History

Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 2 Ada Street was built by 1902 when it was described in the rate books as a cottage owned by Ernest Fortiscue and occupied by Patrick Owen, a lumper. Mr Fortiscue continued to own this and the cottage next door at No. 4 until c. 1940. It was rented to a succession of tenants during this time.

It was also a rental property during this time. Between 1980 and 1995 the place was demolished and two storey units constructed. On 23 February 2022 Council resolved to remove 2 Ada Street from the Heritage List and to change the management category in the Local Heritage Survey to Historic Record Only.

Map Description - 19th C Limestone Walls & Steps.

History

Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 3 Ada Street was built between 1912 and 1922. In that year, it was owned and occupied by Gertrude Marshall. This was the second house to be built on the lot. A cottage had been built there between 1895 and 1901/02. In 1902, it was owned by A B Kidson and occupied by Mrs Falemer (?sp). Further research would reveal when this house was demolished. Gertrude died in the mid-1950s, and by 1960 the house was owned by Rita and Joseph Warren. By 1974, the house was owned by Salvatore and Grazia Scagliotta, who were still the owners in 2005. 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. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.
