History

House, 22 South Street was built c. 1910 for Walter Hall. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dating from that time shows a brick cottage with a full length front verandah. There was also a full length rear verandah, a water closet half way down the back yard and a small weatherboard outbuilding set against the back fence. A right of way ran to the east of the lot giving access to the rear of four cottages in Price Street. Walter Hall owned the cottage until c. 1940. It was numbered 32 South Street during this time. By the early 1950s, House, 22 South Street was owned and occupied by Francis Moriarty. Ms Moriarty lived in the house until her death in the early 1960s, at which time ownership passed to Violet Moriarty. By 1978, the front verandah had been enclosed. By 1981, the property was owned by the Befumo family. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - YELLOW: 20th century significant buildings contributing positively to the built environment.
