Statement of Significance

House, 18 Scott Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from 1927. 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.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1927 with a two storey addition to the rear. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with tiles. The half verandah is under a continuous tiled roof with square timber posts on rendered masonry piers. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window and tiled awning over. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a brick fence to the front boundary and a garden area behind.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 18 Scott Street was built in 1927. In 1934/35, John Doherty was listed as the owner and occupier. Mr Doherty retained ownership until his death in 1977. The house was subsequently purchased from his estate by Colin Barron and has had a number of owners since c. 1990. House, 18 Scott Street is shown on a 1954 diagram as a brick house with a verandah to the side. The plan form is quite unusual for South Fremantle. Extensive paving led from the street down the side and around the back of the house, linking with the front and back doors and an asbestos building in the backyard (perhaps the garage). Significant additions were made to the rear of the house c. 1994. The extensions were designed by Darren Miller and they won a 1994 Building Design Association of Australia Award. 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.

House, 2 Scott Street, is an altered weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1940. 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 Inter War California Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1940 with two storey addition to the rear. The walls are painted weatherboard.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. In 1939, Rosetta Linney submitted plans for a house on Lot 36, to be built by Victor Dowd of East Fremantle. It must have taken a couple of years to complete the house, as it does not appear in the rate books until 1941/42. The plans indicate that it was a two bedroom asbestos and timber cottage, with a lounge, kitchen, hall, bathroom and water closet. A sleep-out and laundry were enclosed in part of the rear verandah. The plans also feature a leadlight panel in the front door framed by two piers of decorative brick features. There was also to be decorative brickwork below on front window, and on an end pillar. A loggia roof was over the front porch and the right front window. The front verandah was enclosed to half height. Frederick and Rosetta Linney owned and occupied the house until the early 1950s. Mr Linney was a waterside worker. It was then owned and occupied by John and Winifred Reynolds; then Albert and Janet Williams. A diagram dated 1954 shows the asbestos house as having a projecting room and half-length verandah at the front, and an asbestos sleep-out at the rear. Centrally located steps and path led from the street to the entrance. The diagram also shows an extensive trellis in the back yard and steps leading to a terrace level at the very rear of the yard. Janet Williams remained the owner until 1986 and House, 2 Scott Street has had a number of owners since that time. In 1994, the City of Fremantle received an application to demolish the house.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 20 Scott Street was built in 1918/10 for owner Horace Mews. In 1936, the property was owned by Elizabeth Weedon and occupied by Samuel Solomon. In 1948, it was owned and occupied by Gladys and Leon Poole. The Pooles retained ownership until 1993. A diagram dated 1954 shows a small weatherboard house with weatherboard rooms either side of the front verandah. A separate weatherboard laundry was located in the backyard. Circa 1993, Alan Ross, an architect, prepared a report on the cottage. The report proposed that the existing house and outbuildings be demolished. This was subsequently carried out and a new double-storey limestone and brick residence built in its place. 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.

House, 22 Scott Street, is a rare limestone and iron two storey house dating from 1898. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Built for prominent local pharmacist, Richard Birch, the house is a rare example of a double storey residence in South Fremantle.

Physical Description

Two storey limestone, brick and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1898. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof hipped with verandah overhangs and clad with corrugated iron. The two storey verandah is under a broken back corrugated iron roof with square timber posts and continues around the side of the house. Under the verandah is the front door and timber framed windows. There is a rendered brick and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 22 Scott Street was built as a ‘dwelling of seven rooms’ in 1898 for Richard Birch, a chemist. At this time, Richard and his wife Eliza had 10 children. The youngest was 10, the oldest 22. In addition to having chemist businesses in Perth and Fremantle alone and in partnership between c. 1870 and 1910, Richard Birch also served as the dispensing chemist on Rottnest Island. Mr Birch was a member of the first Pharmaceutical Council, a member of the Rechabite Lodge and was secretary of the Good Templars Lodge No. 5. By 1920/21, the house was owned by Duncan McLarty and occupied by Mary Mountain. This remained the situation through to the early 1930s. In 1940/41, House, 22 Scott Street was owned and occupied by Sarah Nicol. Ten years later, it was owned and occupied by William and Helen Moloney. The house had been significantly altered by 1954. The verandahs of the double storey house were fully enclosed at both levels and an asbestos addition was located down the side of the house. A photograph dated 1975 shows that the façade had been rendered. By 1993, substantial renovations had been completed to reveal the original stone house with brick quoins. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. Duplex, 25N Scott Street was built in 1903/04 for Gus Hassey, a labourer. (This is likely to be the same owner of 23 Scott Street, although his name was spelt Hassy in that entry.) It was built as a semi-detached cottage adjacent to an existing cottage (27 Scott Street) that had been built in 1901/02. Between c. 1920 and c. 1930, the house was owned by Bridget Fahey and occupied by Peter Graham. Ms Fahey moved into the house herself in the early 1930s and lived there until at least the early 1950s. By 1978, the duplex’s partner had been demolished. A two storey brick house was built in its place. In 1983, the City of Fremantle received an application for an extension to the rear comprising a kitchen/meals area, laundry, utility room and bathroom.

