House, 22 Davies Street is a single storey timber and iron house dating from 1917. It has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock and of working people’s living conditions within the residential areas of Fremantle. The place is significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture.
House, 22 Davies street is a single storey timber and iron residence. The walls are timber framed and weatherboard clad and the roof is hipped and clad with Zincalume. The roof has a brick chimney with corbelling and extends over the verandah which is supported by chamfered timber posts. There is a flat roof carport to the side of the house and a painted timber picket fence.
