History

House, 200 South Terrace was built in 1903/04 for I W Smith and occupied by James Henry Smith. Sheds and stables were built at the same time. James Smith subsequently became the owner of the property and occupied it until at least 1920. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows a stone residence with a front verandah and a small back verandah and bathroom. The stables and sheds were built along the rear boundary. Circa 1934, the property was purchased by Ivan Yurisich, a migrant for Yugoslavia. Paul Prizmich was the owner between 1940 and the mid- 1970s. The house has had several owners since that time. By 1954, a brick garage had been built at the front of the house and there was a large brick addition to the rear, and a smaller brick laundry. There was also a well in the backyard and galvanised iron stables were still against the back fence. Plans for alterations were submitted to Fremantle Council in the 1950s. A swimming pool was built in 1978. By 1993, a separate three bedroom home had been built behind the house. 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.
