Physical Description

House, 8 Higham Road was a single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage designed as a simple example of the InterWar Californian Bungalow style of architecture. Front elevation was asymmetrical, with a thrust bay and three quarter length verandah. There were limestone foundations, with a low dado of brick and rendered walls above. Roof was a complex hipped Mareseilles patterned tiled roof with ogee eaves gutters mounted on a fascia. There was a front porch under a hipped tiled roof supported by stylised Doric concrete columns on painted brick plinths. Timber casement windows had been replaced with aluminium. Part of the verandah was enclosed with aluminium framed glazed screens. There was a low brick wall to the front boundary line. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in April 2010 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0122/10) for proposed demolition of the house.

History

Messrs Congdon, Higham and Abbott subdivided this area of North Fremantle in the early 1890s. The residential lots were gradually sold off and developed 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. As late as 1935/36, there was only one house on the southern side of Higham Road (No. 10). House, 8 Higham Road was built c. 1940. In 1945, Alfred Sturcke was listed as the occupant. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in April 2010 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0122/10) for proposed demolition of the house.

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. Along with several of the surrounding lots, Lot 12 of P79 remained vacant well into the 1920s. At this time it was owned by Peter Awcock, who resided at 4 Phyllis Street. He held the lot until his death, and it was then held by his estate before being acquired by William Charles Russell, the owner of adjacent Lot 13 (11 Higham Road). In 1935, Horace Julius Tapper had a house built on the property, which was listed as a new house and vacant in the 1935-35 Post Office Directory, but which he later occupied. Rate records indicate that Tapper resided there until 1974. A 1939 plan shows the house soon after construction. It was a relatively small weatherboard house, with a half length front verandah, rear paths and outbuildings. The place is identified in the North Fremantle Heritage Study (1994) as being of cultural heritage significance to the development of North Fremantle.

House, 1 Jackson Street, is a typical stone, brick and iron single storey cottage (with two storey rear addition) dating from 1897. 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 late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 1 Jackson Street, is a single storey stone and iron cottage with symmetrical facade (the cottage has a two storey addition to the rear) designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Walls are limestone with red face brick quoins and reveals. Chimney is rendered face brick with simple rendered details. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. Verandah is under a separate bullnose corrugated iron roof, supported by timber posts with decorative timber valance and brackets. There is a gabled entry statement with decorative timber finial. Front elevation is symmetrical with two timber sash windows and a central front door. There is a rendered masonry and iron fence to the front boundary. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

Jackson Street was originally part of Lot P47, which was granted to Pensioner Guard George Costigan in 1884. The land was transferred to James Roe (Perth Journalist), then to George Frederick Gallop (Fremantle Clerk) before being purchased by a group of gentlemen in 1897. William Edward Marmion, James Grave, Edward Keane, Edmund Gilyard Lacey and Frederick Charles Monger immediately subdivided the land for residential development and the lots were gradually taken up between 1897 and 1913. The origin of the name Jackson Street is not known. Jackson Street was developed as a short street running east-west between Pearse Street and Queen Victoria Street (near the present junction with Stirling Highway). The houses built in Jackson Street were generally modest brick, stone or timber cottages for people working in the area. Many of the houses were investment properties leased to tenants. With the development and expansion of Fremantle Port, the zoning for the area changed from residential to general industrial purposes. In 2004, Jackson Street continues to be a residential street with most homes occupied by their owners. The stone, brick and iron house at 1 Jackson Street was built in the period 1897 to 1913 for an unidentified owner. In 1921, the five-room house was owned and occupied by William J Brown. Brown continued to own the property until 1961 although he does not appear to have lived in it during the last years of his ownership. In 1961, the place was transferred to R E and Jessie Forknall. By 1940, the house had a weatherboard addition at the rear and a small verandah. The rear of the property was vacant except for a washhouse, water closet and water tank. The property was connected to mains sewerage system in 1955. In 1956, a new garage was built at the rear of the block. Prior to 1979, half of the front verandah was enclosed with fibro sheeting and windows. In 1984, the place had a brick and iron front fence and was recorded as being in poor condition. By 1991, the cottage had undergone major renovations and a new two storey addition including a sunroom and loft was built across the entire rear elevation. The front verandah had also been rebuilt with a new gable over the front entrance. In 2004, the place is used as a residence. 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

House, 13 Jackson Street, a single storey former rectory dating from 1899 constructed with rendered brick walls and a hipped and gabled roof and limestone front fence, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value as an example of a Federation Queen Anne style of architecture that contributes to the quality of its setting along Jackson Street and the surrounding area; the place has some historic value as a representation of a rectory in the Fremantle area; it is a late nineteenth residence that demonstrates the settlement and development of the North Fremantle area; and, it has social value for members of the former church and contributes to the community’s sense of place.

