Statement of Significance

House, 12 Orient Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1896. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with turned timber posts. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a brick and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. The fence and garden obscure views of the house.

History

In 1896, a cottage of three rooms was built on the lot for owner Thomas McColl, a labourer. The following year, the property was owned by Alexander Ahern and occupied by Thomas Bush, a carter. A series of tenants followed: George Baker, slaughterman (1898); Alexander McDorjal, smelter (1900); and David Bowers, labourer (1901-03). A diagram dated 1908 shows that the house was unusually well set back from the street. It was a long rectangular brick house set at an angle to the street (with the short side facing the street). The house had centrally located front steps and full length verandahs running down both sides. A water closet was set against the back fence, part of which was fenced off to create a separate yard (perhaps for animals or a garden). By 1920/21, House, 12 Orient Street was owned by occupied by George Dittmer. Number changed from 40 to 12 c. 1940. In 1924, plans were approved for brick and tile additions to the value of £300. In 1945/46, the house was purchased by Hilda Cope. Mabel Dittmer continued to live in it. In 1951/52, House, 12 Orient Street was owned and occupied by John Hembrey. Circa 1956, the place was purchased by Joseph and Shirley Maffina, who continued to own the property until the early 1970s. A diagram dated 1954 shows that the house had been extended. A verandah ran across the full length of the façade, there was an asbestos building attached to the rear, and a path led from one side verandah to a large galvanised iron building. An asbestos laundry was located against the back fence. In 1963/64, the residence was converted into four flats. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment") It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

Duplex, 16-18 Orient Street is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey duplex pair dating from 1898. 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 South Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is a late simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

An attached duplex pair of single storey weatherboard and iron houses. Roofs are hipped corrugated iron with no dividing wall visible through roof. Verandahs are under a separate corrugated iron hipped roof that runs across both houses and is supported by timber posts The walls are painted weatherboard. Each duplex has a single front door and a pair of double hung sash window to the front elevation. There are small gardens to the front of each terrace house and a low level white painted picket fence to the front boundary.

History

In 1898, two cottages of three rooms each were built on Lot 10. They were owned by Thomas Pamment, who also built an identical duplex on the adjacent Lot 11 22-24 Orient Street at the same time. Blacksmiths lived in the cottages on Lot 10. A diagram dated 1908 shows a galvanised iron duplex pair (16 and 18), both with full length front verandahs. The front steps were located centrally to the pair. There were a number of outbuildings attached to the rear, and a fence ran down the middle of the property to separate the backyards. This duplex shared the same plan with that at 22-24 Orient Street. In 1908/09, ownership of Duplex, 16-18 Orient Street changed to Frederick Pamment. At this time, it appears that only #16 was occupied. In 1920/21, Duplex, 16-18 Orient Street was owned by Thomas Coleman and in 1930/31, it was owned by Edward Coleman. Susan Merson owned it in 1950/51. The two cottages were occupied by tenants throughout this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows the duplex as a mirror pair. Constructed of galvanised iron, the pair had full length front and rear verandahs. Fences divided the front and rear yards. Mirrored outbuildings, including water closets and laundries were located in the backyards. In the early 1990s, Duplex 16-18 Orient Street was condemned by the Fremantle City Council. It was then purchased by Hans Van Andel, who commenced restoration works. The works involved the replacement of much material, but despite this, the property won a heritage award from the Fremantle City Council. This 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

House, 17 Orient Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from 1937. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Inter War Californai Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry and tile cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed c1937. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof hipped and gabled with eaves and clad with tiles. The half verandah is under a continuous tiled roof with round render columns on rendered masonry piers. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a window and tiled awning over. Under the verandah is the front door and a window. There is a brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

House, 17 Orient Street was built between 1935 and 1940. In 1939/40, the property was sold to Eunice and John Bowden by Anthony Basek. The Bowdens continued to own and occupy the house until the early 1960s, when it was purchased by Thomas Clarke. The Clarkes rented the house to tenants for a number of years, before moving into the property themselves. Alfred and Eileen Bovell owned House, 17 Orient Street from the mid-1960s to c. 1990. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 17 Orient Street as a brick house of unusual plan form for South Fremantle, reflecting its Inter-War construction date. One side of the façade projected slightly and a short verandah extended over the other side of the front. An asbestos section was nested at the back of the house in a short L configuration of the main house. A curved path led from the street to the side of the front verandah. A paved area at the rear connected the back door with an asbestos building at the rear of the backyard. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - YELLOW - significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

Statement of Significance

Duplex , 22 -24 Orient Street is a rare example of a corrugated iron single storey duplex pair dating from 1898. 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 South Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The place has rarity value as being one of very few corrugated iron clad buildings still extant.

