The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards. The roof is hipped with a gable and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof supported by timber posts with timber balustrading. The symmetrical front façade has a central front door flanked on either side by timber framed windows. There are additional timber framed casement windows each side of the verandah. There is a timber and wire fence to the front boundary line.

History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. Lot 4 of Subdivision 10 (later 414 South Terrace) was listed as a ‘blacksmiths spot’ in the 1903 rate book. The land was owned by Annie Collins. It was subsequently listed as vacant land until 1920/21, when Annie and her husband Albert had a cottage built. The original street address was 278 Mandurah Road. In 1930/31, the cottage was owned and occupied by Margaret Fisher. House, 414 South Terrace was subsequently owned by George and Gladys Fisher, who marketed it as ‘Goldfields House’ in the 1930s and 1940s. It was aimed at holidaymakers from the country and goldfields. A 1954 diagram notes the property as ‘Goldfields Boarding House’ and shows a variety of weatherboard outbuildings behind the main house, connected by paths. The house remained in Fisher family until c. 1960, when it was purchased by Lucy Gard. The property has changed hands many times since the late 1960s. In the early 1970s, the property was again listed as a ‘boarding house’. 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. It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. The history of the site dates from 1898, however, it is likely this house was built in 1927. In 1898, an iron cottage of two rooms was built on the lot owned by Albert Mattingley. The cottage was initially occupied by Hurford Jenkin, a coach painter, in 1900. Jenkin must have had a large family – five male and two female occupants were listed as living there. In 1901/02, a second cottage was built on the lot, and in 1904/05 one cottage was numbered 282 Mandurah Road, while the other was listed as 19 Hickory Street. This would have been at the rear of the lot, facing Hickory Street. Thomas Strika was the owner in 1915/16, when the description in the rate book was expanded to ‘cottage and rooms’. In 1920/21, the property was rated as a ‘cottage and rooms at rear’. In 1926/27, the rear rooms were addressed 188 Mandurah Road. The Register of approved building plans passed by Council 1905 -1949 show that Miss H. Hutton was given approval for a brick and steel residence at the cost of £600 in 1927. Helena Hutton was the owner of the property from c1927 to c1970. A diagram dated 1954 shows 418 South Tce as a brick house with a full length front verandah and a centrally located path linking the street and front steps. The house had an asbestos addition at the rear. The weatherboard rear rooms are also shown on this diagram. Approval was given in 1977 for a garage to be built with a Hickory Street entrance. 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) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.

History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. A five room weatherboard cottage was listed on the lot in 1898. It was owned and occupied by John McEwin, a gardener. Between 1899 and c. 1920, the house was owned by John Bell. A second cottage was built at the rear of the lot c. 1905. This was addressed 23 Hickory Street, while the cottage fronting Mandurah Road (later South Terrace) was numbered 284. In 1930/31, the house fronting Mandurah Road (190 Mandurah Road) was owned by Lena Brown. In 1940/41, it was owned by George Clark. In 1952/52, the property was owned by Olive and James Byrne. The Byrnes sought and gained approval to build a garage in 1956. A diagram dated the same year shows the Byrnes’ home as a relatively small house with a full length verandah that wrapped around one side.

Statement of Significance

Easternholme, 426-428 South Terrace, a complex of various timber, fibro and iron building dating from 1944, has historic significance for its original purpose as Commonwealth Government Military Quarters for personnel during World War Two. The site has historic and social value as a holiday home for families from country and remote areas established by the Country Women's Association (CWA) in the late 1940s.

Physical Description

Easternholme, 426-428 South Terrace is constructed of corrugated iron and fibrous cement sheeting. It has a skillion roof to the main part, and a further skillion roof addition to one side. The main part of the house is clad with corrugated iron, and the side addition is clad in fibrous cement sheeting. The side addition has timber framed windows to the street elevation. The iron wall has replacement windows that have an aluminium awning over. There is a face brick wall to the front boundary.