Physical Description

House, 13 Jackson Street is a single storey rendered brick and Colorbond house with asymmetrical facade built in the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture in 1899. The house is elevated above the street and addresses the corner of Jackson and Pearse Streets with the front entrance located on the western (Pearse St) elevation. The walls are painted and rendered brick. The corrugated iron hipped roof has three prominent decorative gables which extend from the bays walls. The verandah is under a separate corrugated Colorbond roof and wraps around the south and west facades and is supported by simple posts over a concrete floor which are not the original. There are three rendered corbelled chimneys evident. The house is larger than most in the immediate area and is orientated to the south west corner of the block. The rear of the site has skillioned roof additions and paved area. The room on the north west corner is a rendered brick construction, a door has been previously removed and in filled. There is no WC or outbuildings extant. This place contains a limestone feature. This feature is a limestone retaining wall to the edge of the site to the south and west. A steel bar fence is located above the limestone wall. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Feb 2010 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for demolition of the rear skillioned roof section of the original house to facilitate the approved survey strata, second storey additions and external and internal alterations to the original house.

The land was transferred to James Roe (Perth Journalist), then to George Frederick Gallop (Fremantle Clerk) before being purchased by a group of gentlemen in 1897. William Edward Marmion, James Grave, Edward Keane, Edmund Gilyard Lacey and Frederick Charles Monger immediately subdivided the land for residential development and the lots were gradually taken up between 1897 and 1913. The origin of the name Jackson Street is not known. Jackson Street was developed as a short street running east-west between Pearse Street and Queen Victoria Street (near the present junction with Stirling Highway). The houses built in Jackson Street were generally modest brick, stone or timber cottages for people working in the area. Many of the houses were investment properties leased to tenants. With the development and expansion of Fremantle Port, the zoning for the area changed from residential to general industrial purposes. In 2004, Jackson Street continues to be a residential street with most homes occupied by their owners. The brick and tile house at 13 Jackson Street was built circa 1899 as a rectory for the Church of England’s Church of St Mary the Virgin, which was built on the corner of Jackson Street and Queen Victoria Street in 1895 to serve the parish of North Fremantle. The formation of North Fremantle as a separate parish in 1899 necessitated the construction of a rectory. (Prior to this, the Rector of St John’s, Fremantle, had attended the church and its parishioners). The first Rector in North Fremantle was Reverend W F Marshall. The site chosen was the largest block in the street and the house was one of the largest at the time. Rectors who lived at the house are as follows: W F Marshall (1899-1901); R W H Christie (1901-1902); S Asquith (1902-1903); D D Moore (1903-1912); C S Ricardo (1912); J A Priestly (1912-1917); G G Humphrey (1917-1926); W Scott-Clarke (1926-1933); and H C Lawson (1940-1942). Although the Church continued to serve the parish until 1971, St Mary’s ceased to have a resident rector in 1942. It is assumed that the church sold the house at this time. (This has not been verified from available records; a title search is required). In 1955, the property was owned and occupied by George Meters. In 1940, the house had verandahs on all sides and retained its original form. A galvanised iron laundry, water tank and water closet were located at the far corner of the block. In 1954, the house was connected to the mains sewerage system and in 1959 a timber and asbestos garage was built on the site. By 1979, the original verandah posts had been removed and a portion of the verandah had been enclosed with a brick and louvered wall. 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. In 1985, minor renovations were undertaken including painting the exterior and interior of the house. In 2004, the house was still used as a residence. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Feb 2010 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for demolition of the rear skillioned roof section of the original house to facilitate the approved survey strata, second storey additions and external and internal alterations to the original house. In 2010 the place was being used as offices. In March 2014 real estate ads reported that the place was recently restored by owner and architect Ross McAndrew. It was sold at auction in April 2014 for $1.3m. It was described as a 4 bed house. The floor plan shows a rear extension for a kitchen, and conservatory, and a double garage at the rear with a loft bedroom above.

The stone and iron cottage at 16 Jackson Street, on the corner of Jackson and Pearse Streets, was built between 1895 and 1897 for the Resident Magistrate of Fremantle, Robert Fairbairn (1886-1908). It is not clear whether Fairbairn occupied this cottage or not. Bartholomew Magee owned the cottage between 1921 and 1928, which was then described as a three room stone cottage. Magee also owned the adjacent property at 20 Jackson Street, and leased both cottages to a series of tenants. In 1930, both cottages were purchased by Marcus Barlow, who also tenanted the properties until 1934. From 1955 to 1968, 16 Jackson Street owned and occupied by William D Brown. When Barbara Vaughan purchased the house in 1968 she continued the rental tradition, leasing the place to various tenants until 1974, when it was purchased by Eric Hood Pty Ltd. By 1940, there was a timber addition to the rear of the house. The rear of the block was vacant. The house was connected to mains sewerage system in 1954. In 1974 a garage and store were built at the rear of the property facing Pearse Street. The new structure was to be used as a warehouse for Eric Hood’s paint factory and distributor business. The cottage was used as a residence for a caretaker. Prior to 1979, the front verandah of the cottage was enclosed with a wall constructed of louvers and fibro. By 1994, this cladding had been replaced with a solid panelled wall with two aluminium windows. In 2004 the place is used for the dual purposes of a residence and business. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

