The walls are limestone and brick quoins. The roof is hipped with a dividing parapet wall and clad with corrugated iron. The front verandah is under a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof supported by square timber posts. There is a low level rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line of no. 6 and a timber picket fence to no. 8.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875.

Duplex 6-8 Arundel Street was originally numbered 44-46 Arundel Street; the numbering changing in 1935/36 [where 6 is 46 and 8 is 44 Arundel Street]. Duplex 6-8 Arundel Street was built prior to 1898 as it is present on the sewerage plan of that date. In that plan the brick duplex has verandahs at the front and rear with small timber additions at the rear of the building. 6 Arundel Street had an additional galvanised iron outbuilding and both had closets in the back yard. The front property boundary was fenced. Occupants as listed by the Post Office directories at No. 8 included Edgar Bluett 1915, John Paddon 1920, John Lutey 1925 - 1930, James Ionello 1934-5.

The verandah has a separate hipped corrugated iron roof and is supported by ionic columns. There is a low brick wall to the front boundary.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. House, 1 Arundel Street was formerly 49 Arundel Street; the numbering changing in 1935/36. 1 Arundel Street was built between the years 1885 and 1890 for the owner and occupier James Clarke Howson. Howson was the son of shipbuilder Robert Howson who operated a boatyard and shipbuilding business from the land bound by Arundel, Howard and what is today known as the Esplanade. Robert Howson was a noted shipbuilder who was contracted by merchants J & W Bateman to build luggers for the north west of the colony. James Clarke Howson was a carpenter and it is assumed that he worked for his father at the boatyard which was located adjacent to the cottage. The cottage was originally three rooms in size but was added to in 1896 to make it a four room cottage. James Howson lived at the cottage until 1900. Subsequent occupants were John Dowell (1901 to 1902), John Avis Rattey (1903), Frank Gregg (1904), A Hales (1905), Miss Eliza Finnigan (1906), Albert Tuxford (1907 to 1913), Edward Baker (1914), Horace M Saddler (1915), Albert Bickerdike (1916), Herbert Tyson (1917), Robert C Woods (1918 to 1919) and John Alex MacGregor (1920). The 1908 sewerage plan of the building shows that at the rear of the building were two weatherboard additions and a small verandah. At the rear of the lot were a galvanised iron shed and a brick earth closet. Its relationship with the original boatyard is clearly demonstrated in this plan which shows the proximity of the boatyard in the adjacent block. A photograph taken of the place c.1980 shows that the verandah posts had been replaced and the verandah enclosed by a metal balustrade. The low red brick wall had been built on the front boundary. In July 2005, the place was for sale and a real estate photograph shows the roof cladding in good condition and front façade substantially unaltered apart from the new verandah posts.

Duplex, 11a-11b Arundel Street is a limestone and iron single storey duplex dating from the late 1890s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Duplex, 11A &11B Arundel Street is a single storey, limestone and iron house with an asymmetrical facade designed as a simple 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 front elevation has a front door and simple double hung sash windows. The verandah has a corrugated iron roof and is supported by chamfered timber posts. There is a renovated section at the front with gable end featuring timber slats and timber windows set against red face brick in sympathy with the original building.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. The following is copied from a 1993 letter from Council to Mr Morley, the then owner: It is difficult to ascertain the exact date of construction of the above due to the number of buildings on Lots 576/577. The cottages are however, shown on Water Supply and Sewerage plans dated 1897, 1904, 1908 and 1913. So it would appear that they were erected pre 1897. From a current taxation map and Land Use Survey plan (1984) No.s 11a and 11b are shown on Lot 577. This lot was vacant until 1886 and a year later a two roomed cottage was erected on half of Lot 577. The other portion of the lot was not built upon until after 1892, thereby narrowing the date of construction to between 1887-1897. On a January 1908 Metropolitan Sewerage plan, the cottages are shown at the rear of No’s 33-37, now No.s 11-19 Arundel Street. Here they appear as brick dwellings with front and back verandahs. The street numbering changed in 1935/36. It is interesting to note that half of 576 and half of 577 were owned by Captain Edward Bolt from 1887 to 1894. According to a c1970 “Daily News” article and the “Dictionary of Western Australians” volume 4 edited by Rica Erickson, Edward Bolt and his wife Hannah (1850-06/10/1934) arrived in Western Australia aboard the “Chalgrove”. Captain Bolt was at different times Commander of the sailing ships “Annie Macdonald”, “Helena Mena”, “Charlotte Padbury” and the “Tribune”. He sailed to north west ports and Rockingham carrying sandalwood, horses and cattle. Captain Bolt was fatally injured in a shipping accident in July 1894 and his widow Hannah married William Owston, a great friend and shipmate of Captain Bolt. The couple were married in Fremantle on 29/01/1895. The property passed from Mrs Hannah Owston to Margaret Ann Coleman pre 1930. Fremantle rate books show that later owners of 11B Arundel St include Calogero Raffaele, Calogero Blogna, a labourer, and Salvatore Blogna, a mechanic. This building is at the rear of numbers 13 and 15 Arundel Street. 11a and 11b adjoin each other. The number 11 Arundel Street appears to no longer exist. This place was included on the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80.

