Statement of Significance
The place is a modest example of a commercial building dating from the first decades of the twentieth century that forms part of a group of similar places and makes a contribution to the Fremantle Town Centre streetscape.
Physical Description
Two storey rendered building which has an engaged low wall balustraded parapeted roof, engaged pilasters and decorative stucco surrounding the first floor windows. The ground floor windows and awnings are not original.
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.
The first time this building appears in the rate books is in the 1909/10 rate period. The building is owned and occupied by Walter Fisher Beard and is described as shop and rooms. From 1910 to 1928 the building was owned by Beard who operated Fishers, Beard & Co Drapers from the premises. The shop was also known as Fremantle’s 'Big' Drapery Emporium.
In 1929 Charlie Carters Grocers began operating from the building and were still doing so into the 1980s. The front of the building was partially demolished in 1986 when the owners Charlie Carters Pty Ltd carried out renovations. However the shop front was not original but had been built in the original style.
In October 1992 the owner Serenity Holdings applied to the Fremantle Council to upgrade the shop front of the existing supermarket to create two commercial tenancies; a chemist and a retail/variety store. This included the repainting of the existing façade and the removal of the existing window frontage to create an open shop front whilst retaining the existing awning. This was supported by council. The hope was that the upgraded shop front would reflect an 'old world' character and allow for greater interaction between the open shop front and the footpath.
The building was originally numbered 25 - 29 but changed to the current number circa 1936. The building is part of Lot 332.