In 1930, both cottages were purchased by Marcus Barlow, who also tenanted both properties until 1934. Between 1955 and 1961, the cottage at 20 Jackson Street was owned and occupied by Norman Hawke. In 1940, the cottage retained its original form filling the front half of the block. By this time, a verandah and galvanised iron addition had been built to the rear. Within the remaining back yard were a galvanised iron wash house and water closet. A photograph of the place taken in 1979 shows that the front verandah had been enclosed with a wall of louvres, brick and weatherboard. Aluminium windows were inserted in this cladding. In 2004, the place is used as a residence. 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.

Statement of Significance

House, 3 Jackson Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey cottage dating from circa 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 North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place exhibits elements of the Victorian Georgian and Federation Bungalow styles of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 3 Jackson Street, is a single storey brick and iron cottage with symmetrical facade designed with elements of both the Victorian Georgian and Federation Bungalow styles of architecture. The overall symmetry of the facade follows the Georgian style, whilst the brick piers and rendered columns to the verandah are of the Federation Bungalow style. Walls are red face brick with a rendered brick panel to the verandah balustrade. The chimneys are rendered brick with simple rendered details. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. Verandah is under a separate tiled roof. Verandah is supported by brick piers and rendered columns with rendered brick panels between. Front elevation is symmetrical with two timber sash windows and a central front door. Brick pier and steel tube fence to front.

History

Jackson Street was originally part of Lot P47, which was granted to Pensioner Guard George Costigan in 1884. The land was transferred to James Roe (Perth Journalist), then to George Frederick Gallop (Fremantle Clerk) before being purchased by a group of gentlemen in 1897. William Edward Marmion, James Grave, Edward Keane, Edmund Gilyard Lacey and Frederick Charles Monger immediately subdivided the land for residential development and the lots were gradually taken up between 1897 and 1913. The origin of the name Jackson Street is not known. Jackson Street was developed as a short street running east-west between Pearse Street and Queen Victoria Street (near the present junction with Stirling Highway). The houses built in Jackson Street were generally modest brick, stone or timber cottages for people working in the area. Many of the houses were investment properties leased to tenants. With the development and expansion of Fremantle Port, the zoning for the area changed from residential to general industrial purposes. In 2004, Jackson Street continues to be a residential street with most homes occupied by their owners. The brick and iron cottage at 3 Jackson Street was built between 1895 and 1897 on a long, narrow block. In 1895, the land owned by Mrs Henley was undeveloped but the cottage appears on an 1897 plan. The lot was originally part of a larger landholding owned by jeweller and developer, Frederick Mason, who subdivided the land for residential purposes in 1892. Although records are missing, the house evidently remained within Henley family, for in 1921 the place was owned by William E Henley and occupied by William J Heeney. The property was transferred to Mary Henley in 1927 and she occupied the cottage until 1935. Between 1955 and 1961 the place was owned and occupied by Hector Henley. The Henley family have a recorded association with the place of over sixty years. A plan dated 1940 shows the cottage occupied only the front third of the block with the remainder marked out with concrete pathways, a weatherboard washhouse, two water tanks and a water closet. Verandahs were located on the front and back of the house. The house was connected to the mains sewerage system in 1950. In 1979, the façade of the place showed little modification from the original form. In 2004, the place is used as a residence. 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.

The duplex was left vacant and in a very poor condition for many years. In 2010 the place was sold. Also in 2010 the City of Fremantle granted planning approval for conservation and additions at the rear to the duplex. In 2011 a Heritage Grant by the City of Fremantle was awarded towards the conservation of the facade.

Physical Description

House, 8 Jackson Street, is a single storey brick and iron cottage with symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The cottage is well elevated above street level. Walls are painted brick. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. Verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof, supported by timber posts with decorative timber brackets. Front elevation is symmetrical with two timber framed leadlight windows and a central front door. This place contains a limestone feature.

