House, 13a Lefroy Road, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from 1904. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.
Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed 1904. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The half verandah is under a separate bullnose corrugated iron roof. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room with a timber window. Under the verandah is the front door and a timber framed window. There is a rendered brick fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. The garden and fence partially obscure views to the house.
Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). House, 13A Lefroy Road was built in 1903/04 for Annie and Thomas Williamson. Thomas was a carrier. The Williamsons continued to live in the house until c. 1935 and in 1937/38, the house was owned by Catherine Lowry and occupied by James Porteous. Irene Hicks owned and occupied the house in 1950/51. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 13 Lefroy Road as a brick house with a projecting front room with a half-length front verandah. A small weatherboard building was located in the rear yard at this time. The house shared the same plan form as the adjacent residence at 15 Lefroy Road. Between the late 1950s and early 1970, House, 13A Lefroy Road was owned and occupied by Angelo and Levino D’Ercole. The house has had a number of owners since that time. The house number changed from 13 to 13A Lefroy Road c. 1988.
