Statement of Significance

Social significance to the local community as a venue for recreational and community pursuits.

Physical Description

Comprises of two single storey timber framed halls, clad with corrugated metal to dado and fibrous cement sheeting above.There are corrugated iron clad gabled rooves. The main hall (closest to Stevens Street) features ‘Sullivan Hall’ on the gable of the north elevation. The lesser hall (facing Nannine Street) has limestone foundations.

History

A parent group in the area began meeting in April 1958 to call for a local community hall to be built. Council allocated the land, which it had acquired from the Anglican Church in 1945, and the community set about acquiring materials. The main frame is believed by locals to be a reused army shed. Sullivan Hall was constructed by the local community and opened in October 1959 as a Guide Hall. It was named after Jim Sullivan, as a thank you to both the Sullivan and Notley families, who had supported the building project. Guides and Brownies met at the hall, and it was also widely used for concerts and dances. In 1962, a second half to the hall was completed. Local community members subscribed ten shillings a piece towards its construction. The place was managed and cleaned by volunteers and all profits went back into its maintenance. White Gum Valley Square Dance Club was formed, which used the hall from the early 1960s into the 1990s. A second hall, adjacent to Sullivan Hall, wa

History

The Land was owned by Charles McCay, a carrier. The rates records indicate a three -roomed cottage on the block in 1898. The existing cottage is believed to have been constructed c.1895 as a two-roomed cottage in the goldfields of WA. The cottage was apparently moved c.1897 by horse and dray to its present location, probably by Charles McCay. An additional room was added, thus accounting for the rates entry. This information has been passed from one owner to the next. The cottage has only had four owners since its relocation in Pilbarra Street. The Peacock family purchased the cottage from Charles McCay c.1904 and owned it for a considerable length of time. This place was included on the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80. This place received a Fremantle Award in 1996 - Winner in the Heritage Category.

Statement of Significance

House, 117 Samson Street, is a single storey timber and iron house dating from c1916. 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 Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

House, 117 Samson Street is a single storey weatherboard and corrugated iron house dating from the early decades of the twentieth century. The roof is hipped and clad in Zincalume, and breaks pitch at the verandah along the front. The walls are painted weatherboard to the front, with the right side clad in Colorbond. The left side has a flat roofed garage attached, made of weatherboard with a roller door and a single door entry. There is a central door, flanked by leadlight windows; a large fixed pane with casements either side. The verandah roof is supported by square posts with timber brackets with carved detailing. The verandah floor is at ground level and consists of brick paving. The front boundary fence is limestone block and face brick edging, with steel picket inserts.

History

In 1916, the Post Office Directories lists five individuals living along Samson Street between Taylor and Nannine Streets, but they are not numbered. Given its physical appearance and style, No. 117 is likely to be one of these early houses. The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows No 117 on the lot, and vacant land around. (The only other houses in this block between Nannine Street and Yalgoo Avenue at that time were Nos. 99, 101 and 109). The 1949 sewerage map (No. 2191) shows a weatherboard house in rectangular formation, with a verandah that extends along the front. The house sits to the west side of the lot, which was double in size (now divided into another lot for the house at No 119). There was a well located in the middle of the double sized lot. Aerial photos (Landgate) show that in the c1983 there was a narrow verandah roof added along the rear, and a backyard pool. By 1995 there was a substantial rear and side addition to the roof, but the original formation of the house remained the same. In early 2004 the tiled roof was replaced with corrugated iron, and there was an extended hipped section added to the rear at right angles to the original. From the street, however, the house appears as it would have been built in c1916. This place was added to the Heritage List and the Municipal Heritage Inventory on 10 January 2018.

It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

House, 121 Samson Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed c1916. The walls are timber framed and clad with indented profile painted timber boards. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with iron. The gable has simple timber vertical battens. There is a red brick corbelled chimney evident. The verandah is supported by stop chamfered timber posts and has a vertical slats timber frieze. The asymmetrical front façade has a protruding front room under the gable roof with a timber framed double hung sash window and no awning. Under the half-length verandah is a door and another timber sash window. The end of the verandah and the side along Yalgoo Avenue, incorporating additions to the rear, have been enclosed with a different profile weatherboard, and aluminium windows. A painted brick wall forms the front boundary, with corrugated asbestos fencing along Yalgoo Avenue.

