Statement of Significance

Together with its pair at 46 Harvest Road, Duplex, 48 Harvest Road is a typical stone and iron single storey cottage duplex dating from 1900. 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 North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey stone and iron duplex pair with overall symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Number 46 has limestone walls with face brick quoins and reveals. Number 48 has painted limestone walls with rendered brick quoins and reveals. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with a dividing parapet wall. No. 46 is a replacement Zincalume roof. As at 2014 No. 48 appears to have the original short sheet corrugated iron roof. There are two brick chimneys with rendered corbel details. The verandahs are under a separate corrugated iron roof (bullnose to 46) and are supported by chamfered timber posts. Front elevation is symmetrical with a timber sash window and a front door to each side. There is a timber and decorative iron balustrade to each verandah. A rendered brick stair leads up to each verandah. These stairs are parallel to the house and form part of the front boundary wall. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. Post Office Directories suggest that Duplex, 46-48 Harvest Road, was constructed c.1900, with William J Finlay occupying 48 from 1900, John Johnson at 48 from 1901, and Mrs Mary Taylor possibly also at one of the residences from 1901. Finlay had lived on Harvest Road from c.1899, and it is possible that he lived at 32 while building the duplex at 46-48, where he seems to have taken up residence in 1900. However, the place is not shown on a 1904 Water Supply plan, and it is therefore difficult to identify where Finlay and Johnson were living prior to this. (Mrs Taylor appears to have been renting a room at 27 Harvest Road from 1902-04) Johnson was replaced in 1903 by Stephen Meis, who stayed for three years. William Finlay remained at 48 until 1909, while the occupants of 46 changed almost annually. From 1910 there was a high turn-over of occupants in both houses, which continued well into the 1920s at 48. Some residents appear to have moved between the numerous rental houses along Harvest Road in this period. At 46, Alfred Lowcock arrived in 1920 and stayed until at least 1935, and in the 1940s, the place was occupied by George and later John Sorrell. Pictures taken in 1978 show 46 in poor condition, and 48 well-kept with fibro to dado height around the verandah. Photographs from 1996 show both 46 and 48 in good condition. Both have had replacement filigree railings added to their front verandahs. The roof to No. 46 has been replaced and the former skillion verandah roof has been replaced with a bullnose profile. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also 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.

Statement of Significance

Weeties Factory, 5 Harvest Road, is a brick and iron former factory building dating from the 1930s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is an unusual building style for the surrounding residential area of North Fremantle, with much of the industrial buildings being located closer to the Port. Historic significance for its associations with the industrial development and character of North Fremantle. Although converted for residential accommodation, it is one of the few factory buildings extant. The place demonstrates elements of the Federation Warehouse style of architecture.

Physical Description

A now double storey red brick factory complex, designed in the Inter War Period, this simple warehouse building contains decorative elements of the Federation Warehouse style of architecture. The Weeties Factory consists of a number of buildings grouped together forming a cohesive whole. The place has now been divided internally into residential units. The facades are divided into bays by brick pilasters, with simple brick detailing serving as recessed capitals. The steel framed mullioned windows set into the bays create interesting rhythmic detailing to the building. The single storey warehouse on Harvest Road has truncated gables, topped by a rectilinear pediment with simple brick detailing, at both ends. The building was extended at a later date along the Stirling Hwy boundary, with a simple parapet wall and a truncated corner. This austere facade is punctuated by the simple steel framed mullioned windows, and is dominated by the length of the roof line. The buildings have raised concrete floors to facilitate loading during its time as a factory. The roofs are supported by iron king trusses. Timber framed mezzanine floors have been introduced creating 12 two storey residential units and one 3 storey unit. The top of the three storey unit still houses some remnants of the machinery used - winches etc. The building is set hard against the site boundaries. Sections of the corrugated iron roof sheeting have been removed to expose the trusses and to create open air courtyards for the units.

