The place is a good example of a stone residence in the Federation Queen Anne style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
House 11 Solomon Street is a two storey stone rendered with ashlar effect and a steeply pitched Colorbond gabled roof. There is a bull nosed verandah supported by timber posts. The original windows and doors are probably not extant. The front fence is iron railings with rendered masonry piers. The house is located on a sloping site that drops away from the street, with a lower second storey at the back. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in June 2009 by Heritage and Conservation Professionals for a DA submission to Council (DA94/09) for an addition to an existing rear balcony.
Solomon Street was originally known as Mary Street, gazetted in 1905. It changed its name in 1951/52 to honour Elias Solomon, a Fremantle merchant and politician who built a house and lived in this street. Solomon was a Town Councillor 1878-1880, 1883-1886, Mayor in 1889-1891, 1896-98 and 1900-01. He was a state parliamentarian, MLA for the seat of South Fremantle 1892-1901, then transferred to Federal Politics with a seat in the House of Representatives from 1901-1903. Solomon was the first Member for Fremantle in the Federal Government. A dwelling was present at 11 Solomon Street in 1903/04 and it was occupied by Robert Laurie, a master mariner. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in June 2009 by Heritage and Conservation Professionals for a DA submission to Council (DA94/09) for an addition to an existing rear balcony.
