Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Level 3	Level 3 The City of Fremantle has identified this place as being of some cultural heritage significance for its contribution to the heritage of Fremantle in terms of its individual or collective aesthetic, historic, social or scientific significance, and /or its contribution to the streetscape, local area and Fremantle. Its contribution to the urban context should be maintained and enhanced.

Statement of Significance

Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey stone cottage dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.

Physical Description

Single storey stone and brick quoining walls and a Colorbond hipped roof house sits on a hill above the street level. The roof extends over the verandah which has been partially enclosed (probably not original) and two rendered decorative chimneys.

History

Hale Street was originally Healy Road. The name changed to Hale in 1956 /57 possibly to avoid confusion with Healy Road in Hamilton Hill. It is also possible the street was named in honour of two Fremantle brothers and leading athletes, Edgar and Vernon Hale. Edgar was killed in WWI, while Vernon died as a result of wounds received during WWI, on his return to Fremantle.
The house was constructed on lot 48 CSL 223 in 1921 for the Milbourne family at a cost of £600. The residence changed from number 50 to 34 between 1956 and 1960.
The house remained in the Milbourne family until 1995. For an oral history transcript of the life of Albert J. Milbourne see the Local History Collection.
