Statement of Significance

The railway opened up the industrial area south of Fremantle and stimulated local employment.

History

Owen Anchorage Railway was built c.1900 to service the area to the south of Fremantle. It terminated at Robb Jetty at Owen Anchorage. The railway line originally followed the original shoreline down the coast, but when the Esplanade Reserve was developed in 1902/03 through reclamation of South Bay, the line was pulled up and re-laid along the new shoreline. The railway line mainly served the meat processing plants at Robb Jetty and the industries along the South Fremantle coast, with several having spur lines coming up to platforms at the back of the premises. Owen Anchorage had long been associated with the slaughtering of animals for human consumption. In the early 1850s, John Wellard slaughtered sheep for the Convict Establishment in this area. Later, Copley & Co processed sheep and cattle on the same spot. Further south, in 1900 Robb Jetty was built to offload cattle from ships from the North West. The slaughter houses of Forrest, Emanuel & Co, and Connor, Doherty & Durack just about monopolised the supply of meat to the metropolitan area and the Goldfields. Although Robb Jetty was burnt down in the 1960s, and road trains have replaced the ships that bought the cattle down from the North West, the area remained a centre for meat processing. A large freight terminal was built in there in 1972. Cattle continued to be processed by WA Meat Export Works (est. 1921), Anchorage Butchers and Watsons Foods. The abattoirs were closed in 1993.

Statement of Significance

House, 128 Marine Terrace, is a converted timber framed shed, then shop, then house dating from c1927. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area.

Physical Description

128 Marine Terrace, is a single storey, rendered masonry, fibre cement sheet and iron house (former shed) built in 1927 with an asymmetrical façade. The front wall is rendered and the side walls are timber framed and clad with fibre cement sheeting. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The facade has one recessed front door with a pair of double hung sash windows adjacent. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof which is supported by timber brackets. The house is located on the front boundary line with the verandah overhanging the public footpath.

History

In 1901, James Mews purchased Lot 78 and had two galvanised iron boatsheds built on the lot; one on the corner of Marine Terrace and Rose Street and the other facing Marine Terrace. Mews carried on the boatbuilding business here that his father and grandfather had started. Between 1909 and 1911 the boatsheds were used by the WA Yacht Club. In 1927/28, the boatshed on the corner of Marine Terrace and Rose Street was demolished and replaced with a jarrah house built for Charles Mews. This was originally numbered 31 Rose Street; but was later changed to 1 Rose Street. At the same time, ownership of Lot 78 was transferred to Reginald Mews, the son of James and Adelaide Mews. In 1930, plans for alterations to the boatshed were approved and in the 1930/31 rate period the building’s purpose changes from ‘boatshed’ to ‘shop’. Circa 1940, the house and shop were bought by Sarah and Samuel McCauley. At this time, the property was described in the rate book as a residence and shop. This remained the situation until the mid-1940s, when the rate book description changed to Residence and shop at 1 Rose Street and Residence at 128 Marine Terrace. In the early 1960s, ownership was transferred to Mavis Mews and in the late 1960s, to Stephen Cicerello. Between 1978 and 1993, the weatherboard cladding was replaced with limestone, and the cottage was re-roofed. This place was 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

The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.

Physical Description

19th Century rock faced random rubble limestone wall with mortar capping. The two rendered piers with a timber gate date from the 1940s house. An external heritage assessment was prepared in May 2009 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA184/09) for demolition and replacement of the front limestone wall.

History

House, 150 Marine Terrace was built in 1940/41 for Clarice Smith. Clarice owned the house until the mid-1960s. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a large brick house with a projecting front room to the south and a verandah extending over the remainder of the façade. There were curved steps at the northern end of the lot, leading to the verandah. At the rear of the house was a small verandah and a separate brick laundry with a small attached tin structure. In 2009 a new house was being constructed. 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. Walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. It is not known how old this particular feature is, but the front limestone wall remains from the nineteenth century, possibly from a house on the lot prior to 1940. As at May 2009, the northern end is in danger of collapse.

Statement of Significance

House, 162 Marine Terrace, is a single storey brick and tile house dating from c1907. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 162 Marine Terrace is a single storey brick, timber and tile house constructed in the Federation Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are rendered brick in some sections, with weatherboard cladding in others. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with tiles. The verandah addresses the corner. There are timber framed sash windows with tiled awnings on one elevation, and metal awnings with steel brackets on the other. The house is situated above street level. There is a limestone wall to the front boundary line.

History

A sewerage plan from November 1907 shows the residence as a brick building with a bathroom within a central section of the rear verandah and the southern section of the rear verandah enclosed as a timber room. A staggered verandah wraps the northwest (front) corner of the house, with steps accessing it from Wardie Street (now Sheedy Street). A wall is shown along the Wardie Street boundary but there is no corresponding wall shown along the western lot boundary. At this time, the house was not the corner lot, although there was no development on the additional lot between this residence and Wellington Terrace (now Marine Terrace). A 1913 PWD plan shows a cottage in this location that appears to match the footprint of the residence evident in 1979 and 1993. Four small outbuildings are shown in the rear yard. The residence is built on the southern lot boundary but there is no development on the adjacent southern lot. 1979 photographs show the place as a small fibrous cement cottage with three roof sections – the two over the main house being hipped, and the front section having a gable above a skillion section that appears to be a former verandah. The right (south) side of the house has the appearance of having formerly abutted a neighbouring house. The entrance is oriented towards the corner of Sheedy Street and Marine Terrace, with a small porch, some of which is under the main roof and some of which has a light-weight awning cover. The front section facing Marine Terrace is clad with fibrous cement and has one long, high window. It appears to be an infilled verandah. The rear section also appears to be an infilled verandah, being weatherboard clad under a skillion roof. A large pergola fills much of the rear yard. This place was included on the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80. A 1993 photograph shows the place largely as in 1979, with the exception that the corrugated iron roof has been replaced with tiles. Some of the garden furniture appears similar to 1979, suggesting the same occupants may still be in residence. In both 1979 and 1993, a limestone retaining wall heavily covered in vegetation wraps the corner of the lot and extends along both street fronts.
