Level 3

The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of some cultural heritage significance for its contribution to the heritage of Fremantle in terms of its individual or collective aesthetic, historic, social or scientific significance, and /or its contribution to the streetscape, local area and Fremantle. Its contribution to the urban context should be maintained and enhanced.

Statement of Significance

Aesthetic significance as one of a group of brick residences in the Federation Queen Anne style probably built in the first decade of the twentieth century. Historical significance representing the increased wealth following the Gold Boom.

Physical Description

Single storey roughcast rendered walls and tile (probably not original) hipped roof and two brick chimneys with corbelling, house. The façade features two projecting bays which have French doors. There is a zincalume bull nosed verandah supported by turned timber posts and remnants of balustrades. Nos 2, 4, & 6 Hale Street form a significant group of houses which were originally built to a similar style. These places reflect individual changes and contribute to the streetscape of Hale Street.

History

Hale Street was originally Healy Road. The name changed to Hale in 1956 /57 possibly to avoid confusion with Healy Road in Hamilton Hill. It is also possible the street was named in honour of two Fremantle brothers and leading athletes, Edgar and Vernon Hale. Edgar was killed in WWI, while Vernon died as a result of wounds received during WWI, on his return to Fremantle.
