History

This area of South Fremantle was part of a five acre grant made to Captain John Bruce of the Pensioner Guards in 1851. The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. House, 2 Rose Street was built c. 1903. In 1905, the cottage was occupied by W Beard. Robert Lennon lived in the house in 1915. Florence Harrington was the owner and occupier in 1930/31. By the early 1950s, the house was owned by Florence Parkinson before it was sold to Richard Mounsey c. 1955. Mr Mounsey owned the cottage until at least the mid-1960s, and it was a rental property throughout this time. A sewerage diagram dated c. 1915 shows a rectangular weatherboard house with a bay window on the eastern side of the façade, and a half length verandah on the west. There was a centrally located path leading to the front door and a toilet addition to the rear of the house. In 1981, House, 2 Rose Street was owned by Marine Charters Pty Ltd. It is not known when the house was demolished. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
