Statement of Significance

House, 9 Charles Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from c1895. 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

9 Charles Street is a single storey, brick and iron house with a symmetrical facade built by 1896 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered brick. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on timber posts. There is a high timber picket fence to the front boundary line.

History

Charles Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and much of the housing stock still dates from this time. House, 9 Charles Street was built by 1896. In that year, it was described in the rate book as a cottage owned by W Owerton and occupied by William Caporn. By 1904/05, the cottage was owned by Hilda Andrew and occupied by Henry Lewis. George Smith owned House, 9 Charles Street from c. c. 1920 until at least the late 1940s. George lived in the house for a few years, before renting it to Frank Withnall. From the early 1950s to the early 1960s, the house was owned and occupied by Joseph Ould. The house has had many owners since the mid-1960s. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a house with an unusual plan form. The bulk of the house was brick in an L shape, with asbestos additions running down the length of house along the western boundary and filling the crook of the L. There was also a detached asbestos laundry behind the house. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Purple: "Of architectural and historic significance in its own right.”)

Statement of Significance

Parmelia Park has aesthetic value for its contribution to the surrounding area. It has social significance to the community of South Fremantle as it was created to provide a play space for local children.

Physical Description

A grassed park with metal, plastic and timber play structures. A small child playground is fenced with a steel post and mesh link fence. There is a painted brick toilet block, large eucalyptus and pine trees, several sand pit areas, a timber sign stating "Parmelia Park" and low level log fencing to the perimeter.

History

Parmelia Park was formed in the interwar years as the result of population pressure in South Fremantle. Trees were planted here in 1940 on Arbour Day by children from Beaconsfield School. Bounded by Parmelia and Chester Streets, Parmelia Park is a lawned area of about 2 acres with a children’s playground. The park was named after the Parmelia, which carried Captain James Stirling and the first British settlers to the Swan River Colony, arriving on 1 June 1829. The place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also identified in 'Fremantle's Landscape: A Study for the Municipal Inventory' (2001).
