The Fremantle Church of Christ, 217 High Street and Manse, 219 High Street, has historic and social significance to members of the local Church of Christ parish in the Fremantle community.
Single storey stone and corrugated asbestos gabled roofed church fronted by a rendered entrance.
High Street was named by Surveyor General Roe - as was customary in English towns, the main street of the town was named High Street. Eastward from William Street the roadway was completed by convict labour after the Town Hall was built in 1887. High Street around the Town Hall closed to traffic in 1966. The High Street Mall was trialled in November 1973 and made a permanent pedestrian mall in 1975. The land on which the Fremantle Church of Christ stands was vacant in 1895 and owned by W. S. and George Pearse. The Church of Christ first appears in the 1898 rate book, indicating this is the date of construction. The Church is No 217 and the Manse is No 219.
The Fremantle MHI management category for this place was amended and adopted by the decision of Council on 28/09/2011.