In 1903/04, a semi-detached cottage was built alongside this cottage for Gustav Hassey, a labourer. Pilling retained ownership of the duplex half until at his death in 1925/26. It was then owned by his widow, Annie, until c. 1935, when it was purchased and occupied by Dorothy Read. Ms Read retained ownership until 1956/57, when it was purchased by Nicola and Luisa De Rosa. The De Rosas retained ownership until at least 1974. The duplex half was demolished c. 1984 and in 1996, the City of Fremantle received an application for a new two storey residence on the vacant land.

RECOMMENDED FOR DELETION 2010 - Below Threshold

Physical Description

House, 28 Scott Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and zincalume house originally designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with zincalume. There are extant timber framed double hung sash windows under the L-shaped verandah, which has a separate bull nose roof. A replacement roof and possible rear additions has allowed for a carport under the main roofline. There is a rendered wall to the front boundary line which prevents further description of the front elevation.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. A cottage was built on this site in 1901 for George Arthur McKim, confectioner. From the following year, rate books record McKim’s property as ‘cottage and small factory’. In 1903 a shed was built on the adjacent lot, which begins to be rated as a factory in 1904 and from 1908-09 the two lots are each noted ‘part factory’, one lot also having a residence and the other stables. McKim continued to own and occupy the place, living at the residence as well as working at the place. It is presumed that the factory produced confectionary, as McKim continues to be listed with this occupation. By 1918-19 the place was owned by Western Stock, Station & Trading Co and no factory is listed, but McKim continued to occupy the place. However, by 1920 the place was owned and occupied by Thomas Samuel Carruthers. Stables continued to be noted into the 1950s. A new residence is believed to have been built on the site of the stables in 1982.

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. Between 1902 and c. 1917 George McKim operated a confectionary factory on this site. For a time, the factory was part owned by Mills and Ware.

Physical Description

Single storey limestone and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under separate iron roof with turned timber posts and decorative brackets. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 30 Scott Street was built in 1901/02 for George McKim, a carpenter. In 1902/03, the rate book records a cottage and small factory on the lot (Lot 17) owned and occupied by George McKim, confectioner (McKim having changed his career path). F W Hart purchased the adjacent lot (Lot 16) in 1902/03 and built an iron shed. McKim and Hart appear to have entered a partnership. In 1904/05, a factory, office and shed were listed on Lot 16; a cottage on Lot 17. By 1905/06, the factory straddled the two lots. In that year, McKim owned Lot 17 - cottage, part factory, office, sheds and stables. George Bray owned Lot 16 – sheds and part factory. McKim is listed as the only occupant. This situation continued until 1908/09, when William Mills bought into the business by buying Lot 16. In 1914 to 1916, Mills and Ware were listed as the owners of stables and part factory (Lot 16) and George McKim as the owner of Lot 17 (cottage and part factory). In 1917/18, George McKim owned both lots, then described as ‘cottage and lot’, suggesting that the confectionary business had been wound up. The property was purchased by T S Carruthers in 1919/20 and by 1930/31, then was owned and occupied by horse trainer, David Oates. It was owned by T A Mullins for a short time in the mid-1930s, before being purchased by L S Thomas. House, 30 Scott Street was a rental house for much of this time. In 1950/51, the house was owned and occupied by C T Burns. It was then listed as residence and stables. Mr Burns was still living there until 1980 (still listed as residence and stables), when the property was purchased by George Waring. A diagram dated 1954 shows a stone house with a full length front verandah. It is noted that a cellar was located at the front of the house. At the rear was a weatherboard room and verandah. A path led from the street to the front door; a branch led down the side of the house to the back yard where a separate asbestos building was located. The stables, horse enclosures and a long weatherboard building with verandah are also shown on this plan. 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) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

Statement of Significance

Wool Stores (former), 31 Scott Street, has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area and its strong landmark qualities. It is one of the few industrial buildings that remain and is an example of the adaptive reuse of such buildings for contemporary urban residences.

Physical Description

Single storey brick and iron former woolstores converted to residences. The walls are face brick. The roof gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The front wall is located close to the front boundary. Brick paved parking areas are in front of the building. A brick and metal fence is located on the front boundary.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. In 1905, there was a cottage on Lot 29, which at the time was owned by Annie Wisbey and occupied by Augustus Quayle. Lot 30 was vacant land owned by Clarence Lee. By 1912/13, an office, warehouse and cottage had been built on the lots, owned by WA Wool and Skin Company. This continued to be the situation until c. 1920, when the warehouse and cottage were listed as being owned and occupied by Haughton and William. In 1929/30, the office and warehouse were listed as being owned by William Haughton & Co and occupied by WA Woolscouring Co. During World War II, the woolstore was occupied by the US Navy. In 1951/52, the store was owned by G L Davison and occupied by Sumpton & Sons. A diagram dated 1954 shows a large ‘wool store’ of roughly square plan. The only feature noted is a bitumen drive off Scott Street. Between 1979 and c. 1990, the property was owned by John Georgeson. Georgeson traded as JN & JE Georgeson, Wool Buyers and Merchants. In 1990, the City of Fremantle received a proposal to convert the old woolstores into three, single-storey grouped dwellings and one new two-storey grouped dwelling at the rear. The proposal was designed by architect Brian Klopper and retained the exterior of the woolstore. The conversion to three residences was achieved through internal redevelopment.