Statement of Significance

Duplex, 11a-11b Arundel Street is a limestone and iron single storey duplex dating from the late 1890s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a simple example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Duplex, 11A &11B Arundel Street is a single storey, limestone and iron house with an asymmetrical facade designed as simple 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 front elevation has a front door and simple double hung sash windows. The verandah has a corrugated iron roof and is supported by chamfered timber posts. There is a renovated section at the front with gable end featuring timber slats and timber windows set against red face brick in sympathy with the original building.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. The following is copied from a 1993 letter from Council to Mr Morley, the then owner: It is difficult to ascertain the exact date of construction of the above due to the number of buildings on Lots 576/577. The cottages are however, shown on Water Supply and Sewerage plans dated 1897, 1904, 1908 and 1913. So it would appear that they were erected pre 1897. From a current taxation map and Land Use Survey plan (1984) No.s 11a and 11b are shown on Lot 577. This lot was vacant until 1886 and a year later a two roomed cottage was erected on half of Lot 577. The other portion of the lot was not built upon until after 1892, thereby narrowing the date of construction to between 1887-1897. On a January 1908 Metropolitan Sewerage plan, the cottages are shown at the rear of No’s 33-37, now No.s 11-19 Arundel Street. Here they appear as brick dwellings with front and back verandahs. The street numbering changed in 1935/36. It is interesting to note that half of 576 and half of 577 were owned by Captain Edward Bolt from 1887 to 1894. According to a c1970 “Daily News” article and the “Dictionary of Western Australians” volume 4 edited by Rica Erickson, Edward Bolt and his wife Hannah (1850-06/10/1934) arrived in Western Australia aboard the “Chalgrove”. Captain Bolt was at different times Commander of the sailing ships “Annie Macdonald”, “Helena Mena”, “Charlotte Padbury” and the “Tribune”. He sailed to north west ports and Rockingham carrying sandalwood, horses and cattle. Captain Bolt was fatally injured in a shipping accident in July 1894 and his widow Hannah married William Owston, a great friend and shipmate of Captain Bolt. The couple were married in Fremantle on 29/01/1895. The property passed from Mrs Hannah Owston to Margaret Ann Coleman pre 1930. Fremantle rate books show that later owners of 11B Arundel St include Calogero Raffaele, Calogero Blogna, a labourer, and Salvatore Blogna, a mechanic. This building is at the rear of numbers 13 and 15 Arundel Street. 11a and 11b adjoin each other. The number 11 Arundel Street appears to no longer exist. This place was included on the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80.