Physical Description

An attached duplex pair of single storey corrugated iron and asbestos houses. Roofs are hipped corrugated iron with no dividing wall visible through roof. Verandahs are under a separate corrugated iron hipped roof that runs across both houses and is supported by timber posts The walls to no. 22 are corrugated iron, whilst the walls to no. 24 are partially corrugated iron and partially asbestos. Each duplex has a single front door and a pair of double hung sash window to the front elevation. No. 24 has a half height asbestos wall to the verandah. No. 22 has the remnants of a timber balustrade. There are small gardens to the front of each duplex and a low level asbestos fence to the front boundary of no. 24.

History

In 1898, two cottages of three rooms each were built on Lot 11. They were owned by Thomas Pamment, who also built an identical duplex on the adjacent Lot 10 16-18 Orient Street at the same time. A diagram dated 1908 shows a galvanised iron duplex pair (22 and 24), both with full length front verandahs. The front steps were located centrally to the pair. There were a number of outbuildings attached to the rear, and a fence ran down the middle of the property to separate the backyards. This duplex shared the same plan with that at 16-18 Orient Street. In 1920/21, Duplex, 22-24 Orient Street was owned by Bryan Devitt. Susan Merson owned it in 1950/51. The two cottages were occupied by tenants throughout this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows the duplex as a mirror pair. Constructed of galvanised iron, the pair had full length front and rear verandahs. Fences divided the front and rear yards. Various outbuildings, including water closets and laundries were located in the backyards. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. 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.

It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture

Physical Description

Single storey asbestos and tile cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are painted asbestos sheeting. The roof is hipped with no eaves and clad with tiles. The verandah is under a broken back tiled roof with round render columns on painted brick bases.

Statement of Significance

House, 4 Orient Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1905. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1905. The walls are painted weatherboard. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The half verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof with square timber posts. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with timber framed bay window. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a timber balustrade to the verandah as the house is elevated from the street level. There is a rendered masonry and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

Circa 1893, Chamberlain, Davies & Wray subdivided the land around Orient Street. Albert Rowe bought the land in 1893 and it remained undeveloped until 1905/06, when Rowe had a cottage built on the lot. At this time, the house was numbered 16 Orient Street. A 1908 diagram shows the house as a timber cottage, with a tank stand and timber and corrugated galvanised iron outbuildings at the rear. The property was connected to the sewer system in November 1912. Rowe retained ownership until 1913/14, when the property was purchased and occupied by James Sowden. However, Rowe had let the cottage to tenants from c. 1907/08 – firstly to William Strickland, then to Joseph Pryke and then Indar Singh. James Sowden had been born in Cornwall in 1869. It has not been determined when he arrived in Australia, but he married Sarah Ann Salter in South Australia in 1891. The couple moved to Fremantle the following year and James opened a butcher shop on the corner of Hampton Road and South Street in 1894. He established other shops in the Fremantle area over the years. One of James and Sarah’s children, James John (aka Jack) was well known for his trumpet playing. When still a child, he often played at the local picture theatres during intermission and he also played at the opening of Radio 6PM in the Fremantle Town Hall. Jack married Isobel Rowe in 1930 and from 1955 to the mid-1960s they lived next door at #2 Orient Street. The property remained in Sowden family ownership for many years. Title had passed to Annie Sowden by 1930/31, then to Sarah Sowden by 1940/41, and to Edna May Sowden by 1950/51. Miss Edna Sowden retained title and occupied the cottage until c. 1974. The house was renumbered #4 Orient Street c. 1940. A diagram dated 1954 shows the house as a weatherboard house with a bay window on one side and a verandah on the other. A centrally located path led from the street to the front door. There was also a verandah down one side of the house. A weatherboard sleep-out was at the rear. A path led from the back door to outbuildings in the back yard. The cottage was subsequently owned by Edna Ross (1977), Gemma Lawlor, John Eaton, Gabrielle Parker and William Duff (1979) and then Stephen and Jennifer Jennings (1981). In 1981, Fremantle City Council approved plans for a study at the rear (over an existing room), new carport, side verandah and internal alterations to the bathroom and kitchen. 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") It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

