Statement of Significance

House, 10 Hevron Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey cottage dating from the 1890s. 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

House, 10 Hevron Street, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are painted weatherboards. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. The verandah is under a broken back corrugated iron roof supported by timber posts. The front elevation is symmetrical. Originally there would have been two timber sash windows either side of the central front door.

History

The original parcel of land that became Hevron Street formed part of Lot P 52, a two acre lot granted to William Ralph Yesrige, a Pensioner Guard. The land remained undeveloped until it was subdivided by John Allen, Frederick Mason and a Mr Davies c. 1890. Ambrose James Hevron purchased an allotment in 1894, as did Robert Payne. By 1897 the land had been partially developed, with four cottages on the left hand side and six cottages on the right hand side of the street, which was originally named Frederick Street. The street was officially renamed Hevron Street on 19 January, 1923. From its establishment, Hevron Street developed as a primarily residential area. Following World War II, the area saw an influx of migrants, especially of Portuguese and Italian origin. By 1895, there was a three roomed cottage on Lot 4 of P52. According to a local source, the cottage had been relocated from the western side of the railway by Robert Payne, an engine driver. Robert Payne had been born in England in 1852 and married Margaret Gamble in 1874. They both arrived in Fremantle on the Oriana in 1888 and lived elsewhere in North Fremantle before living at 10 Hevron Street, where they had 11 children. Robert Payne died in 1923, and Margaret died on 9 April 1935. Following Margaret’s death, the property passed to their daughter, Doris May, and her husband Harold A. Luce. The Luces lived there until the early 1960s. A 1939 plan shows 10 Hevron Street as being weatherboard, slightly offset from the line of the front boundary. It had full length front and rear verandahs. This place was included in the "North Fremantle Heritage Study", prepared by Craig Burton, for the City of Fremantle, June 1994.

Statement of Significance

House, 11 Hevron Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey cottage. 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.

Physical Description

House, 11 Hevron Street, is a single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage with symmetrical facade. Walls are roughcast render. The roof is hipped and tiled with a brick chimney. The verandah is under a separate tiled roof supported by rendered masonry columns with a solid rendered masonry balustrade. The front elevation is symmetrical with two timber framed fixed pane windows with etched design, with casements to either side and a central front door. There is a low level iron fence to the front boundary line.

History

The original parcel of land that became Hevron Street formed part of Lot P 52, a two acre lot granted to William Ralph Yesrige, a Pensioner Guard. The land remained undeveloped until it was subdivided by John Allen, Frederick Mason and a Mr Davies c. 1890. Ambrose James Hevron purchased an allotment in 1894, as did Robert Payne. By 1897 the land had been partially developed, with four cottages on the left hand side and six cottages on the right hand side of the street, which was originally named Frederick Street. The street was officially renamed Hevron Street on 19 January, 1923. From its establishment, Hevron Street developed as a primarily residential area. Following World War II, the area saw an influx of migrants, especially of Portuguese and Italian origin. The date of construction of House, 11 Hevron Street is unclear. In 1895, the block of land on which 11 Hevron Street stands was vacant land owned by Ambrose James Hevron. Two years later, a house appeared on a Public Works Department Plan. By 1922, the four roomed stone house was owned and occupied by Frank Ball. Ball retained ownership until at least the mid-1930s, by which time it was a rental property. A 1939 diagram shows House, 11 Hevron Street as having a full length front verandah with a centrally located front path. There was an addition (north west) and verandah to the rear and a number of outbuildings in the back yard. By 1955, the house was owned by Gladys Nelson. In 1955, ownership changed to Felice Spina, who had previously been the occupant. Spina retained ownership until at least 1977, though it was leased to tenants from c. 1960. Floor plans shown on Public Works Department plans dated 1904 and 1939 appear to differ in layout in unusual areas. This may have been because substantial changes were made to the c. 1896 house, or it was demolished and another house built in its place. The 1939 plan identifies the house as concrete brick (or block) and council records dated 1965 describe the building as a brick dwelling of six rooms. A 1984 plan (land use survey map) indicates that the floor plan changed again between 1939 and 1984. Additions made to the (1939) building can be read.

Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a modified example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 12 Hevron Street, is a modified single storey stone and iron cottage originally with symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with a broken back verandah and extension to the side. A limestone entrance portico in front of the central door and an additional front room has changed the original form. Front elevation was originally symmetrical with two sets of windows and a central front door. There is a timber and rendered pillars fence to the front boundary line.

History

The original parcel of land that became Hevron Street formed part of Lot P 52, a two acre lot granted to William Ralph Yesrige, a Pensioner Guard. The land remained undeveloped until it was subdivided by John Allen, Frederick Mason and a Mr Davies c. 1890. Ambrose James Hevron purchased an allotment in 1894, as did Robert Payne.

The street was officially renamed Hevron Street on 19 January, 1923. From its establishment, Hevron Street developed as a primarily residential area. Following World War II, the area saw an influx of migrants, especially of Portuguese and Italian origin. By 1895, there was a two-roomed cottage at 12 Hevron Street (Lot 3 of P52), owned by George Reeves. Although it appears that this cottage was subsequently demolished, Reeves continued to own the lot and had a five roomed stone cottage built c. 1900. By this time, George and Mary Jane Reeves (nee Barker) had been married for about 10 years. They subsequently had nine children. George Reeves died in Fremantle Hospital in 1949 at the age of 77. Mary Jane continued to live in their family home until her own death in 1961, aged 92. Mario Cordisco subsequently purchased the property and undertook substantial renovations in 1962 and again in 1965. The place was then sold to J. Conole, who lived there until 1984. Since this time, the property has had a number of owners. A 1939 plan shows 12 Hevron Street as being a brick house set against the western boundary. It had a full length front verandah and a galvanised iron extension the full length of the rear of the house. There was also a large paved area at the back of the house and various outbuildings in the back yard. This place was included in the "North Fremantle Heritage Study", prepared by Craig Burton, for the City of Fremantle, June 1994. A 2005 description stated the main roof was tiled, and that the verandah had chamfered timber posts under an iron roof. The whole roof is now replacement corrugated galvanised iron. A street view dated April 2014 showed the house was undergoing renovations, with a besser brick addition to the side, and a new limestone portico entrance.