Statement of Significance

Duplex, 10 & 12 Arundel Street, is a typical limestone and iron single storey duplex pair dating from c1898. 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 Arundel Street is a single storey, limestone and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone. The roof is hipped with a dividing parapet wall and clad with corrugated iron. The front verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof supported by square timber posts to no. 10 and ionic columns to no. 12. There is a low level rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line. Each duplex half has a rendered corbelled chimney.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. Arundel Street was renumbered in 1935/36; in this instance 10 was formerly 42 and 12 was formerly 40. Duplex, 10-12 Arundel Street was constructed prior to 1898, as it is shown on the sewerage plan of that date. The 1908 more detailed sewerage plan of the lot shows that the duplex had verandahs at the front and rear. Each half of the duplex had a brick closet in the rear of the property and 10 Arundel Street had an additional galvanised iron out building which could be accessed from a driveway alongside the house. Across the front property boundary was a stone wall. A photograph taken c. 1980 shows the roof of No. 10 is in better condition than the roof of No. 12 Arundel Street. A later photograph, 1985, shows that the roof of 12 had been replaced and that gates were installed at the pedestrian access to the front of the house.

History

There are two possible reasons for the naming of Arundel St. Edward George Fitzalan Howard, First Baron Howard of Glossop, 2nd son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was MP for Arundel in England from 1853-1868. Howard St joins Arundel St, both possibly named for him. The Surveyor Charles Wedge was employed by the Municipality in 1875. His wife was Frances Bethia (Fanny), nee Wrighte, and her father was Arundel Wrighte, a pioneer of Box Hill, Victoria. The cottage is on lot 576, which was originally split between two owners, as was the lot located south which has no street frontage, 577. It is not possible to determine the exact date of construction of this cottage, as the rates book records from this period, relating to these two lots, is not precise enough to enable surety. It is known that by 1880 two cottages were present and occupied by the owners William Agnew a tailor, and R Cooper a carpenter on lot 576 at the present day (2007) 11, 13, 15,17 or 19 Arundel Street. In 1884/5 the lots were transferred to Captain (Alfred or Carl) Rickers and William Owston Jnr. They occupied the existing cottages. Because Captain Rickers is later demonstrated to have been living in 19 Arundel Street it is speculated that this cottage was one of the original two on the site prior to 1880 although further research is needed to confirm this. (It is known that 17 and 19 Arundel Streets were constructed at different times.) William Owston transferred his half of the two lots to Captain Edward Bolt in 1887. By 1890, buildings on the two lots consisted of a shop and two rooms at the rear of the present day (2007) 13/15 Arundel Street; a cottage of four rooms facing Arundel Street occupied by Captain Bolt and a dwelling house occupied by Captain Rickers facing Arundel Street. Captain Bolt died in 1894 as the result of a shipping accident and his widow Hannah married the former owner of the property, William Owston, in 1895. At this time buildings on the two lots consisted of seven cottages. These were the two cottages at the present day 11a and 11b Arundel Street; and the five cottages 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 Arundel Street. Captain Rickers occupied one of the cottages on Arundel Street and owned one of the cottages at 11a or 11b Arundel Street. Mrs William Owston and Captain Rickers retained ownership of half of each lot 576 and 577 although it is not clear whether they consistently lived at any of the cottages. They leased the cottages to a variety of tenants throughout the late 1890s. Most of the tenants were associated with shipping, including labourers, mariners, lumpers, shipwrights, and customs officers. Other tenants included; a carpenter, a railway employee, a mattress maker, a lamp maker, a confectioner and a commercial traveller. Mrs Owston owned the cottages at 11, 13, 15 and 17 Arundel Street for many years and she lived at 13 Arundel Street from approximately 1899 to 1907. She died in 1934. The 1908 plan of the site shows that the site was the location of three premises; a shop and two residences. The shop was located on the front property boundary whilst the two residences were located further from the street and had front verandahs. After this time it appears that what had been three premises was amalgamated into two, one of which was remained as a shop. A plan of the site in 1984 shows that the site of 13/15 has only the building at 13 Arundel Street which has been extended to the rear. A photograph of the house in approximately 1986 shows that the site consisted of a single house at 13 Arundel Street which could have been an amalgamation of part of the former buildings. The house had a tiled roof and concrete verandah supports. There was no building at 15 Arundel Street therefore the adjoining property at 15 Arundel was built after 1986 although remaining consistent with the style of the existing building to create a duplex. Further research of the building plans may establish when this extension was added.

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.
