Statement of Significance

Hi Fidelity Recording Studio (Fmr.), 63 Thompson Road, a concrete block commercial building from the Late Twentieth Century has heritage significance for the following reasons: - It has aesthetic and rarity value as a simple but well composed example of the work of Iwan Iwanoff and as an idiosyncratic example of the Late Twentieth Century Brutalist style of architecture, - it has historic and social value as an example of the light industrial and commercial development that was established in North Fremantle between the 1890s and 1970s. It illustrates the development of this traditional mixed use industrial and residential working class area before the rise of car ownership and the introduction of Post-War zoning plans, and - it contributes to the character of the North Fremantle Heritage Area

Physical Description

The former Hi-Fidelity Recording Studio is a single storey rectangular building with a flat roof set back from the front boundary in line with surrounding residential development. The rear half of the site is largely vacant with only a steel framed shed in the north-east corner. The building shows the influence of the Late Twentieth Century Brutalist style of architecture with a monolithic form articulated by the building structure and programme and using a simple palette of concrete blocks and breeze soleil blocks. While this building contains little of the decorative sculptural detail visible in his residential projects, the elevations are tightly composed and attention has been paid to articulating the building structure and setting out the blockwork. The building also uses passive solar design with windows limited to the north and south elevations and cross ventilation through the office and amenity areas. The front elevation of the building presents a blank wall to the street. The six bay structural grid is articulated on the side elevations by recessing the wall planes. The low pitch roof is concealed by a low parapet with a smooth rendered finish. On the north elevation full height windows and small garden spaces are concealed behind breeze soleil blockwork on end bays and on the south elevation there are recessed entry porches. The main entrance to the building has breeze soleil blockwork and a small garden set in front of full height glazing.

History

Thompson Road was named for George Thompson (1838-1874), Fremantle's first town clerk (1871-73). Thompson Road is mainly residential, with some commercial development at the northern end between Alfred Road and McCabe Road. Most of the houses were built c. 1900. Only a few lots on the street remained vacant in the 1920s. A metropolitan drainage plan for 1940 shows that 63 Thompson Road had been developed at that time with a brick house with a front and rear verandah. It also shows the commercial and light industrial development north of Alfred Road and in the near vicinity of 63 Thompson Road including the Soap Factory, the Great Southern Roller Flour Mill (Dingo Flour) and the Vacuum Oil Company. The brick cottage at 63 Thompson Road can be seen on a 1965 aerial photograph of the area but by 1976 it has been replaced with the existing building, the former Hi Fidelity Recording Studio. The mixture of light industrial and residential use in the surrounding area can be seen in the photographs. The house directly to the north of 63 Thompson Road was also replaced with an industrial building when a plumbing supply store and warehouse was constructed for Charles Smith in the early 1970s. In 1967 the Hi Fidelity Recording Studio was constructed at 63 Thompson Road for Martin Clarke. The building was designed by the architect Iwan Iwanoff and constructed by Bonville Homes of Hearne Hill. It contained a reception area, office, two studios, work room, control room and cutting room together with amenities such as toilets and a kitchen. The Building license drawings and specification are held by the City of Fremantle archives (BL 9591/1968). The plans show that part of the original house was to be retained and modified but it is not known if this occurred or if it was demolished. The designated planning use of the place was ‘factory building’. A letter on the City of Fremantle property file indicates that by 1975 the studio was being leased by the Community Radio Association. In 1977 a development application was made by E. Whitake for Will Upson Productions Pty Ltd to extend the recording studio but this work was not carried out. The place changed hands again in the 1980s and minor modifications were made to the property in the following decades. In 1985 when the place was being used by Polyndos, a commercial laboratory, a metal carport was attached to the rear of the building. In 1993 Meridian Mall P/L applied to replace the 1985 carport with a garage. Then in 2003 Australian Process Technology constructed a steel framed shed at the rear of the property for use as a workshop. None of these additions affected the 1968 studio building. In 2021 the property was still in the ownership of Meridian Mall P/L.

History

Tydeman Road runs west to east between Port Beach Road and Stirling Highway. It is a major arterial road taking traffic from the beachfront to the major through roads of Stirling Highway and Queen Victoria Street. This street has had several name changes over the years. Originally known as Pensioner Road, the street was renamed John Street in 1913 after Fremantle councillor, W John (1885-1891). The section of road west of Stirling Highway was renamed Tydeman Road in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of the reclamation of the river foreshore. The name changed again in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of reclamation of the river foreshore between Stirling Highway and Bruce Street. The name Tydeman was chosen in honour of Frank Williams Edward Tydeman, General Manager of Chief Engineer of the Fremantle Port Authority. The street was originally residential on the northern side with industrial uses occupying the southern side of the road. The weatherboard and iron cottage at 10 Tydeman Road (formerly 60 John Street) was built in the period 1897 to 1913 for an unidentified owner. It was part of a larger landholding owned by Mrs Andrew Burns in 1895 and subdivided circa 1896. In 1921, the property was owned by Winifred Shepherd who also owned the adjacent property (vacant land at this time). James Shepherd occupied the cottage at this time. Winifred Shepherd retained the properties until 1926 when they were transferred to M A Migro who then occupied the house. In 1935, the house was described as a five-roomed weatherboard house. In 1940, the cottage had a verandah across the front and a galvanised iron addition across the rear. The cottage occupied a large triangular corner block on the corner of Burns and John streets. The vacant block adjacent was used as a tennis court. By 1979, front verandah had been enclosed with a fibro and louvred enclosure on the front and side facing Burns Street. 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.

