Limestone Feature(s) |
The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.
Limestone front wall
Thomas Street was not formed until c. 1900 and was named for Captain John Thomas, an early land owner in the area.
House, 25 Thomas Street was built in at some stage after 1955. It was built on the site of an earlier house that had been built c. 1934 for Alice Every. In 1939/40, House, 25 Thomas Street was owned by The Four Square Gospel Church and occupied by Bartholomew Daly. Between c. 1944 and the early 1950s, the original house was owned and occupied by Dorothy Nicholls.
The existing house was built for Guido Patroni, who continued to own it until the early 1970s. House, 25 Thomas Street has had a number of owners since that time.
This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986.
