House, 46 Lilly Street, is a typical rendered masonry and tile and iron single storey house dating from c 1902. 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.
46 Lilly Street is a single storey, rendered masonry and iron house built c.1902 with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door and double hung sash windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on steel posts. There is a low level brick wall 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, 46 Lilly Street had been built by 1904/05, although no occupant was listed in the rate book for that year. Ernest Roeman was the owner. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows a brick residence with a full length front verandah. It had a very similar plan form to the house next door at No. 44.
By 1912/13, the cottage was owned by Mansfield (who also owned No. 44 Lilly Street) and occupied by Taylor.
Alexander Anderson was the owner in 1922/23 and John Anderson in 1932/33. The cottage was rented to tenants during this time.
Harriet and George Chamberlain were the owners and occupiers of House, 46 Lillly Street from c. 1940 until the early 1950s, when ownership was transferred to Eunice Chamberlain. May Chamberlain lived in the house at time although by the early 1960s, Eunice was the occupant. Circa 1950, Edna also owned and occupied the house next door at 48 Lilly Street.
House, 46 Lilly Street has been owned by the Rugnetta family for many years (who also owned 48 Lilly Street).
