Georgian style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
House, 12 Barnett Street is a single storey rendered house with a zincalume hipped roof with brick chimney.
Barnett Street is named after Henry Calvert Barnett whose first government appointment was in 1868. Barnett was Superintendent of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum 1872 and Colonial Surgeon until 1895. He was also a Member of the first Medical Board, 1894. The site was first developed c1885-1886 when Henry W Hollands, a barman, erected a cottage. In 1975 the City of Fremantle bought 12 Barnett St as part of their small houses project.
