History

Alfred Road developed between 1900 and 1920, with development on the southern side of the road, where houses were numbered consecutively on the same side of the street. Alfred Road displays a mix of duplex and single unit dwellings, some constructed of stone (those built c. 1900 – c. 1910) and others of weatherboard (those built c. 1910 – c. 1920). A number of the houses were built as investment (rental) properties. Duplex, 3-4 Alfred Road was constructed between 1900 and 1910. By 1921/22, the property was owned by Emmie Inglis, who also owned the adjacent property at No. 5. Ms Ingliss rented the place out to a number of tenants until she sold the property in the late 1920s. The place has had a number of owners since that time. Brick additions were made in 1960. The details of these are not known. A 1939 map shows 3-4 Alfred Road as a duplex pair, with front verandahs and large enclosed verandahs or lean-tos to the rear. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. 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.

Statement of Significance

House, 28 Bayly Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey cottage dating from the 1890s. The place had aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. Its streetscape no longer exists as all surrounding residential buildings have been demolished. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture. The place has significance for its location and rarity value as being the only remaining residential place in this area of North Fremantle. It was one of the many workers' cottages built as North Fremantle expanded and industrial employment and work on the wharves became available. Most of these small buildings have disappeared. The fact that this is the last house remaining in the street points to the demographic change that has since overtaken this part of the City. Its owner/occupant has resisted all attempts to remove her and remains in her house.

Physical Description

House, 28 Bayly Street, is a single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade designed as a very simple example of the Federation Queen Anne style. Walls are timber framed clad with weatherboards. Roof is hipped corrugated iron with no eaves. Verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof, supported by square timber posts with a simple timber valance. Front elevation is asymmetrical with a protruding section with a single timber sash window and a recessed section with window and front door. The verandah in front of the recessed section of the cottage. There is a timber and iron window hood over the front room window, and timber sash windows with sidelights to both front windows. Original rendered corbelled chimney is intact. There is a timber skillion addition to the rear, and a further fibro skillion addition. There is remnants of a former brick front fence. The house is the only remaining house in the area. It is surrounded by Port development and container storage areas.

History

Bayley Street was subdivided c. 1898 as a residential area for people working in the vicinity, but the land was not taken up until the 1910s and 1920s (slightly later than the subdivisions closer to Fremantle and the railway line). The area had a mix of residential and industrial uses during the 1940s, but it was the 1960s port expansion that significantly changed the area. The area was rezoned for port use in 1963 and most homes were purchased and then demolished by the Port Authority to create a solely industrial strip adjacent to Port Beach. Major realignment of the access roads to the beach and the railway line had a significant impact on the original layout of the area. Now located within the landholdings of the Port of Fremantle, the alignment of Bayley Street is a remnant of the original residential settlement of the present day (2004) industrial area. The weatherboard and iron cottage at 28 Bayley Street was built between 1897 and 1913 for an unidentified owner. The land had previously (in 1895) been part of a larger landholding, owned by James Graves and by prominent Western Australian, Alexander Forrest, for unrecorded purposes. The land was subdivided for settlement c. 1898. In 1924, a tenant occupied the five-roomed weatherboard house owned by Mary J. Henly. Between 1926 and 1935, the occupant was James Shelton. Records are not available for the period between 1935 and 1955. When records recommence in 1955, the owner and occupier was Cyril Edwards. In the same year the property was transferred to James and Eileen Mullally although other sources state it was transferred in 1958. Eileen Mullally continues to own and occupy the property in 2004. In 1940, the house had a front verandah and a weatherboard laundry, a shed in the back yard and an earth closet. Surrounding the cottage were many other homes of similar type, as well as a soap factory to the rear and south of the property. The property was not connected to mains sewerage and it was noted that it had a septic tank in 1954. In 1993, the front façade of the house was unmodified. This house is prominent as the only house remaining in the street. Demolition of the houses began in approximately 1967 after the rezoning of the area in 1963. Eileen Mullally has consistently refused all offers to move from her house and has vigorously campaigned against the Fremantle Port Authority by painting slogans on her house. These slogans and its isolation within the industrial strip make the house a landmark. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

Statement of Significance

Dedman Park is of social significance to the community of North Fremantle as an area of open space and for the activities that are held there. It has historic significance as the site of Chinese Market Gardens from 1898-1947.

Physical Description

Dedman Park is a green belt that runs from Thompson Road through to Stirling Highway. It is predominantly a grassed and treed park area. The bowling club is adjacent. The facilities include a play area with climbing and swinging equipment for children. There is a limestone and concrete ramp leading from Thompson Road to the park.

