History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. The brick residence at 17 Harvest Road appears on the 1939 sewerage plan, sited close to the road. The residence was constructed between 1936 and 1941. 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.

Statement of Significance

Hillcrest, comprising the original Hillcrest residence, a two storey stucco and tile Victorian Italianate style building of the Federation period, together with a two storey brick and asbestos former maternity hospital in the post World War Two International Style, a hostel constructed in brick and asbestos cement in the post World War Two Perth Regional style, and early Norfolk Island Pines, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: The place is a very fine example of a Victorian Italianate style residence with a sympathetic 1934 addition in a matching style; Albeit altered through time to serve alternate uses, the place demonstrates the distinctive accommodation and way of live of the mercantile elite in the early twentieth century, having been built in 1901 for Francis Pearse as a large suburban residence with marine views to the Swan River and Indian Ocean; The place was converted to a maternity hospital for unmarried mothers in 1922 following its donation to the salvation Army by Francis Pearse’s widow Emma, and this use continued for over 50 years, as well as midwife training; and, The place has served as part of a Salvation Army aged care facility since 1978. The 1979 hostel and the 1979 dining room building are aesthetically unsympathetic additions and do not contribute to the cultural heritage significance of the place. The 1958 Wing is of little significance.

Physical Description

Refer to Heritage Council of Western Australia's Register of Heritage Places - Register and Assessment Documentation.

Hillcrest was constructed in 1904 for Francis Pearse, of the prominent Pearse family, and occupied by him from its construction until his death. Francis Pearse earned his fortune as a young man through business interests in Dongara. He was a one of five sons of prominent early Fremantle resident William Pearse. Together with two of his brothers, Pearse established and managed the Pearse Brothers Tannery and Boot Factory in North Fremantle, which operated from 1871 until 1962, when it was demolished. Hillcrest was as an imposing two-storey mansion overlooking the Swan River, located in extensive grounds that ran the length of Helen Street between Harvest Road and John Street. It was constructed to face Helen Street and had substantial outbuildings in the grounds towards Harvest Road, which remained until at least 1939. In 1922, Hillcrest was donated to the Salvation Army by Francis’ widow, apparently at his request. It was first used as a maternity hospital, which also served as a training hospital, and later converted for use as an elderly care facility. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

Arthur had been a hardware salesman in Fremantle in the 1890s for Union Stores. He was a prominent public figure in North Fremantle, serving as a Councillor from 1928, and was mayor of North Fremantle from 1932 until 1945. He was apparently popular as mayor, at least in his early years, as it is recorded that when he looked like resigning in 1934 local residents came in droves to Turton House to petition him to stay on. Arthur Turton lived at Turton House until at least 1949. During World War II, Turton was a central place for the war effort assisting Australian servicemen overseas. In 1995, Gwen Evelyn Turton (either a daughter or daughter-in-law to Arthur and Jessie May Turton) died. She appears to have lived a significant portion of her life at Harvest Road, presumably at Turton House. She was honoured in 1989 for 50 years’ voluntary service to the Red Cross. The house was registered by the National Trust in 1980, at which time it was noted that the original turreted roof features were no longer in place. In 1981 a newspaper article records it having been purchased by Craig Bond, son of Perth businessman Alan Bond, and photographs show a turret in place. The house appears to have changed hands several times in the 1980s, at which time extensive additions were made to the rear (south) of the house. These additions were made in a sympathetic style to the original. In March 2016 the house is up for Auction, and real estate ads describe it as a 4 bed, 1 bath home on 985 sq.m with an underground double garage accessed from Turton Street and a swimming pool. The floor plan shows the original house comprises a formal entry and passage way, with two rooms off to the left and three to the right. The first room on the right of the entry (west) has a bay window feature that addresses the corner of the block. The floor plan shows that the large rear addition to the original house comprises a large open plan kitchen/dining and family room, a bedroom and large bathroom to the west side, with a verandah, and a laundry off the east side. A paved area and pool fills the remains of the block. It also appears that there is an addition on the west side of the original portion of the house which comprises a study and a dressing room. 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) - PURPLE -of architectural and historic significance in its own right.

