Statement of Significance

Commercial Building, 26 Tydeman Road is a typical simple brick commercial building utilised for commercial / light industrial purposes. It is representative of the typical commercial building stock located within the commercial areas of North Fremantle. Historically significant as a representation of commercial buildings in the North Fremantle area. Not yet adopted by Council.

Physical Description

Commercial Building, 26 Tydeman Road is a single storey brick and iron commercial building constructed over two building phases. The brick building facing Tydeman Road was built sometime after 1961, while the portion along the northern boundary was originally constructed prior to 1897. The available evidence would suggest that the original bakehouse was either demolished or is contained within the more recent structure. Walls are face brick to the 1961 building and painted brick to the 1897 building. The roof to the 1961 building is flat metal deck, whilst the 1897 building has a flat section and two gabled sections. Both buildings are contructed hard up to the site boundaries.

History

Tydeman Road runs west to east between Port Beach Road and Stirling Highway. It is a major arterial road taking traffic from the beachfront to the major through roads of Stirling Highway and Queen Victoria Street. This street has had several name changes over the years. Originally known as Pensioner Road, the street was renamed John Street in 1913 after Fremantle councillor, W John (1885-1891). The section of road west of Stirling Highway was renamed Tydeman Road in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of the reclamation of the river foreshore. The name changed again in 1968 when a new street was created as a result of reclamation of the river foreshore between Stirling Highway and Bruce Street. The name Tydeman was chosen in honour of Frank Williams Edward Tydeman, General Manager of Chief Engineer of the Fremantle Port Authority. The street was originally residential on the northern side with industrial uses occupying the southern side of the road. In 2016 the 1897 place is used as a second hand furniture store and the 1961 place is a panel beaters.
