Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical timber framed single storey cottage with attached shop dating from the first decades of the twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.
Single storey timber framed and weatherboard clad house with a masonry ashlar effect rendered shop, fronting the street. The house has a zincalume clad gabled roof with a timber finial and a rendered chimney with corbelling. The shop has a skillion roof. The weatherboard façade of the original house remains intact within the shop space.
Agnes St was gazetted in 1906. By 1900 a house was constructed on the site and owned by Wm W. Dobson. The house numbering has changed over the years. It was originally No. 37 Agnes Street until changing in the mid 1930s to No. 11. It then changed during the 1960s to No. 15. The sewerage map of 1908 shows a narrow and relatively long weatherboard house with a verandah built across the front. The house changed ownership many times, however by 1938 the house included a shop and was used for mixed business, owned by Albert Baudain. Within two years the property was owned by Mary Baudain and then changed ownership again by 1942. A 1984 maps show where the shop is situated with a nil setback to the street.
