History

During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site

Archaeology

This property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.

History

This is not the fifth of any avenues or streets. Speculation is that the ‘Fifth’ is for George V, who, as the Duke of York, visited the state in 1901. This was the time that the owner, Simpson, called his land the Duke of York Estate. A street nearby is York St. The land on which house 14 Fifth Avenue stands was vacant in 1915/16 and owned by James Healy. In 1917/18 the vacant lot changed ownership from Healy to Charles Harold Dwelly. Ownership of the lot changed again in 1918/19 from Dwelly to Arthur McBride who had a weatherboard and plaster cottage built. In 1920/21 Constance Wilson became the owner/occupier and was still residing in the house in 1940/41. The house was originally numbered 13 Fifth Avenue and was renumbered to the original number in the mid1930s. The house is on Lot 10 of CSL 62 and 67.

History

Hale Street was originally Healy Road. The name changed to Hale in 1956 /57 possibly to avoid confusion with Healy Road in Hamilton Hill. It is also possible the street was named in honour of two Fremantle brothers and leading athletes, Edgar and Vernon Hale. Edgar was killed in WWI, while Vernon died as a result of wounds received during WWI, on his return to Fremantle but it could also be named after . In 1898 the Rates Books list John Healey as the owner of the vacant Lots 49 and 50 upon which 30 Hale Street now stands. In 1899 Lot 49 is still vacant and owned by the estate of J. Healy but Lot 50 is owned by W. Ferguson (stoker) who is occupying a cottage on the property. In 1900 Lot 50 is owned by James Winefield (labourer) and John Pallot (PO Official) and a second cottage has been constructed on the lot. It is assumed that the second cottage is the existing limestone residence at 30 Hale Street because it is partially built on Lot 49 which is now also owned by John Pallet. At this time Lot 49 is described as vacant. Metropolitan Sewerage maps from 1908 shows the outline of the 1900 limestone cottage which is numbered 48 Haley Street. The backyard of house is fenced and there are are stables at the rear. A small brick and galvanised iron building standing against the northern side boundary may be the 1899 cottage. A fence separates the two cottages. Lot 49 is vacant except for the portion of the 48 Healy Street which extends into it. Later sewerage maps from 1936 show little change except that the house has been renumbered from 48 to 30 Healy Street.. Lots 49 and 50 changed hands several times and then it is owned and occupied by Rachel and Daniel Hale from the mid 1930s until the mid 1960s. In the mid-1950s Healy Road has its name changed to Hale Street. It may have been named after Edgar and Vernon Hale who were related to Rachael and Daniel Hale. In 1986 Silvana Grassadonia’s heritage report “19th Century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle identified historic limestone features on 30 Hale Street, walls lining the northern side boundary and part of the eastern rear boundary and a limestone outcrop in the north east corner. In 1995 consent was given for a two storey brick and tile additional grouped dwelling. 1995 Lots 49 and 50 amalgamated in preparation for the redevelopment of the properties. In 1996 a two storey brick and tile house was constructed facing Hale Street next to the 1900 limestone residence. Then the amalgamated site was subdivided into two lots. Lot 100 contained the 1900 limestone residence and a strip of land running along the rear ROW which had been renamed Delamere Lane. Lot 101 contained the newly constructed two story house. Lot 101 was given the street address 32 Hale Street. Towards the end of 1996 Lot 100 was sub-divided by a strata survey into three lots, one containing the 1900 limestone residence and the other two smaller lots facing the ROW. Two, two-storey brick and tile houses were built on the rear lots and these became known as 3 and 5 Delamere Lane. In 2011 a two storey extension was constructed at the rear of the 1900 limestone residence.
