History

Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). House, 2 Lefroy Road was built c. 1900 for owner John Cook, a loamer. Henry Clemens owned the property between c. 1905 and c. 1910 and it was occupied by tenants during this time. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House, 2 Lefroy Road as a relatively large house, comprising of a stone section at the front and a large weatherboard section at the rear. The house had a full length front verandah. A weatherboard stable was located at the rear of the property at this time. Jane Ramsay was the registered owner of the property from c. 1915 to 1944/45. It was occupied by a succession of tenants during this time, including Romily Hall, Emily Hall (later Tonkin), Thomas Willoughby, Margaret Aitken, Henry Bedbow and William Bateman. House, 2 Lefroy Road was owned by Anthony Stella for a few years, before being sold to long-term owner and occupant Lucia Vinci. The Vinci family continued to own the property until c. 1995. It is not known when the house was demolished. Houses 2, 17 & 19 Lefroy Road & 22-24 McLaren had the same façade – the detailing to the verandah (columns supported on low wall) and the low wall to street frontage are identical. 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. By 1995, the house had been demolished and replaced with a single storey brick and tile house. 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.

The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). House, 20 Lefroy Road was built c. 1980. Up until this time, the land was vacant and had changed hands many times over the years. 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 as containing a limestone feature. 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.

History

Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). House, 4 Lefroy Road was built in 1898. In that year, it was described as a cottage of two rooms owned by McKenzie Brothers and occupied by William McKenzie, a baker. This remained the situation until 1901/02, when Mrs Holland was added as an occupant. Presumably Mrs Holland and William McKenzie married, for in 1902/03, Mrs William McKenzie was listed as the owner. In this year, William is listed as a barman. In 1903/04, Sarah Holland was listed as the occupant. In 1907/08, the house was bought by Albert Warren, who was a clerk at the Water Supply Office. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House, 4 Lefroy Road as a small brick house with a full length front verandah. In 1914/15, House, 4 Lefroy Road was bought by Florence and Frederick Bamkin. They moved in the following year. The Bamkins were both born in England and emigrated to Victoria and later to Western Australia (in the 1890s). They found it difficult to find accommodation due to the lack of houses caused by the influx of people associated with the Gold Boom. For a time they lived in a tent in East Fremantle, where their son Charles George (the third of seven children) was born. They later moved to Jandakot where they had a market garden and then to Fremantle, where Mr Bamkin was a greengrocer. Fred died in September 1915 and is buried in Fremantle Cemetery. Following Fred’s death, House 4 Lefroy Road was owned by Florence. She sold the house to John and James Sullivan in 1923/24 and John took up residence. Following John’s death, the property was registered to Victor Sullivan in 1950/51. Plans were approved for alterations and additions in 1953. The work was completed by S K Congdon for Victor Sullivan, and cost ₤690. Circa 1960, the house was bought and occupied by D Piscicelli, a labourer, before being sold to R Bacich, then Giuseppe and Antonia Rafala. Anastasios and Sofia Athanassiou bought the property in the late 1960s and retained ownership until 1900. The house has had a number of owners since that time. Circa 2000, House, 4 Lefroy Road was restored and a double storey extension was added to the rear.

Statement of Significance

House, 51 Lefroy Road, is a single storey brick and Colorbond house dating from 1905. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. The place has some historic value as an early twentieth century residence that demonstrates the settlement and development of the Fremantle area. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a fine example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 51 Lefroy Road is a single storey tuck pointed brick and Colorbond house designed as a fine example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture. The walls are red tuck pointed brick with cream rendered bands at dado and head height. The roof is hipped with twin gables and clad with Colorbond. There are two tall rendered corbelled chimneys evident. The gables have timber roof vents and timber finials. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with top and side fanlights flanked on either side by similar doors. The verandah has a separate Colorbond bullnose roof (not originally bullnose) supported by turned and chamfered timber posts. The house sits above street level on limestone foundations, with central limestone steps leading up to the concrete verandah. There is a low wrought iron and limestone fence to the front boundary line.

