House, 81 Marmion Street, is a single storey timber and zincalume house dating from 1904. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock located within the residential areas of Fremantle. It is historically significant as a representation of typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
House, 81 Marmion Street is a single storey timber and tile house constructed as a simple example of the Federation Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with painted timber boards. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with tiles. The gable has a decorative timber border.
