Statement of Significance

House, 6 Harbour Road, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1897. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof with square timber posts. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a low level brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

In 1896, 48 was vacant land owned by W E Wray, one of the men responsible for the subdivision of the area the previous year. The following year, a cottage of three rooms was built for M Blackwood. It was noted in 1900 that the house accommodated four males and three females, presumably Mr and Mrs Blackwood and their five children. Blackwood, a carpenter by trade, owned the house until at least 1905/06. By that year, Blackwood and his family had moved out and Edward Coughlin, a painter, was the occupant. By 1912/13, the property was owned by Eliza Piggott and occupied by Catherine Krey. The house was connected to the sewer in 1912. The house has had a number of owners since c. 1926, when it was owned and occupied by William Leyshon. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 6 Harbour Road as a weatherboard cottage with a full length front verandah, two asbestos sleep-outs and verandah at the rear, and an asbestos garage to the side of the house. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - YELLOW - significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

Statement of Significance

Significance difficult to determine, however documentary evidence suggests that the house dates from 1900 and is an unusual design for the South Fremantle area. It is suggested that there is a verandah around the entire house. Further information would be required to make an assessment of this place.

Physical Description

House, 10 Hickory Street is a single storey weatherboard and iron roofed cottage. The walls are weatherboard clad and stud framed. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron or replacement zincalume. The wrap around verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof and timber posts. The facade is symmetrical with a central door and windows on either side. The verandah has been filled in on the north and south sides. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in December 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0544/09) for a proposed carport and front fence.

History

Hickory Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century during the gold boom and much of the housing stock still dates from that time. The street was formerly known as James Street, the change occurring in 1901/02. In 1896, Lot 32 (later 10 Hickory Street) was part of a five acre block owned by John Thomas. In 1897, a single room weatherboard cottage was built for and occupied by William Worsfold, a clerk. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned by B & J Stocks; Julian Smith, a labourer, was the occupant the following year. In 1903/04, the property was owned by James Black and occupied by Frederick Canning, a locomotive employee. The house remained a rental property for many years. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 10 Hickory Street as a small weatherboard house with a full length front verandah wrapping around both sides, and a full length rear verandah. There is no front path or steps noted on the diagram, making the house quite different from the majority in South Fremantle. Two galvanised iron sheds were located at the rear of the backyard. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in December 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0544/09) for a proposed carport and front fence.

Statement of Significance

20 Hickory Street is a two storey, fibrous cement sheet clad timber framed house with a corrugated steel roof which has little heritage significance due to the extent of alteration.

Physical Description

A two storey asbestos clad timber framed house with a hipped roof clad in corrugated steel sheeting. The front and side verandas have been fully enclosed with timber stud walls and the original front door and windows relocated to external wall. The upper floor is clad with Hardiplank fibrous cement sheeting. There has been considerable internal change to the house as well as the removal of the original front wall of the house.

History

Hickory Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century during the gold boom and much of the housing stock still dates from that time. The street was formerly known as James Street, the change occurring in 1901/02. House 20 Hickory Street first appears in the rate books in 1897 as a one room cottage. The cottage is on Lot 42 and was originally known as 42 Hickory Street before changing to the current number in 1935/36. From 1897 to at least 1925/26 the cottage was owned by Thomas Jack, who was a smelter and labourer. Ownership had changed by 1930/31 to Lillian Maud Shortle and she had several tenants including Charles Alfred Read in 1930/31 and Roderick McLean in 1935/36. A Metropolitan Sewerage Map from 1954 shows a timber framed asbestos house with a projecting front room with verandahs on three sides. A 1979 photo from the Fremantle Society Photographic Survey shows that the verandahs have been enclosed with asbestos cladding and louvred windows. The front door is on the north side of the house. In 1983 a first floor extension was added on the north side of the house and in 1989 the rear lean to was demolished and the interior of the house was reconfigured. The site was subdivided in 1998. The place was added to the Fremantle Municipal Inventory in 2000 and the Heritage List in 2008. In a review in 2010 it was recommended that the place be removed from the Heritage List because it was significantly altered and below the threshold for inclusion on the list. In 2023 the heritage listing for this place was reviewed as part of the Annual Update of The Heritage List and Local Heritage Survey. On 13 March 2024 Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Local Heritage Survey Management Category to Level 4 Historic Record Only.

History

The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. A single room cottage was been built on the property in 1897 for owner and occupier G L Barton, a painter. By 1898, the house had been extended to three rooms and was occupied by William Harvey, a machinist and piano tuner. Barton still owned the property. Harvey purchased the property the following year and continued to live there until his death in 1911. Grace, his widow, continued to own the house for a number of years. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House, 24 Hulbert Street as a brick house set well back from the street. The house had a full length front verandah and centrally located front steps. The property comprised two town lots. William Harvey composed music in Adelaide in the 1880s and 1890s and seven compositions by him are known to exist. Several are held in the Salisbury Public Library in South Australia. Harvey died on 24 September 1911 and is buried in the Anglican section of Fremantle Cemetery. The Salisbury Public Library believes that he moved to Fremantle and married a widow with two daughters and worked as a piano tuner. In 1923/24, Grace Skelton was the owner and occupant. It is likely that Mrs Harvey had remarried. Mrs Skelton retained ownership until 1942/44, when it was owned and occupied by Samuel Solomon. In 1946/47, House, 24 Hulbert Street was subdivided into two flats by new owner Eva Goodsell. In 1951/52, the property was again listed in the rate book as a single residence. At this time, it was owned by Alexander Greig and occupied by Allan Webster. In the early 1950s, the house was owned and occupied by Clara and James McClure. They remained there until 1960-64, before it was owned by D & M Damiano. Between 1964 and 68, House, 24 Hulbert Street was owned by Slavatore and Francesco Caiulo. However, no occupant is listed in the rate books during this time. In 1966, Mr Caiulo submitted plans for an internal toilet and new garage. The works were completed in April 1968. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. 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. The house has had a number of owners since the early 1970s. In the mid-1990s, the house was ' almost totally demolished' and a two storey house built on the property. Prior to this, the house had been heavily modified over the years, but still retained the external appearance of a c. 1900 cottage typical of Fremantle. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.

History

The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 30 Hulbert Street was constructed c. 1900. In 1900, a cottage owned and occupied by H Spencer, a locomotive employee, was listed on the property. Between c. 1905 and c. 1910, the property was owned by John Geugan, a labourer. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House 30 Hulbert Street as a weatherboard house set at an angle to the street. The house had a full length front verandah with centrally located front steps and there was a large weatherboard building to the rear. In 1915/16, House, 30 Hulbert Street was owned by Loftus Connor and occupied by John Carr. The property was purchased by Elise Hutchins in 1920/21, who retained ownership until c. 1930, when it was bought by Joseph Dobson. It was occupied by tenants Jessie Davy and then Norman Campbell during Dobson’s ownership, which lasted until c. 1940. Charles and Mary Ellen Johnstone owned and lived in the house until the early 1960s. The property has had a number of owners since that time and between 1980 and c. 1990, the original cottage was demolished and a large double storey brick house built in its place. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. 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. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.
