Historic/Archaeological Site

Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.

History

Adelaide St is one of the earliest streets of Fremantle, appearing in the 1833 survey. It is named for Queen Adelaide, consort of William IV.
Fremantle rate books show that the first owner from 1886 was William Dockray Jackson, who arrived in WA c1840. He was a Rottnest Island Pilot Boat Captain and Superintendent of the island from 1867-1885. Jackson died in 1897.
In 1898, Jane Elizabeth Martin ran the building as a boarding house. The owner by 1903-04 was Maud Jackson, daughter of Captain Jackson.

Subsequent owners were WA Trustees (1907-11), Dr Martell (1921) who ran a Doctor’s surgery, Dr Martell & H.H. Field (1923), Guglielmo Giacone and Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition (1951), who ran the building as a Lodging house (1962). In 1964 Edward Robert Connolly joined ownership with the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition.

In 1968 the original building was demolished, and a shop was built by Edward Robert Connolly. Occupants since then include Ernest Robert Beech & Enid Goldsmith (1968), Hair Cosmo (1984-85) and Ferrari Formal Suit Hire (2008).

Current building dates from 1968.
