Statement of Significance

Duplex, 35-37 Malcolm Street is a good example of an attached pair of stone residences dating from the period of expansion of Fremantle in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.

Physical Description

Duplex, 35-37 Malcolm Street is a single storey stone (partially painted & rendered) and brick attached pair set above the level of the pavement, and possibly with a basement level. The terracotta tile hipped roof and verandah is probably not original, however the original form appears to be intact. This building forms a group with 31-33 and 39 Malcolm Street.

History

Malcolm Street was named for Sir Malcolm Fraser, the Commissioner of Lands and First Agent General for Western Australia in London (1892). The land on which 35-37 Malcolm Street stands [Pt 3 of 902] was vacant in 1885 and owned by Alexander Berg, a bootmaker. In 1887 one cottage appears on Lot 902 and is owned/occupied by William Thorpe, a fruiterer. In 1890 there were two four room cottages, one owned/occupied by Thorpe and the other by Thomas Howson, a carpenter. By 1895 Thorpe owned both six roomed cottages and in 1900 there were five cottages on the lot all owned by Thorpe. In 1905/06, the house was numbered 59 Malcolm Street and was owned by the Executors of William Thorpe. The resident was Thomas Armstrong, a warder. By 1910/11 ownership had changed to Annie Thorpe and Godfrey Kemp was the occupant. Ownership had changed again by 1915/16 to J G Buckholz who was the owner until at least 1925/26. Buckholz had several tenants including Godfrey Kemp (1915 – c. 1921) and John Henry Jackson (1925/26). The street number changed in the mid1930s to the current number. Sydney Victor Eaton had become the owner by 1930/31 and retained ownership until at least 1940/41. His tenants included James Edgeley (1930/31) and Oscar Karl Hillberg (1935/36 – circa 1940/41). In the rate period 1945/46 ownership transfers from Stanley Herbert Marlow to George Francis Burke, Frederick George Burke and Thomas Burke. The occupant was Frederick Young. In 1951/52 George Ernest and Rose Elizabeth Luckwell become the owner/occupiers.
