History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 8 Scott Street was built in 1899 for Thomas Webb, a shipwright. Mr Webb lived in the house until at least 1914. It was then owned and occupied by William Urquhart. The Urquhart family retained ownership until the early 1970s, when it was purchased by Mabel Done. An extension to the front room was completed in 1934. A plan dated 1954 shows House, 8 Scott Street as a weatherboard house with an asbestos sleep-out at the rear. The 1934 extension to the front room is clearly shown on the diagram and the house did not have any front verandah at this time. A curved path led from the corner of the block to the front door. Another path at the rear linked the back door with an asbestos outbuilding. In 1992, plans were submitted to the City of Fremantle for a new residence. The existing house was demolished and an archival record was deposited in the Fremantle Local History Collection. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.

History

Sheedy Street was originally part of Wardie Street. The name was changed in 1982 in honour of a family that lived at 9 Sheedy Street between c. 1890 and c. 1990. House, 5 Sheedy Street was built c. 1899. In 1899, William Litton, an engine driver, was listed as the occupant of the cottage. No owner was listed. In 1900, Litton was listed as the owner and occupier. Litton continued to own the house for several years, but from 1901 to 1903, it was occupied by Michael Ryan, a railway employee. In 1905/06, the house was purchased by Daniel Gleeson, a railway ganger. In 1907/08, it was bought by Robert Hicks. Hicks continued to own then house until 1935, when it was purchased by Enos Dyer. Dyer continued to live there until the mid-1960s, when it was purchased by Pavao Svilicich, who owned it until at least the mid-1970s. House, 5 Sheedy Street has had a number of owners since that time. A diagram dated 1954 indicates that the house was built in two stages – a brick front section with a weatherboard section behind. At this time, the house had a full length front verandah and asbestos and weatherboard rooms at the rear. A well was located in the backyard, which was divided into several sections by fencing. A brick garage was also located in the back yard. A photograph dated 1979 shows a painted stone building with a corrugated iron roof. The front verandah was filled to half height. By 1993, the paint had been removed from the façade to reveal stonework with brick quoins around the door and window frames. The low concrete fence was replaced with a very low picket fence. 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.

House, 6 Sheedy Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, the cottage was listed as being owned and occupied by Alfred Jackson, a storeman. Jackson retained ownership of the house until c. 1930, when Charlotte Jackson (‘old age pensioner’) was listed as the owner and occupant. Presumably Alfred Jackson died about this time. The property remained in Jackson family ownership until the mid-1960s. After being owned by Charlotte until c. 1950, it was listed in the name of Frederick and Mervyn Jackson, Laura Jordon and Alma Rutherford. Frederick left the syndicate c. 1960 and in the mid-1960s, the property was sold to Carlo Basioli. Members of the Jackson family had lived in the house until the mid-1960s. A diagram dated 1954 indicates that the house was built in two stages – a brick front section with a weatherboard section behind. The house took up the full width of the block and had a full length front verandah. At the rear of the house were several weatherboard and asbestos additions. A relatively large weatherboard building was also located against the back fence. Mr Basiloi sold House, 6 Sheedy Street in 1980 and the place has had a number of owners since that time. A photograph dated 1979 shows a painted façade. Circa 1988, extensive internal renovations and a large extension to the rear were completed. By 1993, the paint had been removed from the façade to reveal the original stonework with brick quoins. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