Weeties Factory (fmr) was constructed in 1932 for Purina Grain Food Company, who manufactured breakfast cereal at the place until the mid 1950s. The Weeties factory made wheat flakes for breakfast food - a local competitor with Kelloggs which became very popular during the Second World War when it was impossible to acquire Kelloggs cornflakes. Production continued under the management of Nabisco Pty Ltd until the company was bought by Best Foods in 1988, at which time the Harvest Road factory was closed. From 1932 to 1968 the property was owned by Harold Frank and Harry Spry, later H&H Spry Pty Ltd. The original single-storey 1932 building was on the corner of Harvest Road and Burns Street. Some time before 1939 the place was extended to the rear (south) and a second storey added over the middle section. A third section was later added, abutting the rear, with provision for further extension that did not take place. Residents in the area from the time the place operated as a cereal factory remember the distinctive smell of breakfast cereal cooking at the factory. In 1988 the place was sold to John Gordon Blinco and Crystyna Blinco, who used it as a showroom, storage and restoration area for antiques. From 1996 the place was used briefly to store and distribute surf wear, before being redeveloped into a residential complex containing nineteen apartments. Sixteen were created within the existing building space, retaining original features such as exposed beams and piping, pressed metal floorings, and the sprinkler system and lifting gear. A further three apartments were constructed in the former car park to the rear of the factory. Prominent signs saying ‘Weeties’ and ‘Vitabrits’ were also restored. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment.

Statement of Significance

House, 56 Harvest Road, is a limestone, brick and iron two storey house dating from the 1910s. It is an example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture, and although it has some altered or modified elements, they do not necessarily detract from its overall significance. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the heritage of the surrounding area. It is representative of the more affluent building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle, set on a large lot in comparison to surrounding houses. It is historically significant as a representation of a fine residence in North Fremantle area; built by the prominent Pearse family, local industrialists.

Physical Description

House, 56 Harvest Road, is a large two storey limestone, brick and iron house with asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the federation Queen Anne style of architecture. Walls are limestone with tuckpointed brick quoins and reveals. Roof is complex hipped and gabled corrugated iron. The house has undergone extensive alterations and additions, many which occurred in the changes made in 1968. It is difficult to ascertain what the original house looked like. Plans show the original house to be similar in plan to Turton house; a basically square plan with truncated corners creating the opportunity for an interesting roof line and gabled hips, typical of the style. The southern wing facing the street, is however, the 1968 addition which has been skillfully incorporated in the original style of the house. A sweeping bullnosed verandah is supported in turned timber posts, and elegantly detailed with arched timber friezes and balustrading. Timber French doors opened on to the verandah. Timber casement windows with transom windows have projecting moulded sills. The corbelled chimneys are intact. The house is on a large lot with well kept gardens, a sweeping drive and a high level brick and iron fence and gate to the front elevation. The block extends north through to Ainslie Road. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. House, 56 Harvest Road was constructed c.1911 for the prominent North Fremantle Pearse family, and occupied until 1918 by George Pearse of the firm Pearse Brothers. The place was owned from 1910 by Alfred George Pearse, factory manager, and in 1921 was transferred to Leslie Kenton Pearse. At the time, Leslie was a book manufacturer in Claremont, and had also worked as a factory assistant and salesman. However, he was the youngest son of James Pearse, one of the three Pearse brothers to found Pearse Brothers Tannery and Boot Factory in the 1871, and following the retirement of his two uncles and the death of his father James, Leslie became manager of the boot factory. Leslie Pearse, born in 1892, was married to Jessie Hammersley. He was educated at Scotch College, served 4 years in France during World War One, was a North Fremantle Councillor for 25 years from c.1928, was prominent Fremantle business circles and became involved in Rotary. Leslie and Jessie do not appear to have taken up residence at 56 Harvest Road until 1922-23, as Herbert W.G. Scannell is listed at the address from 1919 to 1921, and the place is vacant in 1922. Following Leslie’s death in 1955, title for the property was transferred to his widow, Jessie Hammersley Pearse. In 1958, the place passed out of Pearse family ownership, being transferred in relatively quick succession to Alfred Basil Cronen (shearing contractor) and Kathleen Isadore Cronin (hairdresser) in 1958, then Margaret McCarthy (widow) in 1962 and finally Gottfried Lenz (painting contractor) and his wife Christina Maria, of Cottesloe, in 1965. Major additions were made to the place in the late 1960s. While the initial house was a single-storey brick residence on limestone foundations, with a verandah wrapping the front of the house and corner vistas created to the southeast and southwest, the slope of the block allowed for a two-storey addition in front of the house, with the second storey floor level meeting that of the original c.1911 residence and enclosing most of the original verandahs. Plans for the additions were drawn by John Taylor, Architect, of Mt Lawley. These additions allowed the place to be converted into nine flats. The place fell into disrepair by the 1980s, and was vacated. In 1989 it was purchased by Peter and Leonie Randel, who used money from a gold strike Peter made at Leonora in the early 1990s to undertake major renovations at the place. It was adapted to a single, large residence, including opening and amending enclosed verandahs at the upper level to creating a wrap-around verandah, and constructing a new kitchen, laundry and bedroom extension. An article in the West Australian in May 1993 notes that the Randels were planning to build further additions to the rear of the house. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.