By 1897, Matthews had had a weatherboard house built on the property. By 1921/22, the place was owned by George Holden, who leased it to William A Medhurst. Holden continued to own the property as an investment until at least 1935. By 1955 ownership had transferred to William Hill. William Hill was a labourer who had been born in the house at 8 Hevron Street, where he lived with his parents and eight siblings. His father, John Hill senior, was of Irish origin, and had migrated to Australia c. 1891 and worked for the Fremantle Harbour Works. The Hill family continued to have a long association with the street, with members living at numbers 4, 6 and 8 in 1985. William and Lillian Hill continued to live at 4 Hevron Street until at least 1993. A 1939 diagram shows House, 4 Hevron Street as being weatherboard, with a full length front verandah, with a path across the full width of the house turning to lead down the eastern side of the house, across the rear and into both corners of the back yard. At some time in the late 1990s, the house was demolished and a new residence built in its place.

Following World War II, the area saw an influx of migrants, especially of Portuguese and Italian origin. Lot 5 of P52 remained undeveloped until c. 1900, when a house was built on the land. It is thought that the house was built by John Hill and his father-in-law, Thomas Fell. The Fells had already built a house at No. 6 Hevron Street, and persuaded their daughter and son-in-law (who had married in St John's Church in 1896) to purchase the block next door. John Hill had arrived in Australia c. 1891 and lived in the Eastern colonies before coming to Western Australia, where he was first an employee of the Bunbury Harbour Works before moving to North Fremantle and the Fremantle Harbour Works. The Hills had nine children, all of whom were born at No. 8 Hevron Street. Over time, the house was extended to cater for the ever-growing family, with additions at the rear comprising two rooms and a bathroom. John Hill continued to reside at 8 Hevron Street until his death in 1936. One of his sons, Thomas Charles Hill, lived in the family home from 1955 until his own death in 1987, at which time ownership of the property passed to the Public Trust Office. A 1939 plan shows 8 Hevron Street as being a large weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and full length rear enclosure/verandah. There was also a large outbuilding set against the back fence. The house was demolished in 1991. Prior to this, some locals had protested against the demolition of the house and suggested that it be relocated to an alternative site. However, the response from the public was limited, and it is unclear as to whether this was ultimately carried out. A new brick and iron home was subsequently built on the site. This place had been included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It had also been 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.

Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area.

Physical Description

House, 1 Higham Road, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with symmetrical facade constructed between 1900 and 1921. Walls are painted weatherboards. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. The verandah is under a separate bullnose iron roof supported by timber posts. The front elevation would have been symmetrical however now has double French doors in place of an original window opening, and a timber sash window on the other side of the central front door. Originally a simple two roomed cottage, the form of the building has been altered quite substantially, yet retains the weatherboard cladding. The is no fence to the front boundary line.

History

Messrs Congdon, Higham and Abbott subdivided this area of North Fremantle in the early 1890s. The residential lots were gradually sold off, and by 1905, the Higham Road had been declared a public highway. The road was named for John Joseph Higham, one of the original developers. Several of the lots remained undeveloped until the inter-war period. House, 1 Higham Road was constructed between c. 1900 and 1922. It first appears in the 1921/22 rate book when it was owned by Henry A. Meldrum. Meldrum continued to own the property until at least 1949. By 1955, title had passed to Francis L. Day, who held the property as an investment. Meldrum remained in occupation as the tenant, an arrangement that continued until at least 1982. A 1939 plan shows House, 1 Higham Road as being weatherboard, with a full length front verandah, a relatively large paved area at the rear of the house and a path in the back yard. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

Several of the lots remained undeveloped until the inter-war period. Sited on the corner of Corkhill Street, the house at 10 Higham Road was owned and occupied by William H. Palethorpe in 1921-22, but was presumably constructed prior to this time. Palethorpe lived there for several years, but records indicate that he had moved out by 1923-34, when Horace Albert Rickards was recorded as being the occupant. Rickards subsequently bought the house and continued to live there until c. 1946. Post Office Directories list W.D. Lyngcoln as the next occupier, and Rates records from 1955 record Ena F. Lyngcoln as the owner and occupier. A 1939 plan shows House, 10 Higham Road as being a large weatherboard house. The house was demolished in 1988.

Physical Description

House, 13 Higham Road, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Walls are painted weatherboard. The expansive roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof, supported by timber posts with decorative brackets. The front elevation is symmetrical with two timber sash windows and a central front door with side lights. A tall corbelled face brick chimney is visible. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.

History

Messrs Congdon, Higham and Abbott subdivided this area of North Fremantle in the early 1890s. The residential lots were gradually sold off, and by 1905, the Higham Road had been declared a public highway. The road was named for John Joseph Higham, one of the original developers. Several of the lots remained undeveloped until the inter-war period. House, 13 Higham Road first appears in the rate records in 1921/22, but it is assumed that the place was built prior to this. At this time, William C. Russell was recorded as the owner of the five roomed timber house. He retained ownership until the late 1970s and it appears the place has had only one owner since that time. A 1939 plan shows House, 13 Higham Road as being a large weatherboard house, with a full length front verandah and a centrally located front path. There was another verandah at the rear of the house and outbuildings in the back yard. 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.
