House, 13 Lilly Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from c 1905. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
13 Lilly Street is a single storey, brick and iron house built c.1905 with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are red brick. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with side and fanlights and double hung sash windows with sidelights. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof supported on turned timber posts with decorative timber brackets. There is a corbelled brick chimney evident. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s.
House, 13 Lilly Street was built between 1905 and 1908. Prior to this, there was a ‘weatherboard room’ on the lot. In 1900, the room was owned and occupied by James Garey, a tailor.
The 1912/13 rate book listed Arthur Johnson as the owner and occupied of a cottage on the lot. By 1922/23, Arthur Hopkins was the owner and occupier. Mr Hopkins was a waterside worker and he lived in the house with his wife, Jessie. After Arthur’s death in the early 1960s, Mrs Hopkins continued to live in the house for several years. In 1966, she added a bathroom and toilet to the rear of the house.
Circa 1968, House, 13 Lilly Street was sold to Michele and Lenka Cicanese and then on to Leonardo Piromalli, who was still the owner in the early 1990s.