History

The portion of Stirling Highway to the north of Queen Victoria Street was originally part of Perth Road. The area developed with mixed residential, commercial and industrial uses from the 1860s following the construction of the North Fremantle Traffic Bridge and the upgrading of Perth Road by convicts. The portion of Stirling Highway to the south of Queen Victoria Street was formerly called Bruce Street and was widened and renamed following the completion of Stirling Bridge in 1974. In 2005, the highway continues to have a mix of uses. The area between Harvest Road and 16 Thompson Road, and from Stirling Highway on the west through to Thompson Road was the site of Chinese Gardens from 1898, with Lee Man listed as the market gardener at that time. The Chinese Gardens were there until circa 1947. Dedman Park was established c1948 on the site of a former Chinese market garden. The land was vested in the City of Fremantle in 1956 (Reserve 24352) and extended in 1985 (Reserve 39041). The Bowling Club was established in the 1960s and the site was extended in the 1980s to accommodate the community centre. The park is named for Gordon F. Dedman, who was a Councillor for North Fremantle 1936-1948 and Mayor of Fremantle 1948-1950. This place has been identified in 'Fremantle's Landscape: A Study for the Municipal Inventory' as being of cultural heritage significance'. It was also included in the "North Fremantle Heritage Study", prepared by Craig Burton, for the City of Fremantle, June 1994.

Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 10 Burns Street, is a single storey limestone and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade designed with elements of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Walls are limestone with face brick quoins and reveals. Roof is gabled corrugated iron with no eaves. There is a timber finial to the gable. The verandah is under a separate bull nosed corrugated iron roof, supported by turned timber posts. Front elevation is asymmetrical with a single timber sash window and a front door. There is a high level rendered brick wall to the front boundary and two tall brick and rendered corbelled chimneys.

History

Burns Street is a narrow residential street that bisects the triangle defined by Stirling Highway, Queen Victoria Street and the Swan River. The portion south of Tydeman Road was constructed in the 1990s and took its name from the existing road north of Tydeman Road. This section of Burns Street was originally part of a six-acre landholding (Lots 18 and 19) held by Mrs Andrew Burns in 1895. The land was subdivided for residential settlement in 1896 and Burns Road was gazetted the same year in honour of the original land owner. Although the street was still not constructed, buildings were present on the site in 1897. The street first appears on a map dated circa 1906. Buildings constructed in Burns Street were single storey basic homes of brick, stone or weatherboard for people who worked in the vicinity. Many of the houses in Burns Street were investment properties leased to tenants. In 2004, Burns Street continues to be a residential street and the modest workers cottages are the dominant buildings in the street. At the north eastern end of Burns Street is the former ‘Weeties’ factory (which faces Harvest Road), a source of employment for local residents for many years. A brick and stone house was built at 10 Burns Street between 1904 and 1907 for an unidentified owner. In 1921, the house was noted as a four-room stone house owned by Thomas Wildman. The property was leased to a series of tenants until 1964 when it was transferred to new owner, Ronald Black. Black also leased the property to tenants until 1972. A couple purchased the property in 1972 and were the first owners to occupy the property since records commence in 1921. Subsequent owners have all occupied the property. By 1940, the place had a verandah across the rear of the building and a rainwater tank, washhouse and water closet occupied the rear of the property. An extension to the rear of the house was completed in 1980. This comprised a new kitchen, bathroom and living area. A high wall was built along the front fence line at this time. This place was 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. It was also included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

Front elevation is symmetrical with a double timber sash window and a front door to each side. There is a timber picket fence running along the front boundary line.

History

Burns Street is a narrow residential street that bisects the triangle defined by Stirling Highway, Queen Victoria Street and the Swan River. The portion south of Tydeman Road was constructed in the 1990s and took its name from the existing road north of Tydeman Road. This section of Burns Street was originally part of a six-acre landholding (Lots 18 and 19) held by Mrs Andrew Burns in 1895. The land was subdivided for residential settlement in 1896 and Burns Road was gazetted the same year in honour of the original land owner. Although the street was still not constructed, buildings were present on the site in 1897. The street first appears on a map dated circa 1906. Buildings constructed in Burns Street were single storey basic homes of brick, stone or weatherboard for people who worked in the vicinity. Many of the houses in Burns Street were investment properties leased to tenants. In 2004, Burns Street continues to be a residential street and the modest workers cottages are the dominant buildings in the street. At the north eastern end of Burns Street is the former ‘Weeties’ factory (which faces Harvest Road), a source of employment for local residents for many years. A brick, stone and iron duplex building was constructed at 11-13 Burns Street between 1896 and 1913 for an unidentified owner. It is possible that the duplex was built by 1897, as a plan drawn at that time shows the existence of a building close to this site however it is not possible to conclusively demonstrate that this is the existing cottage. In 1921, the building was owned by Ellen Cameron and leased to tenant Sydney Garner. In 1923, the property was transferred to N S Clarke and by the late 1920s, the property was owned by H C Clarke. Clarke retained ownership until 1935 and while various tenants occupied number 11, Sydney and Annie Garner continued to occupy number 13 throughout this period. Between 1955 and 1961 the property was jointly owned by Markella and Charalambos Carpathakis and was occupied by them. By 1940, both sides of Duplex, 11-13 Burns Street had weatherboard additions to the rear of the property with galvanised iron structures at the rear of the blocks. The building was connected to the mains sewerage system in 1954. Sometime before 1979, the front was removed and replaced with a flat roof and slim metal pillars. A front fence of brick pillars and metal design was evident at this time. In 1995, the place underwent major renovations including the addition of a bull nosed veranda with timber posts. New bathrooms and laundries were added to the rear of both residences. The building was also reroofed at this time. This place was 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. It was also included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

Statement of Significance

Terrace, 12-16 Burns Street is a typical brick and iron single storey terraced residence dating from the 1890s. 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 North Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The place has rarity value as being a group of three semi-detached residences with a high degree of integrity and authenticity.

