25924 Workers' Homes Board Precinct, 23-31 Alma St, Fremantle
House, 27 Alma Street, is a typical rendered brick and iron single storey house dating from 1916. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is simple example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
27 Alma Street is a single storey, rendered brick and iron house with an asymmetrical facade designed as a simple example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are rendered brick. The roof is hipped and gabled and clad with corrugated iron. There are two face brick corbelled chimneys. There is a protruding front room with two double hung sash windows and an awning over. Adjacent is a verandah under a continuous corrugated iron roof supported on masonry columns and piers. The verandah has been partially enclosed with glazed louvres. The front garden is grassed with no fence to the front boundary line.
27 Alma Street was formerly 97 Alma Street. Numbering changed in 1934/35. The house was built after 1908 as it is not shown on the sewerage plan of that year. It is first listed in the Post Office Directories in 1916 and the occupant was John Sheridan. The cottages at 23 to 31 Alma Street were all built in the same year. A photograph of the house taken c. 1980 shows that the house was in good condition. The roof was corrugated iron and the walls were rendered. The front verandah was partially enclosed with louvres and brick. A cyclone mesh fence is located on the front boundary and a timber garage was located in the back of the property.
Medium to high degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). Medium degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining but with some alterations.
