Commercial Building, 75-79 High Street, is a two storey brick building dating from the 1920s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape. The place is a simple example of the Inter-War Stripped Classical style of architecture. It is historically significant as a representation of typical commercial building stock located within the commercial areas of central Fremantle.
Two storey rendered and painted brick building with unadorned parapet and pediment. The first floor has five timber sash windows with stucco banding across the façade. The ground floor has a tin awning over the shopfronts, suspended by metal tie rods. Shopfront have been altered.
Jenkins & Co shop from 1929. Alterations carried out in 1946. Currently (2002), Commercial -Retail Store (Terrace). Owners (2011) advised much of the building dates from post World War Two and the 1970s & 1980s.
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with some original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).
