History

Before Mills & Ware and Italian pastry cook was established on the site. The Ross Confectionary Company was on the site in the late 1880s. Mills & Ware started in the 1950s. The West Australian reported in May 1993 that the Mills & Wares site will be named the Biscuit Factory Village under a $12 million redevelopment plan, converting the factory site to a 40-home complex as well as warehouse style apartments and a commercial wing. It reports that the 24 000m2 site closed the previous year (1992). The development will include a 40 lot residential subdivision (on the factory’s car park), 5 studio apartments, 5 townhouses, a cafe/restaurant, a medical sports centre and retail shops. The original flour lofts (at 21 Jenkin Street) would be converted featuring some of the original architecture. A 6 metre jarrah water tower on the site was contentious.

Statement of Significance

The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.

Statement of Significance

House, 20 Wesley Street, although has been modified, is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey house dating from 1903 has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place has some aesthetic value as a Victorian Georgian style of architecture and for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area; the place has some historic value as an early twentieth century residence that demonstrates the settlement and development of the South Fremantle area, and it is representative of the typical workers’ houses in South Fremantle area. The rear 1980s additions and landscaping are of little significance.

Physical Description

House, 20 Wesley Street was built between 1900 and 1905. This single storey house has a symmetrical façade and has been constructed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoining to the corners and the door and window openings. Render which was not original, has been removed from the masonry. The roof is hipped with no eaves and the original corrugated iron cladding has been replaced with corrugated zincalume. There is only one chimney extant towards the rear. The verandah which was constructed between 1978 and 1994 is under a separate iron bullnose roof with square chamfered timber posts and brick paved floor. A photo from 1978 shows a skillion roofed verandah extending from the hipped roof however it is unlikely that the skillion was the original form of the roof either. The render has not yet been removed above the bull nosed verandah; during this process there is the potential for further physical evidence to guide the proposed reconstructed gables. The front façade is symmetrical with a central timber panelled front door and timber framed sidelights and fanlights which have stained leadlight glass. There are two faceted bays with three timber framed double hung sash windows either side of the entrance. There is a rendered masonry and timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind. The fence partially obscures the view to the house. The two storey weatherboard clad walls and zincalume clad hipped roof additions at the rear of the house date from the late 1980s and are not significant. On the northern boundary there is a limestone block single garage and laundry addition, also not original. A Heritage Assessment was prepared in July 2009 by the City of Fremantle for a DA submission to Council for proposed conservation and reconstruction works, as well as a number of minor modifications to the existing additions at the rear of the dwelling.

History

Wesley Street was originally called Russell Street. The name was changed in 1901. House, 20 Wesley Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Elizabeth Efford owned the cottage which was occupied by George Nathian, an accountant, at that time. Elizabeth then moved into the house with her husband William and they continued to live there until 1929/30, when the house was sold to Herman Bake. Mr Bake lived in the house for several years, before renting it to tenants. Between c. 1944 and c. 1970, House, 20 Wesley Street was owned by Iveo Medin and continued to be a rental property throughout this time. John Frow and Christine Alvai owned and lived in the house form the mid-1970s until c. 1990. The house has had a number of owners since then. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also 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.

Statement of Significance

House, 61 Wray Avenue, is an early limestone and iron single storey house dating from c1850. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the early workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is a rare example of the Colonial Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

61 Wray Avenue is a single storey, limestone and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed as simple example of the Colonial Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The front elevation has a two doors and simple double hung sash windows with timber shutters. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by simple square timber posts with a timber cross balustrade. The edge of the verandah sits on the front boundary line.