Sheedy Street was originally part of Wardie Street. The name was changed in 1982 in honour of a family that lived at 9 Sheedy Street between c. 1890 and c. 1990. House, 9 Sheedy Street was built in 1899. The weatherboard cottage was built for Michael Sheedy, a tailor. The Sheedy family retained ownership of the house until c. 1990. In 1920/21, the house was listed as being owned and occupied by Margaret Sheedy. In 1927/38, the house was owned by the Estate of Margaret Sheedy, Ownership was soon changed to Winifred Sheedy, who lived in the house until shortly before her death in 1991. Michael and Margaret Sheedy and their three children migrated to Australia from Lancashire, England, in 1896. They landed in Albany, where Agnes and the children stayed for three months while Michael found accommodation in Fremantle. As it was the height of the gold boom, rental accommodation was hard to find so Michael purchased some land in South Fremantle and set about having a house built. The Sheedy family were the first to build in the street, which at the time was bush and sand. The first two rooms were built by Mr Webb and the second two by Mr Ross. Michael Sheedy worked as a tailor for Healy and Fontaine in High Street, Fremantle. Margaret was also a tailoress, but worked from home. Winifred (Winnie) Sheedy worked at William Detmold’s (later Spicer’s Ltd) stationers in William Street, Fremantle. She retired in 1959. Winnie died in 1991, a few years after the street was renamed to honour her family. A diagram dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and centrally located front path. At the rear of the house were a weatherboard sleep-out or laundry and verandah. The rear section of the yard was fenced off and contained a fowl run and shed. The new owner of the house (c. 1991) applied to the City of Fremantle for permission to demolish the cottage and replace with a two storey residence. (Physical evidence shows that the demolition did not proceed - 2008) This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

This street was surveyed on the sub-division of a large block of land belonging to Sir Henry Briggs. The land was called Briggs Paddock and the speculation is that the streets were named after treasures such as silver, gold and coral, because in fact, the land was originally pure white sand covered with rushes, and held no mineral wealth. The eastern section of the street was called Stanley Street until 1952/53. House, 10 Silver Street was built for James Horne in 1917/18. It was occupied by William and Mary Brophy. James Horne still owned it in the early 1920s. By 1930/31, the house was owned and occupied by William Bowman. At this stage, it was addressed 27 Stanley Street. Isador De Vaurno was one of the owners in the 1950s, and Elise Leonard in the early 1960s.

Statement of Significance

This property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place. The existing development on the site has little significance.

Physical Description

Historic building / structures demolished.

History

This street was surveyed on the sub-division of a large block of land belonging to Sir Henry Briggs. The land was called Briggs Paddock and the speculation is that the streets were named after treasures such as silver, gold and coral, because in fact, the land was originally pure white sand covered with rushes, and held no mineral wealth. The eastern section of the street was called Stanley Street until 1952/53. House, 5 Silver Street was built in 1901/02 for Charles Mitchell. Mitchell continued to own the property until c. 1910 although he did not live in it from c. 1905. A sewerage diagram dated 1908 shows a very small weatherboard cottage located close to the front boundary. The house did not have a front verandah, but did have a full length rear verandah. A small galvanised iron building was located at the front of the property against the western boundary fence. By 1920/21, Thomas Reardon was the owner. He leased it to a succession of tenants until 1935/36, when he was listed as the occupier. By 1940, ownership had passed to Madge Harper. It is likely that Mrs Harper had the original cottage demolished and a new house built, as a sewerage diagram dated 1954 shows the lot as vacant land. At this time, there was a large asbestos garage on the site. Mrs Harper retained ownership until c. 1990, at which time Thomas Harper was listed as the owner. During the time of Mrs Harper’s ownership, House, 5 Silver Street was leased to a number of tenants. 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. By 2008, the 1950s house had been demolished and a modern house built in its place. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.

This place has been identified in 'Fremantle's Landscape: A Study for the Municipal Inventory' as being of cultural heritage significance'. The place is identified in the South Fremantle Heritage Study (1993) as being of cultural heritage significance.

Physical Description

Bruce Lee Reserve is a large rectangular grassed park area with several trees to the perimeter. Located in front of South Fremantle TAFE.

History

Vested in City of Fremantle 1962. Used as a park in the interwar years, probably constructed on a quarry site. Bruce Lee Oval is evidence of public need expressed in the interwar and the post-war years for new sporting venues. (M. Bosworth, Landscape Study, p.41) The Park was a former portion of 'Mulberry Farm' - itself an historic part of Fremantle. The creation of the Park is part of the 'newer' development of South Fremantle. Bruce Lee was a Fremantle councillor from 1940 to 1967. The place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