History

Lot 15 of 38 was a vacant lot owned by W H Llewellyn in 1908-09. In 1916, the Post Office Directories lists five individuals living along Samson Street between Taylor and Nannine Streets, but they are not numbered. Given its physical appearance and style, No. 121 is likely to be one of these early houses. The 1918-19 rate books record a cottage built on the property with Glen Henry Herbert as the new owner. In PO Directories, he is listed as Henry G Herbert, at Stokes Street (possibly because it was the only house on that part of Samson Street, and Stokes Street is the closest cross street). Duncan McColl was a resident in the 1920s, followed by G Luff who lived there in the early 1930s. J McIvor owned and lived in the house in 1938 (an asterix next to the resident’s name in the directory at this time indicated ownership), and in 1949, Mrs Janet McIvor was still residing there. The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows the house on the corner. There is a large lot adjacent with one house on the east side, but no other houses to the west or on the opposite side of the road, again indicating this is one of the earliest houses in the immediate area. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows 121 Samson Street as a small weatherboard house with an asymmetrical frontage and a verandah that wrapped around to Yalgoo Avenue and the south side. There were several outbuildings to the rear of the house, and a well in the south west corner of the lot. Aerial photos (Landgate) show that between 1985 and 1995 the roof line of 121 Samson Street was altered and extended to its current (2016) form. This place was added to the Heritage List and the Municipal Heritage Inventory on 10 January 2018.

House, 123 Samson Street, is a single storey timber and iron house dating from c1960. The place makes a contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle and is a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

House, 123 Samson Street is a single storey masonry and tile house constructed c1960. The roof is hipped and tiled. The walls are painted render. There is a curved flat verandah roof to the right side, with pairs of slim lined steel verandah poles and a concrete verandah floor. There are timber framed casement windows either side of a fixed pane window under the verandah.

History

Harry McClumpha, who lived at (Lot 20) 125 Samson Street from 1905, also owned adjacent lots 18 and 19 in 1934-35. Lot 19 is now Lot 39, the location of 123 Samson Street. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows a vacant lot on the corner of Stokes and Samson Streets. The 1953 aerial photograph (Landgate) still shows a vacant lot, with a walking track cutting through it diagonally from Stokes to Samson Streets, but by 1965, No 123 has been built. It therefore dates as a circa 1960 construction. Aerial photos (Landgate) show that the roof was extended to the east for a garage in 2003, with large extensions to the rear in 2013; largely altering the size of the house and its original roof form.

Physical Description

House, 125 Samson Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed c1960. The walls are timber framed and clad with painted timber boards to dado height, with fibrous cement sheeting above. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with Zincalume. There are several pairs of timber framed sash windows. The garage is under the main roof, with timber double doors and glazing to the top section. There is a low timber picket fence to the front boundary line with painted brick piers.

History

In 1916, the Post Office Directories lists (for the first time) four houses along Samson Street between Taylor and Nannine Streets (most likely Nos. 99 (no longer extant), 117, 121 and 125 (an earlier house than this). Rate books show that Lot 40 of 38 (was lot 20 of 38) was vacant land owned by G F Gallop and W A Fearn in 1904-05. By 1905-06 a cottage had been built for Harry McClumpha, a tinsmith, who continued to be owner/occupier until at least 1949 when directory records cease (occupation listed as a plumber from 1945). The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows the house on this lot, with scrubland either side. There are also no houses opposite. The 1950 sewerage map (No. 2190) shows a long narrow weatherboard house with an iron roofed verandah to the front, and an asbestos outbuilding to the rear. From the 1965 aerial photograph (Landgate) it appears No 125 has been rebuilt, as its footprint is slightly larger and more square. A garage has also been built to the rear of the driveway. The current house is therefore estimated to have a construction dated c1960. Its fibrous cement materials support this. The roof has been replaced since 1965; date unknown.