The name Tydeman was chosen in honour of Frank Williams Edward Tydeman, General Manager of Chief Engineer of the Fremantle Port Authority. The street was originally residential on the northern side with industrial uses occupying the southern side of the road. The brick, stone and iron duplex at 14-16 Tydeman Road (formerly 64-66 John Street) was built in the period 1897 to 1913 for an unidentified owner. It was part of a larger landholding owned by Mrs Andrew Burns in 1895 and subdivided circa1896. It is apparent from the design that the adjacent properties at 18-20 were built by the same builder and possibly for the same owner, Donald McKay. McKay was a prominent Fremantle resident who owned approximately 70 to 80 houses in Fremantle, as well as significant landholdings. He was at one time a member for the Legislative Council for the Northern Province. In 1921, both sides of the duplex were described as three roomed brick houses and were owned by McKay’s daughter, Jessie, as part of the estate of Donald McKay. Jessie leased them to tenants until 1924. Tenants included William Holman, William Houlahan, E. Bellis and Bridget Freeman. The company E M FOTHERGILL AND CO owned the properties between 1925 and 1935. The founder of this company Edward Henry Fothergill began his career as a warehouseman and was at one time manager of WA Lighterage and Stevedoring Co. In 1901 he established his own agency business called E H Fothergill and Co Ltd. Fothergill was prominent on many committees in the area including the Fremantle Hospital and was also Mayor of Fremantle in 1910. During Fothergill’s period of ownership, tenants included Frederick Tollis and Cecil Hewitt. There are no records of ownership between 1935 and 1955, by which time Brendan D Evans owned number 66 (number 16) and Brian and Bertha Brakespeare owned number 64 (number 14). Brendan Damien Evans was owner of number 66 from the late 1950s until 1995. Number 64 was owned by Eleanor McInnes Anderson (1964-68 until 1974-1978) Stephen, David and Michelle Byers in 1983 and in 1995 Margaret Faye Hutchison was the owner. In 1940, the form of the building was consistent with its original design, with narrow verandahs at the front and at the sides away from the common wall. The back yards had no structures except water closets in the back corners of the properties. The properties were connected to the mains sewerage system in 1955. By 1979, the front verandah of 16 had been enclosed with a brick wall with an aluminium window inserted. In 1983, a new bathroom, family room, laundry and toilet were added to 14 Tydeman. In 2004, the place is used as two separate residences. 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.

Statement of Significance

Commercial Building, 24 Tydeman Road is a typical rendered brick,single storey commercial building dating from the late 1890s. Notwithstanding the considerable alterations, the place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical commercial building stock located within the commercial areas of North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of commercial buildings in the North Fremantle area.

Physical Description

The brick and iron commercial building at 24 Tydeman Road is a single storey commercial building. Originally designed as two separate commercial businesses (22 & 24) each with their own frontage to Tydeman Road, the duplex premises were eventually amalgamated into one commercial space. The front elevation has been considerably altered with the recessed central door ways and bay windows being replaced with a solid front door and glass bricks. There is a parapet with simple rendered banding. The original verandahs have been removed and replaced with a suspended steel boxed awning. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Sept 2009 by Carrick + Wills Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA288/09) for a proposed two and three storey office development including demolition of the former service station to 208-210 Queen Victoria Street and partial demolition and adaptation of 24 Tydeman Road, North Fremantle.

It was designed so that two separate commercial business to operate from the building, each with their own frontage to Tydeman Road. The property was originally part of large landholding owned by Mrs Andrew Burns and subdivided circa 1896. In 1921, the estate of Donald McKay owned the property. McKay was a prominent Fremantle resident who owned approximately 70 to 80 houses in Fremantle as well as significant landholdings, and was at one time a member of the Legislative Council for the Northern Province. McKay also owned other properties in Tydeman Road. The property was transferred to Samuel McKay after Donald’s death. Between 1925 and 1935 the place was owned by Arthur Browne. The occupants included Larry Fortune, W E Lansdowne, Water Jewell, Eric Arthur and W Hill. The functions of the business operating from this property have not been determined. Sometime between 1940 and 1979, the duplex premises were amalgamated into one space. In 1979, the place was occupied by Ena’s Indonesian Restaurant. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

The house has an unusual bathroom and laundry built of brick with limestone quoins around the openings. The outside screening walls are also built of brick with arched bays. The verandah still has its cast iron lace balustrade largely intact although it is in a dangerous state due to the damaged timber structure. Internally it has a central wide passage and six rooms on either side. All internal, significant features such as the original joinery, fireplaces and their mantelpieces, ceiling rosettes, plaster decorations etc are still intact.’ At this time, the City of Fremantle considered the possibility of purchasing the property for repair and resale.

