Statement of Significance

Aesthetically significant as an example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture. Typical timber framed single storey cottage dating from the first decades of the twentieth century. Historically significant as a representation of working people’s living conditions in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

Single storey timber framed and weatherboard clad walls and a zincalume hipped roof house. The roof extends over the verandah which is supported by timber posts.

History

The house at 32 Watkins Street was constructed before 1901. It is timber with a corrugated steel roof. The lot number has changed and is not identified in earlier rate books. About 1985 it was declared unfit for human habitation by the health and Planning Department. Soon after, the house was repaired and advice sought on demolition and / or renovation. It would appear that some renovation has taken place since then. Notes made in 1985 say that demolition would not be opposed. On file at the Local History Collection: Notes from Brian Klopper architect in June 1985 with a plan for renovations.
