Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical single storey house dating from the inter-war period.. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area. Has undergone significant alterations but original form remains intact.
The single storey house is rendered with ashlar effect and has a terracotta tile hipped roof. The roof has a brick chimney, a half timbered gable and extends onto the verandah which is supported by timber posts onto rendered pillars. There are two storey additions to the rear of the house. The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape South Street; 75-77, 79, 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86,87, 88, 90, 91, 94, 98, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 114, 140 & 142.
