It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a rare residential example of the Federation Anglo Dutch style of architecture.

Physical Description

House, 273 South Terrace is a single storey brick and iron house built in the Federation Anglo Dutch style of architecture. The walls are face brick. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. There is a rendered chimney evident. The front façade is dominated by a rendered dutch gable with a round ventilator. The front façade has a verandah along its full width with a bullnose corrugated iron roof. Turned timber posts with decorative timber brackets support the verandah. The front façade has a centrally located front door with fanlight, a bay window and a timber double hung sash window.There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line. The building is an example of the Federation Anglo Dutch style of architecture that was more typically applied across Australia for commercial and institutional buildings. A dominant feature of this particular style is the stepped and curvilinear treatment to the gable. 273 South Terrace displays these features to the front gable.

History

House, 273 South Terrace was built in 1901 for James Turner. The first occupant of the house was William Lecky, a secretary. The Turners continued to own the property until 1905/06, when it was purchased and occupied by Harry Weedon. By c. 1940, House, 273 South Terrace was owned and occupied by Mary Edith Carr. In 1953, ownership passed to Percy and Francis Carr, master bakers. Winifred Carr, a spinster, was registered on the title in 1955. Ms Carr continued to own the property until 1977, when it was bought by John Harding, an antique dealer. House, 273 South Terrace has had a number of owners since that time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a large brick house extending across the width of the lot. The house had a bay window to the north and a full length front verandah. The rear verandah was enclosed at both ends with weatherboard. There were a number of attached outbuildings along the northern and western boundaries of the lot in the backyard. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - PURPLE - of architectural and historic significance in its own right. The house is on the corner of Scott Street. The original 1901 single storey building faces South Terrace and a more recent two storey addition faces Scott Street. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Aug 2009 by Carrick + Wills Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0356/09) for proposed additions and alterations to the existing two storey rear addition. In 2009 the place is being used as a Bed and Breakfast.

History

House, 274 South Terrace was built in 1898 for Christine Miller. It is listed in the rate book for that year as a weatherboard cottage of five rooms. In 1901/02, Mrs Bruce Johnson was listed as the occupant of the cottage. By 1920/21, the house was owned by Fred Outrim and occupied by B & J Stocks. Joseph Wilson bought the property the following year and the Stocks continued to live in the house until c. 1940. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house of irregular plan form, with a projecting front room and half length front verandah. To the rear, there were asbestos and galvanised iron additions and a small verandah. In the early 1970s, the City of Fremantle advised the owner that the cottage was in need of extensive repair. Only minor work was undertaken at this time. In 1978, the new owner applied to replace the existing weatherboard with single leaf brickwork. This work was approved. A garage/store shed was added c. 1985.

Values

• The place is rare as a double storey brick tavern designed in the Federation Free Style architectural style in Western Australia.
• The place contributes to the Streetscape of South Terrace and the community’s sense of place.
• The place is important for its association with the booming economic activity brought about by the discovery of gold in Western Australia and as a representative example of Fremantle taverns/hotels built around the turn of the century.

Physical Description

The Statewide Hotel Survey States: The walls are cement rendered with tall narrow French windows at the first floor level, indicating the previous existence of a two storey verandah and round arched windows and door openings at ground floor level. The street elevations are articulated with a series of rendered pilasters running from the ground up to terminate in ornate capitals supporting a cornice at the top of the building. The elevations facing the street are truncated at the intersection and there is a pediment perched high above the cornice over the truncation. There is further pediment sitting on the cornice located over an entrance facing Charles Street. Two storey verandahs shelter some of the rear elevations.’

History

The Statewide Hotel Survey States: ‘According to the Register of Allotments in the Local History Collection, this property was registered to James Manning in 1880. However, the first enrolment Grant from the office of Titles is written to Edmond Yeomans Wallcott Henderson, Captain in the Royal Engineers and the first Comptroller General of convicts in Fremantle in 1954. The 1885 Rate Book records Henderson’s name against the property and at this time the land was vacant.’ ‘Hughes and Day bought the vacant land and in 1898 developed the property. That year a 21 room hotel was erected and named the Sea View Hotel. The architect was O.N. Nicholson. In 1901 ownership passed to Frank Biddles and in 1935 to the Swan Brewery.’ ‘Information contained in the Health Department files record extensions to the hotel took place in 1973. Alterations were made to the toilets and the kitchen, laundry, and bars were upgraded. Application was made in 1980 for additions and these were completed in October 1981. Further development applications was received for new toilets in 1983.’