Statement of Significance

House, 26 Harvest Road, is a typical stone and iron single storey cottage dating from the 1900s. 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. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area. The place is a very simple example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 26 Harvest Road, is a single storey stone and iron cottage with asymmetrical facade designed as a very simple example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture. Walls are limestone with brick quoins and reveals. Roof is hipped and gabled corrugated iron with no eaves. Gable end is limestone and has a timber finial. Verandah is under a separate bullnose corrugated iron roof supported by turned timber posts. Front elevation is asymmetrical with two timber sash windows with slightly arched brick lintel to the front protruding room and another window and front door under the verandah. The two tall rendered corbelled chimneys are intact. The house is set at an angle to the street behind a limestone and iron front fence.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. House, 26 Harvest Road was constructed in 1904 and occupied initially by James Murrie. Early occupants included Mrs E. Hicks (also Higgs) (1905-1907), Robert Gordon (1908-1911), Joseph Coombes, railway employee (1913-1918) Archibald Park (1920-21) and John Wauhop (1922-25). The high turn-over of occupants suggests the place was used for rental accommodation in this period. Rear additions and internal changes to the limestone cottage were approved in 1989, at which time the place was owned by Elizabeth J White. A weatherboard rear extension noted in 1989 had been constructed some time after 1939. The 1989 planning approval included retention of timber floors to the bathroom and laundry, with wet-area floorings installed over the top. 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) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

Constructed c.1892-93, this place was one of the first two permanent buildings erected on Harvest Road, noted in 1892 Rate Books as a 3-room cottage, with a carriage building and second 3-room cottage also on site from 1893. It cannot be determined whether 27 or 29 was constructed first, as both were built on portions of the same Lot for George Staples, whose occupation is recorded as ‘lumper’ in the Post Office Directories and ‘carrier’ on the Certificate of Title. In 1891, George Staples owned Lot 28, on which numbers 27 and 29 were constructed. He resided at 27 Harvest Road until 1900, after which he and his wife Margaret moved to 11 John Street. From 1901, the place was occupied by John Staples, who is likely to have been a son of George and Margaret. From 1902 to 1905 Frank Staples is listed at 27, with John not listed as resident in the street at all, and Mrs Mary Taylor appears to have rented a room at 27 Harvest Road from 1902-04. From 1905, Charles Posselt lived at the house for several years, possibly until 1914, although records are unclear. He then moved to 21 Harvest Road. From 1915 it appears that John Staples, previously resident at 29 Harvest Road, and owner of all of Lot 28, moved next door to 27, where he continues to be recorded well into the 1920s. The 1921 Rate Books note him living in a four-room stone cottage at 27 Harvest Road. He is listed at 27 Harvest Road in 1949 Post Office Directories, and it is likely that he lived at the place until his death in 1962. Following John’s death, House, 27 Harvest Road, which had been given a separate title to neighbouring 29 Harvest Road from 1954, was transferred in equal half-shares to his bachelor son, Ronald John Staples (clerk) and Della Mavis Davey (married woman). Ronald, born in 1910, lived his entire life on Harvest Road, aside from his 4 years in the RAAF during World War Two. He was a prominent North Fremantle figure, serving as a Councillor from 1940 to his death in 1973. The property changed hands a number of times before being purchased in 1975 by Roger Brian Bitton (Engineering Draftsman). In 1985 the title was amalgamated with that for adjacent 29 Harvest Road, in line with the original subdivision of Lot 28, and both 27 and 29 came into the ownership of Daphne Marie Tye, married woman, of Karratha. 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

House, 28 Harvest Road, is a modified stone, weatherboard and iron double storey cottage with tower dating from the 1900s. Notwithstanding it alterations and additions the place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of modified building stock located within the residential areas of North Fremantle. Historically significant as a modified representation of typical workers' houses in the North Fremantle area.

Physical Description

House, 28 Harvest Road, is a double storey stone, weatherboard and iron cottage with asymmetrical façade. This house has been substantially altered and extended. Originally a single storey dwelling, it is now a double storey dwelling with a three storey tower. Walls to the ground floor (original dwelling) are limestone with red brick quoins and reveals.The extended upper floors are timber framed and weatherboard clad. Roof is hipped and gabled corrugated iron with no eaves. The roof to the tower is also corrugated iron in a pyramidal form. Verandah is under separate bullnose corrugated iron roof and wraps around two sides of the building. Verandah is supported by turned timber posts. Sited on a corner block the house has two main elevations. The original front elevation faces Harvest Road. There is a rendered brick and iron fence to both street elevations.

Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area.

House, 28 Harvest Road was constructed in 1904 and initially occupied by Harry M Jackman. It may have replaced an earlier cottage, recorded as possibly dating from the 1880s, which had been demolished some time before 1897, as the Lot is shown as vacant land on an 1897 map. From its construction until 1920, when William Payne began living at the place, the occupancy of the place changed every year, with the exception of slightly longer residences of Frederick Grosse (1905-06), David McKinnon (1907-08) and John Herbert Kimber (1914-16). This suggests that the place was rented out during this period. From 1921 to 1935, 28 Harvest Road was owned by Emily Reay, although she does not appear to have lived at the place. From 1932 the house was occupied by Albert Leaver and his wife Thelma, who at some point prior to 1955 also became the owners. Albert was a mechanic and Thelma was noted for her involvement in the local Red Cross. A 1939 Sewerage plan shows the place as a 4-room brick and stone house with a tank stand, water closet and pond. The Leavers remained at the house until at least 1979. 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.

Constructed c.1892-93, this place was one of the first two permanent building erected on Harvest Road, noted in 1892 Rate Books as a 3-room cottage, with a carriage building and second 3-room cottage also on site from 1893. It cannot be determined whether 27 or 29 was constructed first, as both were built on portions of the same Lot for George Staples, whose occupation is recorded as ‘lumper’ in the Post Office Directories and ‘carrier’ on the Certificate of Title. In 1891, George Staples owned Lot 28, on which numbers 27 and 29 were constructed, and lived at 27 Harvest Road until 1900. From 1898 to 1954, John Edward Staples owned the portion of Lot 28 on which 29 Harvest Road is located (He retained ownership of the portion of Lot 28 in which 27 Harvest Road is located until his death in 1962). 29 Harvest Road appears to have been rented out, as the occupants changed every year or two. George Bishop was the longest-resident tenant in the early period, living at the place from 1902 to 1906, after which John Staples moved in. John is listed in 1901 as residing for a year at 27 Harvest Road, and then from 1902 to 1906, he is not shown in Post Office Directory listings for Harvest Road. From 1907 to 1914 John resided at House, 29 Harvest Road, after which he moved next door to 27, where he appears to have lived until his death in 1962. James D Gibbs is then recorded as tenant at 29 (1915-19), followed by William A. Lendon (1920-21) and then Joseph G Cassells from 1922 to at least 1925. By 1934 Frederick G White was living at the place, and it was recorded as a four-room timber house. Throughout the 1940s, John Dearle is listed as the tenant. In 1954, the portion of Lot 28 on which House, 29 Harvest Road is situated was sold on a separate title to Alma Ellen Bolitho (widow) and Joyce Queenie Richardson (married woman). Subsequent owners were Guiseppe Positana (labourer) and his wife Maria (1958-60), John Daniel Congear (1960-67) and John Musham (Butcher) and his wife Marie (1967-77). John Musham was declared bankrupt in 1969. From 1977, the property was transferred to Daphne Marie Musham, whose occupation is listed as ‘home duties’, and who lived at the place at the time she took ownership. In 1985 the title for 29 Harvest Road was re-amalgamated with that for adjacent 27 Harvest Road, and the entire of the original Lot 28 was transferred to Daphne Marie Tye (married woman), of Karratha, who is presumably the same Daphne Marie who had owned 29 Harvest Road from 1977.