In 2004, Jackson Street continues to be a residential street with most homes occupied by their owners. A stone, brick and iron cottage was built at 8 Jackson Street between 1895 and 1897 for an unidentified owner. The lot was originally part of a larger landholding owned by jeweller and developer, Frederick Mason, who subdivided the land for residential purposes in 1892. Mason retained ownership in 1895, when it was still vacant land. While the duplex cottage is present on an 1897 plan, there are no records for the owner at this time. (A title search would reveal this information). In 1921, the cottage was owned and occupied by Mary Soley. Following her death in 1923, ownership of the cottage was transferred to Frederick Soley, who occupied the house until 1935. Between 1955 and 1961, Joyce Briggs owned the cottage. It would appear from a plan dated 1913 that the adjacent lot was owned by the same people and that the cottage had access to all the land included in the two lots. This has led to some confusion over the street numbering. The cottage was numbered 10 Jackson Street (as the land between it and number 12 was vacant) and was renumbered 8 Jackson Street in later years. By 1940, the cottage had verandahs at the rear and front, with the rear verandah comprising two separate additions. At this time, a tennis court was located on the land next door. The cottage was connected to the mains sewerage system in 1950 and an asbestos garage was built on the site in 1959. In 1979, the cottage had a brick addition at the rear. The front veranda had metal structural supports and detail. The cottage was used for garment manufacturing by Dreske-Somoff leather manufacturers at this time. In 2004, the place is used as a residence. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

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

Duplex, 13 Jewell Parade, is a single storey weatherboard and iron duplex pair with an overall symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The duplex is currently a single residence, although much of the internal divisions remain and the front elevation clearly reads as a duplex. Both sides of the duplex have identical materials and features. The walls are timber framed, weatherboard and fibre cement sheet clad. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves and a dividing parapet wall. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof, is supported by timber posts and has a concrete floor. The front elevation is symmetrical with a timber double hung sash window and a front door to each side. The duplex is set above street level with a brick retaining wall at the front boundary. In 2016 the place appears abandoned and/or is undergoing renovations. The windows and doors are covered with corrugated iron.

History

The weatherboard and iron residential duplex at 13 Jewell Parade (formerly 5/6 Jewell Parade) was built between 1897 and 1913 for an unidentified owner. It was originally part of Lot P41 that was subdivided in 1890/91. The land as vacant in 1897 but the present building is shown on the 1913 sewerage plan of the area. In 1921, the owner of the property was Elizabeth Wilson. She occupied one side of the duplex, while G. Goodsell occupied the other. By 1929, ownership had been transferred to Rose Bishop and Agnes Guthrie. These women did not occupy the place but rented the two halves of the building to different occupants. Available information indicates that these owners retained the property until 1935. Information from the current occupant (Mr Thacker, 2004) states the place was transferred to Florence Thacker in 1945. She occupied the southern half (number 5) and leased the northern half (number 6) to various tenants. Between 1955 and 1961, number 6 was occupied by Hilda Lucy Harris. The property has been renumbered several times over the years, including 13 and 15 Jewell Parade, and 13 and 13a Jewell Parade. In 1940, each side of the duplex had verandahs at the front and back, with front and side entries. Number 5 had a water tank, a small galvanised shed and an earth closet in the back yard, while number 6 had a weatherboard shed and earth closet. The property was connected to the main sewerage system in 1957. This place was 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. The occupant circa 2005 undertook significant internal and external renovations and the building has been used as a single residence although internal divisions of the building remain. In 2016 the place appears abandoned and/or is undergoing renovations.

History

This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries. It is not known how old this particular wall is. Since 2005 the wall has been demolished.

Statement of Significance

House, 5 Jewell Parade, is a typical brick, weatherboard and iron 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, 5 Jewell Parade, is a single storey painted brick, weatherboard and iron cottage with asymmetrical facade. Walls are painted brick and timber framed clad with weatherboards. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with raked eaves. Verandah is under main corrugated iron roof. Verandah is supported by timber posts on square brick plinths. Front elevation is asymmetrical with a timber framed fixed pane and two sash window set to the protruding front section of the place and to the recessed section. The front door is at right angles to the front facade and opens to the front porch. There is a garage to the left and a brick paved parking area to the front.

History

From the available information it appears that the house at 5 Jewell Parade has its origins in the former stables of the Police Station on Queen Victoria Street. It is claimed that the stables were built in the 1840s however this information is yet to be verified. A building does appear to be present on the site in 1897. Information from rate books for the period states that a four-roomed stone cottage was on the lot in 1890. The cottage was owned by the developers of the subdivision and occupied by a tailor, Owen Edward. It is possible that this cottage was later altered for use as stables, but no evidence has been located to support this. From 1921 to 1935, the property was owned by HMG Police Department and described as stables. In 1940 the site is shown with a stone building in the north west corner of the lot and the remainder of the lot vacant. Numbering of the street at this time suggests the place was number 2 Jewell Parade. Little information is available until 1986 when the building is described as providing additional storage space for the new residence and shop on the front of the block described as number 7 Jewell Parade. In 1996, the storage area or former stables had a second storey added and became used as a residence and at this time was numbered 5/7 Jewell Parade.
