139-141 South Terrace is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical facade built c1900 and designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof. The front doors with fanlights are adjacent to each other and both have modern security screens. There is a timber and wire fence to the front boundary line together with proliferate foliage making further description difficult.
Duplex, 139 South Terrace was built c. 1900 for John Bateman, a local merchant and land developer. The duplex was built at the same time as its pair, 141 South Terrace. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a pair of long, narrow brick cottages at 139 and 141 South Terrace, with full length front verandahs, short rear verandahs and various attached rooms at the rear. The duplex pair were rental properties for many years. Fred Instone owned them in the early 1930s, and Peter Samios was the owner from c. 1945 until at least 1981. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