History

Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). A cottage was built on this site for Robert George Brown in 1905. From 1907 it was owned but Charlotte Ann Baker, with the occupant listed as Joseph Baker. Bakers continued to own the house into the 1930s, although they ceased to live there in the 1920s. The ownership continued to be listed as the estate of C.A. Baker into the 1950s. The place was occupied from the early 1950s by Fritz Carl Lange. A 1908 sewerage plan shows a brick cottage on the lot, with verandah across the entire front elevation and two projecting bay windows. The rear elevation is largely taken up with a bathroom, with the remainder being a small verandah. A 1984 plan shows the place with significant extensions to the rear. The house was sold in 1994, at which time its brickwork was painted white and its verandah was a simple metal railing. Real estate advertisements in 2007 and 2008 show the place opulently renovated. The former skillion verandah has been replaced with a bullnose. Filigree iron trim has been added and all verandah rails removed. The brickwork has been cleaned and tuckpointed. A decorative wrought iron fence evident in the 1994 photograph has been retained. Descriptions of the place claim that the timber staircase was salvaged from Perth’s Majestic Hotel. At the rear of the main residence is a two-storey second house, converted from former stables. Stables are not shown on a 1908 sewerage plan and there are no substantial outbuildings on a 1913 PWD plan. A planning application was approved in 1990 to make extensions to the stables. Plans and photographs at the time show the stables across the whole of the rear of the lot, with a collection of several almost-flat corrugated iron rooves. A U-shaped stonewall section at the southwest corner has corrugated iron cladding and louvres enclosing the open north side. A carport is attached to the east, with a second L-shaped stone wall along the east boundary and making a small portion of the north elevation. The applicant claims a small stone room for a stable boy was formerly within the carport section and has been removed. 2007 and 2008 real estate photographs of the property show only a portion of the converted stables, but they appear to be substantially modified with little evidence of their earlier function. The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape of Lefroy Road; 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 38, 40, 47, 51, 53, 55 and the Norfolk Pines.

History

Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). In 1896, a bakehouse owned and occupied by McKenzie Brothers was listed at the rear of the property. The bakery had been built by Ken McKenzie from limestone on the block; one tunnel type brick oven was built of bricks. In 1900, a bakehouse and stables were listed in Russell Street (now Wesley Street) – this was the rear of what became 8 Lefroy Road. In the same year, two cottages were also listed on the lot. These were occupied by Ken and William McKenzie, bakers. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House, 8 Lefroy Road as vacant land. The bakehouse and stables mentioned above are clearly shown on the drawing. In 1919/20, Margaret McKenzie was listed as the owner of the bakehouse and stables. David Fletcher was listed as the occupant. David Fletcher had bought the bakery business in 1918 for ₤320 and paid rental for the bakery and house until he bought it in 1920/21 for ₤425. The Fletchers rented the house next door (#6 also owned by the McKenzies) until they had a brick house built in front of the bakery in 1926. In the same year, they bought an Overland car and made two delivery rounds a day. In 1930, extensions to the bakery were completed by W M Sloan. A new scotch oven installed. It held 360 2lb loaves (the old oven held 250). James and his brother Alex joined the business, which became Fletcher and Sons. In 1951, they bought a slicing machine and were the first bakery to slice and wrap bread in Fremantle. Major changes were made to the bakery under the direction of Claude Nicholas, an architect, in 1952. The old ovens were removed and new ovens installed. In 1964, McKenzie and Sons sold out to George Weston Foods (Tip Top Bakeries). At that time, in addition to their Lefroy Street bakery, Fletcher & Sons had 23 vans, a crumpet factory in a bakery they bought in Samson St, Beaconsfield in 1959, and were baking continental bread in another bakery in Taylor St, Hilton. The house was later used as the administrative offices of Little Angels Day Care Centre. Nothing remains of the bakery apart from a high limestone and brick wall that form the boundary to the adjacent lots.

History

Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 1 Lilly St had been built by 1900. In that year, it was described in the rate book as a cottage owned by Bethel Darbyshire and occupied by Richard Rennie. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a brick residence attached to a larger residence at 55 South Street (although both faced Lilly Street). House, 1 Lilly Street had full length front and rear verandahs. By 1912, the cottage had been bought by Frederick Jones, who owned it until c. 1930. Mr Jones rented it to tenants, as did the next owner, Rosetta Sunnucks. By 1952, ownership of House, 1 Lily Street had been transferred to Alice Sunnucks. Alice may have then married and remained in the house as c. 1955, the ownership was changed to Alice and Leopold Kenda. The Kendas owned the house until 1977, when it was sold to Judith Taylor (later Judith Cheers). Ms Cheers sold it to Geoffrey Kerr in 1979.