Physical Description

Terrace 12-16 Burns Street is a row of three attached single storey brick and iron cottages designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The three cottages are sited at 45 degrees to the street and are staggered along the street. All have tuckpointed red face brick walls. The roofs are hipped corrugated iron with no eaves and dividing parapet walls. Each has a rendered chimney with rendered corbelling. The verandahs are under separate bullnosed corrugated iron roofs and are supported by decorative timber posts with decorative timber brackets. Each front elevation has a timber sash window and a front door. There are steel post and wire mesh fences to the front boundary line.

At the north eastern end of Burns Street is the former ‘Weeties’ factory (which faces Harvest Road), a source of employment for local residents for many years. A brick Terrace was constructed at 12 to 16 Burns Street for James Pearse, a boot manufacturer, circa 1897. James Pearse was a prominent local businessman whose shoe manufacturing business evolved to be a major company in Western Australia and was later known as Pearse and Swan. Pearse served as a councillor in the North Ward of the Fremantle Council and was also Mayor of North Fremantle after it became a separate municipality. The Terrace in Burns Street was one of a number of investment properties for Pearse and following his death, his family retained ownership of the property until at least 1935. Long-term tenants were Charles Rule (number 12) and Frederick Morley (number 16) who occupied two of the residences between 1921 and 1935. By 1955 the Pearse Brothers Company had sold the building to Arthur Turton and his family retained ownership of the building until 1964. At this time the property transferred to the Karpathakis family. (It is probable that the same family owned 11-13 Burns Street). By 1940, the rear of each of the three units had developed slightly differently. Number 14 was slightly narrower with a pathway visible along the boundary, while numbers number 12 and 16 had verandas at the rear. All the homes had a water tank, a washhouse and water closet on the rear boundary with access via a laneway alongside number 16. The building was connected to the mains sewerage system in 1950. By 1979, the front verandahs of all the units were partially enclosed. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - PURPLE - of architectural and historic significance in its own right. It was also included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in March 2010 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for the proposed demolition of the existing outbuildings to facilitate the single storey additions at the rear.

Many of the houses in Burns Street were investment properties leased to tenants. In 2004, Burns Street continues to be a residential street and the modest workers cottages are the dominant buildings in the street. At the north eastern end of Burns Street is the former ‘Weeties’ factory (which faces Harvest Road), a source of employment for local residents for many years. The weatherboard and iron cottage at 19 Burns Street was between 1897 and 1913. It is possible that this cottage was one of the first in Burns Street as a plan drawn in 1897 shows a building on the approximate location of this cottage (although it could be Number 21). By 1921, the cottage was owned by Alice Malone and occupied by John Malone. This continued until approximately 1928 when Alice Malone is recorded as the occupier of the cottage. She continued to own and occupy the place until at least 1961. In 1940, the place had verandahs at the front and back with a large weatherboard structure along the rear boundary. A tank stand was also located adjacent to the building. By 1979, the front verandah had been partially enclosed with fibro sheeting and a cyclone wire mesh fence marked the front boundary of the property. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle") This place was also included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

History

Burns Street is a narrow residential street that bisects the triangle defined by Stirling Highway, Queen Victoria Street and the Swan River. The portion south of Tydeman Road was constructed in the 1990s and took its name from the existing road north of Tydeman Road. This section of Burns Street was originally part of a six-acre landholding (Lots 18 and 19) held by Mrs Andrew Burns in 1895. The land was subdivided for residential settlement in 1896 and Burns Road was gazetted the same year in honour of the original land owner. Although the street was still not constructed, buildings were present on the site in 1897. The street first appears on a map dated circa 1906.

By 1921, the property was owned by Walter Jeans who leased the cottage to tenant, Stanley Kent. Jeans owned the property until at least 1935, and leased it to various tenants. Records of ownership are not available for the period 1935 to 1955. From 1955 to 1961, the cottage was owned and occupied by Arimathera Murphy. In 1940, the cottage retained its basic original form. At this time, there was a timber structure on the rear boundary and a water closet the northeast corner. The cottage was connected to the mains sewerage system in 1950. By 1979, the front verandah of the cottage had been partially enclosed. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance.

The stone and iron house at 23 Burns Street was built between 1896 and 1912 for an unidentified owner. Bertha Anderson owned the five-roomed cottage between 1921 and 1926. The place was transferred briefly to another owner in 1926/27, before it passed to Olive Maud Smith. Ms Smith owned the property until 1984 and leased it out to a number of tenants, including William Hill, a wicker worker (1928-31), until 1968, when she moved into the property herself. In 1940 the place retained its original form and had a timber structure and water closet at the rear. The property was sewered in 1952. By 1979, portion of the front verandah had been enclosed with louvers and fibro sheeting. At this time, a cyclone wire fence marked the front boundary of the property. By 1994, the place had undergone renovations revealing the front verandah and the installation of a picket fence on the boundary.
