Statement of Significance

House, 6 Rose Street, a single storey house constructed dating from the 1908 with tuck pointed brick walls and a hipped and roof has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value as a typical example of an Federation Bungalow that contributes to the quality of its setting along Rose Street and the surrounding area; the place has some historic value as an early twentieth century residence that demonstrates the settlement and development of the Fremantle area, and; it is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area.

Physical Description

6 Rose Street is a single storey tuck brick and iron house built in 1908 and designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are tuck pointed red brick. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron and extends over the verandah which has a continuous corrugated iron roof supported on timber posts with decorative timber brackets. The timber paneled front and door and timber framed double hung sash windows are extant. There are single storey recent skillioned roof additions at the rear of the original house and a gazebo and small in ground pool and a ROW. To the front there is a high limestone and horizontal timber infill front fence built to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Oct 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed two storey additions and alterations to the existing house.

History

This area of South Fremantle was part of a five acre grant made to Captain John Bruce of the Pensioner Guards in 1851. The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. House, 6 Rose Street was built in 1907/08 for Francis Kestel, a local builder. The Kestals had five children and the family moved from James Street, Fremantle, to Rose Street in 1905/06. They first lived in No. 4, and then from 1909 to 1912 lived at No. 6. They also occupied No. 8 for a brief period. Although not confirmed, it would appear that Kestal was a modest developer, and may have built the houses at 6 and 8 Rose Street himself. A diagram dated 1907 shows House, 6 Rose Street as a square building, with the front half built in brick and the rear in galvanised iron. The house was well set back from the street and had a full length front verandah and several galvanised iron outbuildings in the rear yard. By 1913/14, the cottage was owned by Charles Morriday. The following year, it was occupied by George McCallum. Between 1916/17 and c. 1920, the cottage was owned by Ethel Brooker. In 1921/22 it was owned and occupied by Alfred and Charlotte Barwicks. Mrs E Turner purchased it a year later and owned it until the early 1930s, when it was sold to Allan Scott. Mr Scott owned the property until at least the early 1950s. In the 1940s, stables were also listed as being on the property. In 1961, the City of Fremantle Health Inspector described the house as a brick and iron dwelling comprising six rooms with tongue and groove floors. 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.

Statement of Significance

House, 8 Rose Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from 1912. 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

8 Rose Street is a single storey, brick and iron house with an asymmetrical façade built in 1912 designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are face brick. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. There is a projecting bay with double hung sash windows. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by turned timber posts with timber frieze. There is a projecting gabled porch area over the front door. The house is situated at street level and there is a rendered masonry and iron wall to the front boundary line.

History

This area of South Fremantle was part of a five acre grant made to Captain John Bruce of the Pensioner Guards in 1851. The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. House, 8 Rose Street was built in 1912 for (or by) Francis Kestel, a local builder. The Kestals had five children and the family moved from James Street, Fremantle, to Rose Street in 1905/06. They first lived in No. 4, then from 1909 to 1912 lived at No. 6. They occupied No. 8 for a brief period after it was built. Although not confirmed, it would appear that Kestal was a modest developer, and may have built the houses at 6 and 8 Rose Street himself. In 1913/14, the house was sold to George and Annie Pyle, who continued to own the property until the late 1910s. In 1919/20, the house was owned and occupied by Edward Brooks, whose family continued to own it until the mid-1970s. A sewerage diagram dated c. 1915 shows House, 8 Rose Street as a large brick house with a square bay window to the west and a full length front verandah wrapping around to half the length of the eastern side of the house. A verandah extended across the rear of the house, and was enclosed on the western end with galvanised iron. At this time, the property was numbered 18 Rose Street. In 1975, House, 8 Rose Street was bought by Alross and Donald Whittington. Don Whittington was a Fremantle Councillor from 1975 to 1983 and served as Deputy Mayor from 1981 to 1983. Trained as a lawyer, Don Whittington later had a herb and spice importing business in South Terrace and a stall at the Fremantle Markets known as “Culpeppers”. A modest addition comprising a new kitchen and store was built to the rear of the house in 1977. 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.

History

This area of South Fremantle was part of a five acre grant made to Captain John Bruce of the Pensioner Guards in 1851. The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. Terrace, 9 Rose Street was built in 1897/98 for Richard Cooper. It was one of three terraces numbered 5, 7 and 9 Rose Street. A sewerage diagram dated 1907 shows the three terraced cottages. At this time they were numbered 27, 25 and 23 Rose Street. Each had a full length front verandah and a weatherboard addition at the rear. A substantial fence lined the front boundary of the property. Richard Cooper leased the three terraced cottages to a succession of tenants. In 1924/25, ownership passed to Violet Atwell, who continued to own the property until at least the early 1950s and also leased the cottages to tenants. She also owned the house at 3 Rose Street during this time. In 1986, the property was owned by Guiseppe Landro. The cottages at 5 and 7 Rose Street and the House at 3 Rose Street were in separate ownership by 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.

