Statement of Significance

The place is a good example of a rendered masonry residence in the Federation Bungalow style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the Post World War I period. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered and terracotta tile hipped roof house. The roof extends over the verandah which is supported by rendered piers. The timber double hung sash windows are extant.

History

Ellen Street was named for Ellen Mangles of Woodbridge, Surrey, England, wife of Sir James Stirling, the Governor. A cottage was built on the site in 1918/19 for Louisa Marks. The first occupant was Richard Marks.