History

Tydeman Road runs west to east between Port Beach Road and Stirling Highway. It is a major arterial road taking traffic from the beachfront to the major through roads of Stirling Highway and Queen Victoria Street. This street has had several name changes over the years. Originally known as Pensioner Road, the street was renamed John Street in 1913 after Fremantle councillor, W John (1885-1891). The section of road west of Stirling Highway was renamed Tydeman Road in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of the reclamation of the river foreshore. The name changed again in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of reclamation of the river foreshore between Stirling Highway and Bruce Street. The name Tydeman was chosen in honour of Frank Williams Edward Tydeman, General Manager of Chief Engineer of the Fremantle Port Authority. The street was originally residential on the northern side with industrial uses occupying the southern side of the road. The bakery at 40 Tydeman Street is located on a site with several other buildings. The office building on the corner of Tydeman and Pearse Street has elements of an older building within it. The bakery was built between 1913 and 1921 (the building is not shown on the 1913 plan of the area but appears in the Rates Books for 1921, which is when available records begin). Malachi Hallion owned the entire property in 1921 that consisted of a seven-roomed brick house, stables and a bakehouse. Malachi Hallion probably lived and worked from the site and used the stables for his horses that delivered the bread. Ellen Mary Hallion was the owner from 1930 to 1935. In 1940, the place included the stone and brick house facing Tydeman Road. The weatherboard and brick bakehouse faced Pearse Street and several stables and outbuildings were grouped around the property boundary. A well was located to the east of the bakehouse, close to the house. In 1996, the property included two factory units and the tenants included International Reefer Services, Port Panel Beater Service, Leo’s Coastal Radiator Service and Ludwig Reitzenstein and Co, Cabinet makers. The property was developed at this time to create office space in the original house. The bakehouse was converted to a one-bedroom studio apartment and the factory units were demolished. Home units have subsequently been built on the remainder of the property. Architect for the conversion design was Murray Slavin. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle.

History

Refer to the Heritage Council of Western Australia's Register of Heritage Places - Register and Assessment Documentation. Place No. 2927. Tydeman Road runs west to east between Port Beach Road and Stirling Highway. It is a major arterial road taking traffic from the beachfront to the major through roads of Stirling Highway and Queen Victoria Street. This street has had several name changes over the years. Originally known as Pensioner Road, the street was renamed John Street in 1913 after Fremantle councillor, W John (1885-1891). The section of road west of Stirling Highway was renamed Tydeman Road in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of the reclamation of the river foreshore. The name changed again in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of reclamation of the river foreshore between Stirling Highway and Bruce Street. The name Tydeman was chosen in honour of Frank Williams Edward Tydeman, General Manager of Chief Engineer of the Fremantle Port Authority. The street was originally residential on the northern side with industrial uses occupying the southern side of the road. The Railway Hotel, a single storey brick and iron hotel that was constructed c.1898 for Frederick Mason to cater for the needs of the growing suburb of North Fremantle. Frederick Mason was a jeweller by profession but also held significant landholdings in North Fremantle. Prior to the construction of the Railway Hotel, a boarding house, coffee palace and three cottages had occupied the site. These buildings had been the location of the original ‘Railway Hotel’. The naming of the hotel was suggested by its close proximity to the Perth to Fremantle railway line and the North Fremantle station. The new building was designed by architect O N Nicholson and constructed in 1898-99. Shortly after construction, the property was transferred to Bertha Hillman. In 1910, Bertha Sophie Pinbaum contracted with the Castlemaine Brewery for seven years. The manager of the hotel at this time was William Smith. The change in management saw the hotel undergo major renovations. In 1948, the property was transferred to Vincent Sidney McMullen. In 1972, the property was transferred to Vincent and May Tippett and Douglas Shave. Douglas Shave became the sole proprietor in 1975. In 1989, the company Arrowdale Pty Ltd purchased the property. The development of the North Fremantle area for industrial uses has been the principal determining factor in the shaping of the area. The development of the port, railway and the oil storage facilities has been significant in decline of residential use of the area. Originally the Railway Hotel would have taken its clientele from the local residents. As the suburb has changed, the weekday clientele are dock workers and workers from adjacent industries. The hotel has developed as a venue for traditional jazz on weekends and attracts customers from throughout Perth and Fremantle. In 1997, the owner incorporated a limited hours barbershop into the hotel. In 1975, a car park was constructed on the southeast corner of the land with access from De Lisle Street. In 1981, the street verandah was reconstructed and later that year the lounge area of the hotel was extended. In 1997, the Railway Hotel was repainted in consultation with advice from the City of Fremantle. In 2016, the Railway Hotel continues to be used for hotel purposes including accommodation.
