History

House, 192 South Terrace was built between 1895 and 1900. In 1901/02, the cottage was owned and occupied by Alfred Nelson, a labourer. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows that the houses at 186, 188, 190, 192, 194 and 196 South Terrace was of similar plan form. All were stone houses of rectangular shape with a projecting front room (rectangular) to the south, with full length front verandahs and centrally located front paths. It would appear that all were built with a bathroom attached to the rear. House, 192 South Terrace had a variety of weatherboard additions to the rear, and paths led from the back of the house to a separate galvanised iron outbuilding located half way down the backyard. By 1930/31, House, 192 South Terrace was owned by Nellie Mahon and occupied by Annie Scott. At this time, it was numbered 226 Mandurah Road. Edwin Balzan owned the house in the 1950s and Antonio Palmiotti in the 1960s. Both lived in the house during their period of ownership. By 1981, House, 192 South Terrace was owned by the De Giovanni family. 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.