Statement of Significance

House, 35 Scott Street, a single storey house constructed dating from 1920 with timber framing and weatherboard cladding and a corrugated iron clad roof has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value as a typical example of an Inter-War Bungalow that contributes to the quality of its setting along Scott Street 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, and; it is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area.

Physical Description

Scott Street runs in a westerly direction from Marine Terrace through to Hale Street towards the east. 35 Scott Street is located in the portion between Parmelia Street and Chester and on the southern side of Scott Street. The streetscape comprises predominantly of single storey houses built in the early twentieth century and some more recent development. The streetscape has wide verges and comprises predominantly of single storey houses built in the first half of the twentieth century and some more recent two storey development, particularly on the western side of Daly Street. The single storey weatherboard and iron cottage has an asymmetrical facade and was constructed c1920. The timber framed walls are clad with painted weatherboard. The hipped and gabled roof has no eaves and is clad with corrugated iron. There is a brick chimney with a dog tooth course extant. The half verandah is under continuous iron roof with square timber posts and returns on the eastern side. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room that has a timber framed double hung sash window and a corrugated iron awning over. Under the verandah is the timber panelled front door and another timber framed double hung sash window. There is a timber and mesh link fence to the front boundary and a small native garden area behind. The rear of the site has a concrete slab (from previous development approval), a timber framed and fibrous cement and timber clad WC, a shed and Colorbond clad (not original) laundry and as well as a cubby house, mature Japanese Pepper (Scinus terebinthifolius) and various landscaping. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Sept 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed demolition of timber framed outbuildings to facilitate single storey additions and alterations to the existing house.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 35 Scott Street was built in 1920/21 for Amelia Armstrong. Amelia and James Armstrong continued to own the house until the early 1950s. It was then owned by their son, Walter, until his death in 1991. A diagram dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house with a half-length front verandah wrapping around one side. The house had a small rear verandah and paths linked the house with the street, as well as various outbuildings in the backyard. A photograph dated 1979 shows a weatherboard and corrugated iron house in poor condition. Works completed by 1993 significantly improved the exterior appearance of the house. Further work was carried out c. 1996 and the owners received a Fremantle Award in 1996 - Winner in the Heritage Category. 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. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Sept 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed demolition of timber framed outbuildings to facilitate single storey additions and alterations to the existing house.

House, 36 Scott Street, a single storey house constructed dating from the early twentieth century with timber framing and weatherboard cladding and a hipped and gabled roof has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value as a typical example of an Federation Bungalow that contributes to the quality of its setting along Scott Street 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, and; it is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The skillion roof additions at the rear and the front fence are of little significance.

Physical Description

Scott Street runs in a westerly direction from Marine Terrace through to Hale Street towards the east. 36 Scott Street is located in the portion between Parmelia Street and Chester and on the northern side of Scott Street. The streetscape comprises predominantly of single storey houses built in the early twentieth century and some more recent development. The single storey weatherboard and tile cottage has an asymmetrical facade and was constructed within the first decades of the twentieth century. The historical information held on the Municipal Heritage Inventory dates construction as 1920, but the physical evidence shows that the house appears to have been built prior to this date. The walls are timber framed and painted weatherboard. There is a gabled roof gabled with no eaves and clad with tiles which are not original. The half verandah is under continuous tiled roof with timber posts. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a rendered masonry and metal fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Oct 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed two storey additions and alterations to the existing house.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 36 Scott Street was built between 1915 and 1920. In 1919/20, Alfred Thomas was listed as the owner of the cottage. Thomas continued to own and reside in the house until c. 1930, when it was bought by Agnes and William Dewhurst. In 1929/30, the improvements on the lots (35 and 36) were described as ‘residence’ and ‘shed’. Between c. 1935 and the late 1950s, the property was owned and occupied by Evan Davies. It was then sold to Edward and Margaret Jackson, who retained ownership until the mid-1960s. House, 36 Scott Street has had a number of owners since that time. A diagram dated 1954 shows an asbestos house with a half length front verandah and projecting front room. The adjacent lot (34 Scott Street) appears to have been used in association with the house. It contained a small stable building at this time. 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.

Physical Description

Historic building / structures demolished.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 8 Scott Street was built in 1899 for Thomas Webb, a shipwright. Mr Webb lived in the house until at least 1914. It was then owned and occupied by William Urquhart. The Urquhart family retained ownership until the early 1970s, when it was purchased by Mabel Done. An extension to the front room was completed in 1934. A plan dated 1954 shows House, 8 Scott Street as a weatherboard house with an asbestos sleep-out at the rear. The 1934 extension to the front room is clearly shown on the diagram and the house did not have any front verandah at this time. A curved path led from the corner of the block to the front door. Another path at the rear linked the back door with an asbestos outbuilding. In 1992, plans were submitted to the City of Fremantle for a new residence. The existing house was demolished and an archival record was deposited in the Fremantle Local History Collection. 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.