Statement of Significance

Duplex 10 & 12 Russell Street is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey duplex pair dating from c 1890s. 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

Duplex 10 & 12 Russell Street is a single storey limestone, brick and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone and brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The front verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof supported by square timber posts with a decorative iron frieze. There is a rendered masonry and metal wall to the front boundary line. Rendered chimneys with pots are evident.

History

Duplex 10-12 Russell Street was formerly numbered 40 and 42 Russell Street; the numbering changed in 1935/36. The direction of the street numbering also changed thus 10 was 42 and 12 was 42. Fremantle harbour works plan of 1898 has the building. From the available information in the Post Office Directories this pair of houses was built in the 1890s however it is plausible that they were built early and at different times. Further research of the rates books and certificates of title for this period would establish the date of construction and the owner of buildings. Information provided in a real estate article state that the property was built c.1886. The 1908 sewerage plan of the site shows that this duplex or attached pair have front and rear verandahs across the full with of the buildings.

Statement of Significance

House, 12 Scott Street, a single storey house constructed c1903 with timber framing has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area; the place has some historic value as an early twentieth century residence that demonstrates the settlement and development of the Fremantle area, and; it is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The front infill verandah, additions and outbuildings are of little significance.

Physical Description

House, 12 Scott Street is a single storey timber framed asbestos and clad cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1903. The form of the original house is evident although the place has been largely altered including the recladding from the original weatherboards and corrugated iron roof. The chimneys and windows are no longer extant. Currently (2009), the walls are painted asbestos and painted corrugated asbestos or iron to the gabled front. The roof is hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated asbestos. The skillioned roofed verandah is under separate corrugated clad roof with square rendered timber posts and has been enclosed with windows and asbestos sheeting. There is a concrete hardstand area in front of the house leading to the front entrance with timber door and fanlight above. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Dec 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed demolition and removal of the western part of the enclosed front verandah, the skillioned roof additions at the rear of the house and all the rear structures and outbuildings. It is intended to conserve and retain the original four roomed house and construct single storey additions and a studio at the rear.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 12 Scott Street was built between 1900 and 1905 for Walter Herrington. Daniel Gleeson, a ganger, was the first occupant of the cottage. Patrick Murphy owned and occupied the cottage from c. 1910 until his death c. 1930. It was then owned by his estate for a period, before being passed to Thomas, Michael and Mary Murphy. Mary Murphy lived in the house until c. 1940, after which time Michael Murphy was listed as the occupant. Michael Murphy (then the sole owner) sold the property to Joseph Maffina c. 1960, who retained ownership of the house as a rental property until c. 1970. The house has had a number of owners since that time. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 12 Scott Street as a simple galvanised iron building with no front verandah. At the rear of the house were asbestos sleep-outs either side of the back verandah. 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. In 1979, the front verandah was enclosed on both sides of the entrance door. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in Dec 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed demolition and removal of the western part of the enclosed front verandah, the skillion roof additions at the rear of the house and all the rear structures and outbuildings. It is intended to conserve and retain the original four roomed house and construct single storey additions and a studio at the rear.

Statement of Significance

House, 14 Scott 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 use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.

Physical Description

Single storey weatherboard and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1898. The walls are painted patterned weatherboard. The roof hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The half verandah is under separate bullnose corrugated iron roof with square timber posts and a timber balustrade. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a limestone fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust. House, 14 Scott Street was built in 1898 for the Back family. The four roomed cottage was first occupied by Thomas Munor, a clerk. Back was a storekeeper and customs agent. A diagram dated 1954 shows the house as being weatherboard. It had a projecting front room with a half-length front verandah and a centrally located path linked the house with the street. The house also had a full length rear verandah. In 1981, the owners proposed alterations and additions to the existing house. These comprised the addition of a new kitchen, bathroom and family room at the rear (under a traditional ‘lean-to’ verandah). The additions were completed in 1982. By 1996, the façade had been clad with ‘limestone block’ cladding, although the original weatherboards were still visible on the sides of the house. This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on: 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. It is not known when the limestone fence at the front of the house was built.