Moderate degree of integrity (original intent not clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability, restored, some loss of fabric and extensive alterations). Moderate degree of authenticity with basic original fabric remaining. Some loss of fabric. (These statements based on street survey and internal inspection 2016).

House, 58 Harvest Road, is a double storey brick and iron cottage with asymmetrical facade designed as a simple example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture. Walls are brick on limestone foundations. A hipped roof is interrupted by a gable over the front room. The gable is roughcast rendered with simple timber detailing and a turned finial. Masonry steps with a low balustrade wall lead to the front verandah. A separate verandah roof is supported by turned timber posts. A simple timber frieze has been added to provide a decorative element to the front facade. Paired turned posts subtlety reinforce the entrance to the building. Front elevation is asymmetrical. The front room has a triple timber sash window with transom windows which together are slightly arched. The timber front door has a transom window. A two storey extension has been added to the house prior to 1994. There is a low limestone wall to the Harvest Road elevation and a timber picket fence to Corkhill Street. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. House, 58 Harvest Road was constructed c.1913 for William Paul. William occupied the place until 1923, after which Mrs Elizabeth Paul is listed as owning and occupying the place until at least 1935. In the 1940s, the place was occupied by Andrew Landgren. Plans submitted in 1986 by then-owners Derek and Margaret Luke show the original four-room cottage extended to the rear. The original central passage leads from the front door, dividing two bedrooms to the west from a front-room lounge and separate kitchen on the east, opening into a large vestibule flanked by a small bedroom (west side) and bathroom (east side), and then a sleep-out at the rear containing the laundry and shower. The front verandah is shown in these plans as having the western end enclosed. Real estate advertisements for the place in 2002 note it as having an original fireplace and mantelpiece in the front lounge. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also 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.

History

The land bounded by Harvest Road, Corkhill and John Streets was taken up with shipyards for most of the twentieth century; one occupant being Northwest Whaling Company; and as at 1904 it was Browns’ Shipyards, the proprietor A. E. Brown residing nearby at 1 Elizabeth St (later Corkhill St) on the corner of John St). During World War Two these shipyards were used for the construction of timber vessels for the Australian Navy. The State Shipbuilding Yards was established in 1942. The area extended from Corkhill Road to the foreshore, on the south side of Harvest Road. (It now comprises 59-71 Harvest Road, 9-17 Corkhill St and 3-15 Direction Way.) The site was opposite Preston Point, site of the Leeuwin naval station. Twelve wooden ships were contracted by the Commonwealth government using West Australian timber and with mechanical components made either in WA or in Melbourne. The State Engineering Works at Leighton was closely involved in the project. The ships were used mainly as army supply vessels in the islands north of Australia during World War II. Later occupants of the site included the Public Works Department (15 Corkhill Street; see separate Place Record), Bradford’s Insulation (1954 to 1970s) and Precision Marine (late 1970s). In 1993 Council supported subdivision of Lot 25 into 24 lots for housing. City of Fremantle had commissioned a site history and assessment prior to this (undertaken by Ian Molyneux, Architect). Council’s decision was supported by the Heritage Council of WA, who agreed that the site’s shipbuilding history, landscape setting and community river front activities were of cultural heritage significance, but that the buildings were deemed to be below threshold for entry into the Register of Heritage Places. Several large steel and timber sheds and timber yards were demolished in 1994 and between 1995 and 1999 the housing subdivision was completed.

History

Originally known as Mary Street, the majority of Herbert Street was developed between 1900 and 1910 (predominantly brick and stone houses), although some lots remained vacant until the immediate post-World War Two period (predominantly weatherboard houses). The street accommodated a mixture of owner/occupier residences and rental properties. Mary Street was gazetted as a public highway in 1905 and the name was changed to Herbert Street in 1922/23. House, 1 Herbert Street was built c. 1910. By 1911, there were nine houses on the right hand side of Mary Street. The first house was occupied by J. Murrie. By 1915, Mathias Powell occupied (and probably owned) the house and at some stage in the early 1920s, ownership passed to Emma Powell. Frederick Hunt had purchased the property by 1927, and he remained there until some time after 1961. A 1939 map shows 1 Herbert Street as being a large house with a full length front verandah, a paved path leading to the centrally located front door, and paved paths at the (north) side and rear of the house. A number of outbuildings were located in the back yard. The house was sewered in 1950. Since the late 1970s, the property has had a number of owners and/or occupiers. Renovations were completed in the 1980s or early 1990s. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also 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.
