Municipal Inventory	YES	14 Oct 2000	Historic/Archaeological Site	Historic/Archaeological Site Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.

History

The Timber duplex cottages date from 1893. There are very few timber duplex cottages remaining, Council have previously accepted the cultural significance (23/11/92) of this duplex cottage. The weatherboard cottages were constructed in 1893 for Messrs RH and J J Holmes and originally occupied by Eliza Jane Bellairs (widow) and Bernard Griffin (carpenter). Robert Hardy and Joseph John Holmes, together with brothers William and George established the meat purveyor firm of Holmes Bros. in Fremantle and Perth. The Fremantle business was located in High Street (lot 424) in 1892 and they later set up a chain of butcher shops in the suburbs and Coolgardie. Both Robert and Joseph took a keen interest in public affairs, Robert serving as a member on Fremantle District Roads Board (later Cockburn Council), 1895-1908. Joseph Holmes served as a Fremantle Councillor 1893-1898 and a member of Parliament. The two brothers were still listed as owner of the property in the 1920/21 rates recor