Statement of Significance

House, 8 Orient Street, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1898. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with square timber posts. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. A brick chimney is intact. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

In 1898, a cottage of two rooms was built on the lot owned and occupied by Arthur Bottomley, a warehouseman. The house was initially numbered 24 Orient Street. A diagram dated 1908 shows the house as being brick, with a full length front verandah and a large weatherboard area at the rear (this is an addition). There was also a full length verandah running across the rear of the house. Weatherboard outbuildings and a well were located in the back yard. The Bottomley family retained ownership until 1937/38 when it was purchased by Marion Lingstonze. By this time, it had been re-numbered 8 Orient Street. By 1939/40, the house had been purchased and occupied by Maurice and Frances Luke. The property was sold to Norma Larkin in 1947/48. It was sold to Montague Riggs between 1950 and 1960. Mr and Mrs Riggs retained ownership until at least the early 1970s. A diagram dated 1954 shows that the house comprised two sections – brick to the front and weatherboard at the rear. A verandah ran across the full width of the façade and there was also a verandah at the rear. By this time, the lot was heavily paved – between the verandah and front fence, down the side (leading to a galvanised iron building, presumably a garage) and a substantial section of the back yard.

Statement of Significance

House, 16 Parmelia Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1898. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron single frontage cottage with an asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards. The roof is gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under separate corrugated iron roof with square timber posts. The front facade is asymetrical with a front door and timber framed window. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

Parmelia Street has had a number of names over the years. It was originally called Attfield Street (c. 1899), then Chester Street (c. 1901), then Attfield Lane (c. 1906), before being named Parmelia Street in 1935/36. Duplex, 16 Parmelia Street was built as a duplex in 1898. In that year, two cottages were built for a Mr Smith. Both were of three rooms and were occupied by tenants – one by a baker and the other by a boilermaker. Mr Smith continued to own the duplex until 1903/04, when it was purchased by Neils Jorgenson. Margaret Coleman became the owner in 1920/21 and retained ownership until at least the early 1950s. It continued to be a rental property throughout this time. A plan dated 1954 shows the two duplexes. Unusually, they were no conjoined, but situated on the outer boundaries of the lot, with open space between them. A fence ran down the entire length of the block. However, the two duplexes were a mirror pair, with full length front verandahs, front steps leadi

Statement of Significance

House, 2 Parmelia Street, is a typical weatherboard and iron single storey house dating from 1911. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are painted horizontal weatherboards. The roof is hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. A brick chimney is intact. There is a high level timber fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. The garden and fence substantially obscure views to the house.

History

Parmelia Street has had a number of names over the years. It was originally called Attfield Street (c. 1899), then Chester Street (c. 1901), then Attfield Lane (c. 1906), before being named Parmelia Street in 1935/36. House, 2 Parmelia Street was built in 1911/12 for owner and occupier Charles Ward. Mr Ward continued to own the house until his death in 1958.

Statement of Significance

House, 9 Price Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from c1907. 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 Federation Bungalow style of architecture.

Physical Description

9 Price Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and tile house with an symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with terracotta tiles. The facade has a central front door flanked either side by a flat projecting bay with casement windows. The verandah has a separate tiled roof and is supported by round moulded plaster pillars with a curved metal balustrade. There is a curved rendered masonry and iron wall to the front boundary line.

History

This house was formerly 31 Lord Street. Lord Street was changed to Price Street in 1908/09 in honour of James Price, MLA for Fremantle 1905 to 1920 and the Minister for Works 1906 to 1909. The previous name was used to represent the title held by the persons after whom the adjoining streets were named ie: Grey and Russell. This house is first recorded in the Post office directories in 1907 and the occupant was Alex Watson the manager of the firm Emanuel Bros. Watson lived at the house until and least 1912. Further research of the City of Fremantle Rates Books will establish if Watson was also the owner of the place. Later occupants were Mrs S. Williams and Harry E. Bolton. The 1908 sewerage plan of the site shows that this brick house had a symmetrical front façade design with two bay windows and a verandah. At the rear is a verandah a portion of which was enclosed to form the bathroom. A water tank was located adjacent to the back of the house. In the back yard was a galvanised iron washhouse and a timber shed. On the rear boundary of the lot were three galvanised iron stables and a galvanised iron closet.
