House, 9 Wesley Street, is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey house dating from 1903. 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 Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Single storey limestone, brick and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with square timber posts and decorative cast iron brackets and frieze. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. A brick chimney is intact. There is a rendered masonry fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Wesley Street was originally called Russell Street. The name was changed in 1901. House, 9 Wesley Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Celia and Bertha John were listed as the owners of the cottage. They continued to own the property, which was leased to George McDonald, until c. 1930. The cottage was then owned by Alice Langdon. Albert Smith was a long term tenant during her ownership, which lasted until 1949/50. House, 9 Wesley Street was owned by Thomas Trezona for a short time, before being bought by Antonoio Capolingua. Mr Capolingua owned and occupied the house until 1978, which was subsequently owned by Guiseppe and Nella Di Mento (late 1970s) and then Jose Chamizo (1980s).
High degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability). High degree of authenticity with much original fabric remaining. (These statements based on street survey only).
Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
