Statement of Significance
Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.
Physical Description
The place is a single storey limestone house with brick corbelling and a corrugated iron hipped roof with a half timbered gable over a bay and two chimneys extant. The dropped verandah is supported by metal columns which are probably not original.
The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape of South Street; 121, 123, 125, 127, 134, 135, 139, 143, 147, 148, 148, 149, 150, 151, 153, 153, 156, 157, 159, 161, 162 & 168.
History
Solomon Street was originally known as Mary Street, gazetted in 1905. It changed its name in 1951/52 to honour Elias Solomon, a Fremantle merchant and politician who built a house and lived in this street. Solomon was a Town Councillor 1878-1880, 1883-1886, Mayor in 1889-1891, 1896-98 and 1900-01. He was a state parliamentarian, MLA for the seat of South Fremantle 1892-1901, then transferred to Federal Politics with a seat in the House of Representatives from 1901-1903. Solomon was the first Member for Fremantle in the Federal Government.
Lot 12 & pt 8 of 7 is recorded as containing a shed in 1910 and a cottage and shed in 1915. Physical inspection indicates that the house was built prior to this date.
