The walls are limestone with rendered quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is asymmetrical with a central front door with fanlight.

History

The area was owned by Captain William Owston, and then his stepson, Frederick Jones. Jones served with the Fremantle Council for many years. On the subdivision of the property in 1891, family names were given to the streets. Louisa was the daughter of Frederick and Emma Jones. Louisa Street was one of the first in this area of South Fremantle to be developed. House, 8 Louisa Street was built c. 1896 for Henry Adams, a customs officer. Mr Adams continued to own and occupy the house until at least 1952. A sewerage diagram dated c. 1915 shows House, 8 Louisa Street as a square brick house with a full length front verandah. A narrow weatherboard addition extended the full length of the rear of the house. At this time, it was numbered 16 Louisa Street. By 1979, the façade of the single storey residence had been painted and the front windows replaced with larger aluminium sliding windows. There was an addition with glass louvers to the side of the house, under the same roof as the verandah. By 1993, the paint had been removed from the façade and the addition to the side had been removed. The aluminium windows had also been removed and replaced with large timber frame windows and French doors.

Statement of Significance

House, 15 Manning Street, is an altered, rendered masonry and tile single storey house dating from c1901. 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

15 Manning Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and tile house with a 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 tiles. The facade has a central front door with a timber framed casement window to each side. The verandah has a broken back tiled roof and is supported by moulded plaster columns on rendered masonry piers with a rendered masonry balustrade. There is a rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line.

History

15 Manning Street is first mentioned in the Post Office Directories with that street number in 1905 and is occupied by Francis Temple. He is resident in Manning Street from 1902. It is assumed that he moved to Manning Street when he took occupancy of the house. Further research will resolve the exact date of construction and establish if he was the owner and occupant of the house. The 1908 sewerage plan of the site shows that the stone house had a verandah across the front of the building and a timber addition at the rear. A brick closet was located in the back yard on the rear property boundary. 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") A photograph of the place in 1979 shows that the front boundary wall and verandah balustrade were of a matching design that is not original. The verandah supports in the form of pillars are also not original. The house was in good condition with a dark corrugated iron roof.

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.