House, 36 Harvest Road was constructed in 1904 for Peter Johnson, who lived there until 1912. After this, Mrs Mary A Johnson is recorded at the place until at least 1925. Peter Johnson worked from the 1890s at Rocky Bay Quarry, and lived for a time in North Fremantle’s ‘canvas town’. From 1916, Mary appears to have rented out a room to various members of the Charlton family. From 1916, the Charlton family appears as second occupant resident at the place. Richard B Charlton, teacher, is resident from 1916 to 1917, after which Leslie Charlton and his wife Ivy are listed. From the 1940s, Mrs Johnson is no longer listed at the place, but the Charltons remained until at least 1949. Les Charlton was a teacher at North Fremantle, and later in life served from 1949 to 1952 as mayor of North Fremantle. Ivy was keenly involved in the activities of St Mary’s Anglican Church, as well as being a Red Cross volunteer. 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) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. House, 38 Harvest Road was constructed c.1904 for Thomas W Taylor, town clerk for North Fremantle, who is shown as resident at the site from 1903. The following occupant, W.D. Evans, was also town clerk for North Fremantle, and lived at the place from 1906 to 1908. For the next twenty years there was a relatively rapid turn-over of occupants, including Frederick G White (1909-10), George Smith (1911-12), John F Welchman (1913), Norman E Miner (1914-15), Thomas Tazewell (1916-17) and Peter Casserly (1919 -21) It appears that the place was rented out during this period. Patrick O’Loughlin then occupied the house from 1922 to the late 1940s. 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.

Statement of Significance

Together with its pair at 48 Harvest Road, Duplex, 46 Harvest Road is a typical stone and iron single storey cottage duplex dating from 1900. 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. 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

Single storey stone and iron duplex pair with overall symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. Number 46 has limestone walls with face brick quoins and reveals. Number 48 has painted limestone walls with rendered brick quoins and reveals. The roof is hipped corrugated iron with a dividing parapet wall. As at 2014 it appears No. 46 has a replacement Zincalume roof and No. 48 has the original short sheet corrugated iron roof. There are two brick chimneys with rendered corbel details. The verandahs are under a separate corrugated iron roof (replacement bullnose to 46) and are supported by chamfered timber posts. Front elevation is symmetrical with a timber sash window and a front door to each side. There is a timber and decorative iron balustrade to each verandah. A rendered brick stair leads up to each verandah. These stairs are parallel to the house and form part of the front boundary wall. This place contains a limestone feature.

History

From the nineteenth century, Harvest Road was important as an access route to Point Direction, the location of a sheltered landing place. Boat building yards were located at Point Direction for much of the twentieth century, during which time the Harvest Road jetty also became a popular family swimming and picnic area. Originally, Harvest Road began at Stirling Highway (then called Bruce Street), but from 1899 it was extended through to Queen Victoria Street (then called Victoria Street). Harvest Road has always been a predominantly residential street, developing steadily from the turn of the twentieth century, and characterised at least in its early decades as a place with a large number of rental properties. Three industries on the street were Purina (1935-55) and Nabisco (1955-88) cereal manufacturers (number 3-5), Rowlands Co Cordial, Wine and Spirits manufacturers (1908 to at least 1939, at number 11), and various marine industries, most prominently Browns Boat Building Yard (from c.1900), which was located between Corkhill (Elizabeth) Street and the River. Post Office Directories suggest that Duplex, 46-48 Harvest Road, was constructed c.1900, with William J Finlay occupying 48 from 1900, John Johnson at 48 from 1901, and Mrs Mary Taylor possibly also at one of the residences from 1901. Finlay had lived on Harvest Road from c.1899, and it is possible that he lived at 32 while building the duplex at 46-48, where he seems to have taken up residence in 1900. However, the place is not shown on a 1904 Water Supply plan, and it is therefore difficult to identify where Finlay and Johnson were living prior to this. (Mrs Taylor appears to have been renting a room at 27 Harvest Road from 1902-04) Johnson was replaced in 1903 by Stephen Meis, who stayed for three years. William Finlay remained at 48 until 1909, while the occupants of 46 changed almost annually. From 1910 there was a high turn-over of occupants in both houses, which continued well into the 1920s at 48. Some residents appear to have moved between the numerous rental houses along Harvest Road in this period. At 46, Alfred Lowcock arrived in 1920 and stayed until at least 1935, and in the 1940s, the place was occupied by George and later John Sorrell. Pictures taken in 1978 show 46 in poor condition, and 48 well-kept with fibro to dado height around the verandah. Photographs from 1996 show both 46 and 48 in good condition. Both have had replacement filigree railings added to their front verandahs. No 46 has a replacement Zincalume roof and the former skillion verandah roof has been replaced with a bullnose profile. 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) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
