The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of considerable cultural heritage significance in its own right within the context of Fremantle and its conservation is a priority.

Statement of Significance

The place is a good example of a stone residence in the Victorian Georgian style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.

Physical Description

Single storey stone with rendered quoining walls with a zincalume hipped roof, house. The dropped verandah returns on the west side and is supported by timber posts. There are additions to the rear of the house.

History

The house was built in 1896/97 for William Augustus Bateman, grandson of John Bateman and founder of J and W Bateman. William Bateman was the "Father of Aussie Rules" in Western Australia and had a market garden in Melville.