History

Wray Avenue was originally Hampton Street. The named was changed to avoid confusion with the intersecting Hampton Road. It became Alexander Road, after Laurence Alexander, Mayor 1901-1902, and a representative of Falk & Co. The street name was again changed to avoid confusion with Alexandra Road in East Fremantle, and became Wray Avenue in 1923. It was named for William E Wray, at one time with the Education Dept as Truant Inspector, and a resident of the street. He was on the Fremantle Tramways Board and Mayor of Fremantle, 1914-1918. House, 61 Wray Avenue is also referred to as 59 Wray Avenue and appears to have at some time been a duplex with the numbering of 59/61 Wray Avenue. Previously the property was known as 135 and 137 Alexander Road. The cottage was built c.1850 for retired sea captain John Tapper. The building was constructed from stone and brick, which came from ballast aboard one of the first fleet ships. The random rubble construction of four rooms was rendered and originally would have had a shingle roof. Information from a later assessment indicates that the building had a cellar. John Tapper used one side of the house for storage, particularly grain, and the remainder of the building was used as his family home. The property remained in the Tapper family until approximately 1978. A plan of the site in 1908 shows the building had a verandah across the full width of the front of the building and an ‘L’ shaped verandah at the rear. A galvanised iron structure adjoined the rear verandah. Behind the cottage was a timber closet and well back from the main house, close to the rear property boundary was a stone building with a verandah facing away from Wray Avenue. This was most likely to have been a separate residence. Two small galvanised iron structures were located close to this building. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Purple: "Of architectural and historic significance in its own right.”) A photograph of the house at this time shows that the house was in relatively good condition with original doors and windows and a timber verandah floor. Renovations and extensions were undertaken on the property in the early 1980s. An assessment of the building in 1985 by ‘the Fremantle Society’ records that the original bullsblood-red paint could be discerned on the balustrading and beams. It was also noted that the verandah at that time was a replacement of the earlier verandah style which was separate to the main roof.

Statement of Significance

Terrace, 66-70 Wray Avenue, is a typical limestone, face brick, and iron single storey terrace dating from c1880, that has been later converted to a single residence. 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 Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Terrace, 66-70 Wray Avenue is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron set of three terrace houses that have been altered to be one single storey residence. The building has a symmetrical facade and was designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by timber posts with decorative timber brackets and a timber balustrade. Several brick chimneys remain intact. There is a high rendered masonry and iron wall to the front boundary line and a new double garage of limestone brick and iron also at the front boundary line making further description difficult. The building is set well back from the street.

History

Wray Avenue was originally Hampton Street. The named was changed to avoid confusion with the intersecting Hampton Road. It became Alexander Road, after Laurence Alexander, Mayor 1901-1902, and a representative of Falk & Co. The street name was again changed to avoid confusion with Alexandra Road in East Fremantle, and became Wray Avenue in 1923. It was named for William E Wray, at one time with the Education Dept as Truant Inspector, and a resident of the street. He was on the Fremantle Tramways Board and Mayor of Fremantle, 1914-1918. Terrace, 66, 68 & 70 Wray Avenue was formerly 74/76/78 Wray Avenue; renumbering occurred in approximately 1930. The sequence of development of this group of terraces is difficult to establish as the rates book for this early period do not distinguish clearly the individual buildings on the lot. From the available information it is apparent that in 1880 the first recorded building on the lot was a four roomed cottage owned and occupied by Enrolled Pensioner Guard Benjamin Shemelds. Shemelds (b.1832, d.1909) was formerly a Corporal in the 73rd Regiment. By 1890, there were two cottages on the lot, which may have been a duplex, one owned by Shemelds and the other by carpenter Godfrey Dixon. At this time the cottages were occupied by Dixon and carpenter John McNeece. McNeece subsequently became a prominent Fremantle architect. The number of buildings on the lot gradually increased during the 1890s and by 1894 there were seven cottages on the lot. The owners were Shemelds, Mary McNeece and Godfrey Dixon. It is claimed in some of the available sources that the terraces were completed in 1887 following the incorporation of some of the earlier buildings into a single building. It is possible that John McNeece was responsible for the creation of the terrace design. Numbering of the cottages as 74/76/78 is clearly stated in 1909 when the owner is Mary McNeece and the occupants were recorded as Elizabeth Johnson, Hastings and Edward Godsell. A plan of the site in 1907 shows that the brick terrace consisted of a single cottage and a duplex with an adjoining wall. The whole building had a verandah across the front façade. At the rear of the building was a verandah but it had an irregular form on the duplex side. A timber stable was present in the rear of the lot as were two timber closets and a galvanised iron closet. Mary McNeece continued to own the cottages and lease them throughout the 1910s and 1920s. By 1931, the property was owned by Donald McDonald and he continued to lease them to tenants. By 1951, the owners are recorded as Hilda May and Peter Oliver Smith. They also continued to lease out the individual cottages. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Purple: "Of architectural and historic significance in its own right.”) By 1984, the building had been altered and extended by architect Brian Klopper to create one residence and a self contained flat. In 2001 the place was used as bed and breakfast accommodation. Sources indicate that the self contained flat had been subsumed within the main dwelling by 2002 to create a master bedroom and separate study. In 2006, it was noted that a basement was evident below the main part of the original duplex and the bathroom had been extensively renovated.
