History

This area of South Fremantle was part of a five acre grant made to Captain John Bruce of the Pensioner Guards in 1851. The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. House, 13 Rose Street was built between 1900 and 1907. It is shown on a Metropolitan Sewerage diagram dated 1907 as a brick house with a projecting bay window on the eastern side of the facade, and a full length front verandah. The front boundary was separated from the street by a substantial fence and there were several outbuildings in the rear yard, including a toilet and stable. Ida Fabricuis owned and lived in the house from c. 1910 until the 1930s. In the 1950s, it was owned by Rosina Tomba, who lived there for a few years before leasing it to a tenant. Madelino & Giacomo De Palma were the owners of House, 13 Rose Street from the 1960s into the 1980s. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