History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. In 1897, an ‘iron room’ was located on Lot 11 (later 428 South Terrace). It was owned and occupied by Frank Whistler, a carter. A similar cottage was also located on Lot 10, and both were removed c. 1910. The lots remained vacant until 1944, when the Army built weatherboard and fibro huts on the land to form their ‘Commonwealth Military Quarters’. In 1946 (after the Second World War ended), the Commonwealth withdrew from the site, and the lots were sold to the Country Women’s Association (CWA) in 1948. The CWA, led by Emma Gallagher and Alice Williams from Nungarin, purchased the property with the view to developing the huts and land as a seaside cottage for country visitors and as holiday camps for children. The project was named ‘Easternholme’. The upgrading of the buildings was a slow process for the CWA but Easternholme was used by many community groups for conferences, handcraft, leadership schools and country fire brigades. Migrant families also stayed at the centre during winter months; the facilities were also used as holidaying facilities for the elderly. The gates at the entrance (1992) bore the names of Alice and Fred Williams and Emma Gallagher. A diagram dated 1954 shows a complex of long, narrow weatherboard and asbestos buildings facing a large central courtyard. A kitchen block was noted as part of the northern building (the original Commonwealth Military Quarters at 426). In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the property was sold to Percy Dewar and then George Casas. The property was still used as the CWA homes – Thora Casas was a member of the CWA. In 1986, the property was sold to RB & NE Warren and it became a boarding house (Beach House) for low income earners. In 1992, the owners submitted an application to the City of Fremantle for permission to demolish some of the existing buildings, then forming half of the boarding house. The application was approved. A two storey house was subsequently built on part of the lot.

Horace Elliot occupied the cottage, addressed 298 Mandurah Road, in 1909/10. In 1914/15, the property was sold to Mrs S J Neill, who took up residence with her husband Joseph. The Neill’s owned the house until c. 1940, although they appear to have leased it to tenants in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Between c. 1945 and the early 1960s, the house was owned by Rosina and Arthur Capes. It was then owned by Dawn Johns (mid-1960s), Frederick and Elsie Moore (late 1960s to c. 1970) and G & E Moscufo. House, 430 South Terrace has had a number of owners since 1980. A diagram dated 1954 shows a long narrow weatherboard house with a full length front verandah. The house has the appearance of a duplex, but did not have a pair at this time. The original house was demolished and replaced with a townhouse c. 1987.

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Duoro Road and travel further inland. In 1901, two cottages were built on the lot for Donald McDonald MacKay, a pastoralist and MLC for the North Province (1896-1902). Mr MacKay came to Fremantle in 1892/93 after selling his northern pastoral property ‘Mundabullangana’. He married Emily Vincent in 1893 and purchased a number of properties in Fremantle (about 70-80 houses!). The first occupiers of the cottages were Luke Rockey and Frank Whittam, both labourers. The original street addresses were 302 Mandurah Road (later 202 Mandurah Road; then 432 South Terrace) and 304 Mandurah Road (later 204 Mandurah Road; then 434 South Terrace). On the death of MacKay in 1904, ownership passed to Frank Biddles (later owner of the Princess Theatre in Market St). The property was owned by Biddles and then, after his death in the early 1930s, by his estate, until 1940/41, when the duplex was purchased by Mary Jordon. It continued to be a rental property at this time. The duplexes mirrored one another. Each had a front verandah, two bedrooms linked by a side hallway that opened into living areas behind. In 1950/51, both duplexes were owned by Alice Plowman and Ray Wallis. Ms Plowman lived at 202 Mandurah Road; 204 continued to be a rental property. This continued to be the situation until c. 1960, when the property was bought by Olga Aritonovic and both duplexes were again rented to tenants. The property has had a number of owners since the late 1960s. In 1985, the Health Surveyor found the duplexes were in poor repair. In 1992, a works order was issued to the owner after it was found that the kitchens and laundries were virtually non-existent and that the bathrooms and toilets were in very poor condition. The following year, an application to demolish the existing duplex and replace with a new, double storey duplex was granted.

Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. By 1899, a cottage had been built on the lot owned by Patrick Murray. William Thorn, a cordial manufacturer, was listed as the occupant at this time. In 1900, the cottage was purchased by Donald MacKay and a second cottage was built the following year. Donald McDonald MacKay was a pastoralist and MLC for the North Province (1896-1902). Mr MacKay came to Fremantle in 1892/93 after selling his northern pastoral property ‘Mundabullangana’. He married Emily Vincent in 1893 and purchased a number of properties in Fremantle (about 70-80 houses!). In 1903/04, the cottages were listed in the name of Frank Biddles. They were rental properties throughout this time. The cottages were originally numbered 306 and 308 Mandurah Road (later 206 and 208 Mandurah Road, and then 436 and 438 South Terrace). In 1914/15, 306 Mandurah Road was bought by Priscilla Nicholls. Ms Nicholls was still living in the house in 1944/45. At this time, John Buckingham was the owner of 308 Mandurah Road, which was occupied by Marian Bryant. In 1951/52, 206 Mandurah Road was owned and occupied by Florence Clatworthy. Amelia Nelson owned 208 Mandurah Road. It was still occupied by Marian Bryant at this time. This continued to be the situation until Florence Clatworthy died (c. 1970). House, 436 South Terrace was subsequently sold and has had a number of owners since then. Duplex, 438 South Terrace was also sold c. 1970. A diagram dated 1954 shows a house with a full length front verandah and a long narrow weatherboard extension at the rear. 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) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle. There is further information available at the Local History Library blue files in a heritage assessment prior to demolished dated 1999. 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.

Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. In 1903, a foundry was built on Lots 16 and 17 for Chalmers and Brown. In 1906, the improvements were listed as ‘foundry and sheds’. The partnership of Chalmers and Brown dissolved in 1913/14, and the property was bought by Harriett Phillips. In 1914/15, only sheds were listed on the property. The following year, a cottage (Lot 16) and shed (Lot 17) were listed. The street address was then 314 Mandurah Road. Harriett Phillips continued to own the property until the mid-1930s, when it was purchased by Christian Andre. The cottage (Lot 16) was a rental property for most of this time. A house was built on Lot 17 (446 South Terrace) in 1949. A diagram dated 1954 shows a long, narrow galvanised iron building. A cottage was later built on the lot. In 1982, the property was acquired by the Metropolitan Region Planning Association. In 1992, a photographic record was completed of a timber framed and asbestos clad residence at 444 South Terrace. An application to demolish the cottage was made the same year.

History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. Smelting Works were established at South Beach in 1898, and the factory did much to discourage further residential development in that area. However, workers needed accommodation, and in 1903/04, six cottages were built for Thomas Norma, proprietor of the Seaview Hotel. The cottages were occupied by tradesmen and their families. The first occupants were foundrymen, a bricklayer, a driver and labourers. Smelters Robert Boyd and Charles Neilson lived in two of the cottages. The cottages were originally addressed 322, 324, 326 (Lot 18), 328, 330 and 332 (Lot 19) Mandurah Road. In 1910/11, all six cottages were purchased by Captain Frank Biddles, who had extensive property holdings throughout Fremantle. Biddles continued to own the cottages until 1941. In 1936/37, the street numbering changed to 218-230 Mandurah Road. In 1951/52, 322 and 324 (later 448 and 450 South Terrace) were owned by Albert John Collins. The remainder were owned by Ivan Garbin and Ivan Sarich. The following year, Garbin and Sarich owned all six terraces. This remained the situation until the early 1960s, when 448, 450 and 452 South Terrace (previously 218, 220 and 222) were owned by Ivan Garbin. The remainder were owned by Ivan Skender and Son. In 1979, the front verandah of Workers Terrace, 454 South Terrace, was infilled with asbestos. By 1993, the terrace had been re-roofed, but the original corrugated iron remained on the verandah roof. In 1998, an application was made to the City of Fremantle for a loft in the roof space and the construction of a separate garage at the rear (off Hickory Street) with a loft above. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
