Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the first decades of the 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.
Single storey stone and tile (probably not original) hipped roof house. There is a rendered chimney with corbelling and 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 Edmund Street; 112, 117, 119, 125, 127, 128, 129, 130, 132, 133, 134, 135, 137, 139, 141, 149, 154, 155, 161, 162, 164, 167 & 169.
Edmund Street was named for Sir Edmund R Fremantle, a nephew of Sir Charles Fremantle the founder of the city. Edmund served with Sir Charles as Flag Lieutenant from 1858 – 1861. He died in 1929 at the age of 93. Edmund Street was gazetted on the 25 May 1922 and was previously known as Marmion Road.
This lot was vacant in 1900. Rate books record a cottage on this lot (18 of 37 of 7) by 1904/5. The owner/occupier was Robert Dixon, a Bus proprietor.