The attached pair of cottages at 329 and 331 South Terrace were built in 1902/03 for Walter Henville. Mr Helville continued to own the cottages until 1945/46, when ownership passed to George Henville. By 1950, Anthony Miragliotta was the owner. The cottages were leased to a succession of tenants during this time. 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. In 1985, then then owner made an application to the City of Fremantle to demolish the terraced pair to make way for a bitumen paved car park and drive area.

History

Before Mills & Ware and Italian pastry cook was established on the site. The Ross Confectionary Company was on the site in the late 1880s. Mills & Ware started in the 1950s. The West Australian reported in May 1993 that the Mills & Wares site will be named the Biscuit Factory Village under a $12 million redevelopment plan, converting the factory site to a 40-home complex as well as warehouse style apartments and a commercial wing. It reports that the 24 000m2 site closed the previous year (1992). The development will include a 40 lot residential subdivision (on the factory’s car park), 5 studio apartments, 5 townhouses, a cafe/restaurant, a medical sports centre and retail shops. The original flour lofts (at 21 Jenkin Street) would be converted featuring some of the original architecture. A 6 metre jarrah water tower on the site was contentious.

History

Commercial Building, 333 South Terrace was built c. 1917 for Agnes Doak. Prior to this, the lot had been owned for many years by Charles Locke, who had a cottage built on it in 1901/02. Locke rented the cottage to a succession of tenants. The 1917/18 rate book records a shop at No. 255 Mandurah Road, with a cottage at the rear of the lot. Agnes Doak owned the property until 1945/46. During her period of ownership, the property was described as ‘shop and cottage’ (1920/21); ‘shop and cottage and billiard room (1921-23); ‘shop and residence’ (1923-1934). In 1935, there was a shop listed at No. 169 and a residence at No. 171. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated about this time shows brick shop on the street frontage, with a timber structure at the rear (labelled No. 171). The shop was used as a ‘mixed business’ in the 1940s. Stephen Cicerello was the owner of the property in 1950/51. At that time, Anthony Miragliotta occupied the shop, while Joseph Carter lived in the cottage. At some stage prior to 1955, the shop was remodeled and extended to incorporate the timber cottage. The new shop extended across the adjacent lot (No. 335) and there was a recessed entry at No. 333.

Statement of Significance

House, 340 South Terrace, is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey house dating from c 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

340 South Terrace is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house with a symmetrical facade built in 1896 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with fanlight and casement windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on turned timber posts. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.

History

House, 340 South Terrace was built in 1896 for James Back, who had owned the land for some years. James and William Back continued to own the property (sometimes listed in the rate book as joint owners; other times only one name is used) and they leased the cottage to a succession of tenants during this time. In 1896, the cottage was described as comprising four rooms; it had five rooms in 1898. By 1930, House, 340 South Terrace was owned by Laura Webb and occupied by David Clark. By 1950, Sarah Clark was the owner and occupant. She was still living there in 1964 when she was described in the rate book as an ‘old age pensioner’. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a brick house with a full length front verandah and a rear verandah that was enclosed at one end to form a bathroom. There was an attached galvanised iron outbuilding, as well as detached weatherboard and galvanised iron outbuildings and a toilet in the backyard. In the early 1960s, Sarah Clark sold her house to M P Ivandich and over the course of a few years, the property changed hands several times, before being bought by Stefan Zarev c. 1970. Luigi Bertoncini took over the house at about the same time. Some time after the house next door at No. 342 was demolished and a factory built in its place c. 1972, House, 340 South Terrace became an office building. In 1984 it was the office associated with the electrical engineering firm at No. 342.
