History

South Terrace was formerly called Mandurah Road. It followed the line of ancient Aboriginal tracks and was the main entrance to Fremantle from the south. Mandurah Road used to continue south along the coast, but owing to shifting sand dunes, it was necessary to make a deviation to Douro Road and travel further inland. Smelting Works were established at South Beach in 1898, and the factory did much to discourage further residential development in that area. However, workers needed accommodation, and in 1903/04, six cottages were built for Thomas Norma, proprietor of the Seaview Hotel. The cottages were occupied by tradesmen and their families. The first occupants were foundrymen, a bricklayer, a driver and labourers. Smelters Robert Boyd and Charles Neilson lived in two of the cottages. The cottages were originally addressed 322, 324, 326 (Lot 18), 328, 330 and 332 (Lot 19) Mandurah Road. In 1910/11, all six cottages were purchased by Captain Frank Biddles, who had extensive property holdings throughout Fremantle. Biddles continued to own the cottages until 1941. In 1936/37, the street numbering changed to 218-230 Mandurah Road. In 1951/52, 322 and 324 (later 448 and 450 South Terrace) were owned by Albert John Collins. The remainder were owned by Ivan Garbin and Ivan Sarich. The following year, Garbin and Sarich owned all six terraces. This remained the situation until the early 1960s, when 448, 450 and 452 South Terrace (previously 218, 220 and 222) were owned by Ivan Garbin. The remainder were owned by Ivan Skender and Son. In 1979, the front verandah of Workers Terrace, 454 South Terrace, was infilled with asbestos. By 1993, the terrace had been re-roofed, but the original corrugated iron remained on the verandah roof. In 1998, an application was made to the City of Fremantle for a loft in the roof space and the construction of a separate garage at the rear (off Hickory Street) with a loft above. 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.

History

Duplex, 87 South Terrace was built in 1893. The rate book for that year registers two six-roomed cottages on the front of the lot and two four-roomed cottages to the rear. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a pair of attached commercial buildings at 87 and 89 South Terrace. Both buildings had basements and full length front verandahs to the street boundary. The residences at the rear are also shown on this plan. In 1916, Harry Higham and Frederick Hollis were the joint trustees of the rental property. When Harry died in 1917, Frederick became the sole proprietor. By 1927, the duplex pair was owned by Mary Collins, a widow. After Mary’s death in 1953, the property passed to the Public Trustees. It was then bought by Adele and Ottavia Caddinz (?sp) and Salvatore Librizzi. In 1962, there were three families living in the two residences. In 1968, the two duplexes were rated as six residential units – one on each floor of the two duplexes and another residence at the rear of each. By 1981, Palmer Holdings had commenced restoration work on the duplex pair, which later opened as South Terrace Medical Centre. The block then held six strata title professional suites – four suites in the two storey former duplexes and two in a semi-detached residence at the rear. In 1996, a medical clinic was located in 87 South Terrace and a doctor’s surgery in 89. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - PURPLE - of architectural and historic significance in its own right.

Statement of Significance

Commercial Building, 97 South Terrace is a typical single storey brick and iron row of commercial shops dating from the 1930s. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It represents the expansion of Fremantle in the early twentieth century. It is historically significant as a representation of commercial buildings in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

Commercial Building, 97 South Terrace is a single storey masonry commercial building constructed in c1930. The walls are painted rendered brick. There is a central stepped pediment. There is a suspended awning that extends over the footpath. The building is located on the front boundary line with no setback. There are recessed entries to all the shopfronts, and the corner shop has a truncated entrance. There are some modern aluminium framed windows and glass doors. Other windows have original toplights.

History

Parts of Lots 609 and 610 became a row of commercial premises that are now 93 and 97 South Terrace. In 1880, two cottages were built on Lot 610. Robert Howson and William Gresby were listed as the owners in the rate book. Edward Delaney, a warder, lived in one cottage, while a policeman lived in the other. The following year, Robert Howson, a shipwright, moved into one of the cottages and was listed as the owner of both. In 1883, the rate book listed a dwelling house of six rooms and a cottage of three rooms on the lot. In 1884, two cottages (both of three rooms) were listed as being ‘in the yard’ of the six roomed house. This continued to be the case until 1893, when three dwellings (of 7, 4 and 5 rooms) were listed, with the two three-roomed cottages behind. Robert Howson was still the owner and lived in the largest of the houses (then No. 143; later No. 95). A customs office and master mariner lived in the houses facing the street, while a railway employee and a storeman occupied the cottages behind. In 1900, an iron shed occupied by Union Stores was also listed on the lot. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows that 91, 93 and 95 South Terrace were built as attached buildings. No. 91 and No. 95 had centrally located bay windows and all had full length front verandahs. No. 95 also had a basement. There were a variety of additions and outbuildings to the rear of each lot. The rate books show that in 1909-10 there were cottages numbered 139, 141 and 143 South Terrace, and also 2 cottages at the rear. In 1915, 91 South Terrace was occupied by the Fremantle Road Board and the Fremantle Board of Health. Robert Howson continued to own the five residences until c. 1920, although he did not live there from c. 1900. He rented all of the homes to a succession of tenants. In 1923, the properties were sold to Hyem Hester & Co Ltd. By 1930, the houses had been demolished and three shops built in their place. The 1934/35 rate book lists Hercules Curwood, an engineer, as the owner of three shops at 139, 141 and 143 South Terrace (later 91, 93, 95) and two cottages at the rear. In 1950, the property was transferred to Mary Cicerello, who was still the owner of the three shops and two residences at the rear in 2010. All were leased to tenants. There was a business known as Union Stores at no. 145 South Terrace, which became an office by 1920-1. The rate book for 1930-1 shows shops at 139, 141 and 143 South Terrace, with again an office at no. 145, and 2 residences at the rear. The lot that is number 93 South Terrace is very long, and had commercial premises at the front and a pair of cottages behind. The commercial premises that are 97 South Terrace abut Howard Street and is not such a long block, there being blocks facing Howard Street. Between 1945 and 1949 the P.O. Directories show 2 ladies living separately at the rear of 91, and a range of businesses between 93 and 97. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - PURPLE - of architectural and historic significance in its own right.

Statement of Significance

Commercial Building, 219-221 South Terrace, is a typical corrugated iron single storey building dating from c 1940. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of a commercial building in the Fremantle area.

Physical Description

219-221 South Terrace is a single storey galvanised iron former wool store building now converted into residential apartments and showrooms. The building has a saw tooth roof with aluminium framed windows. A rendered masonry façade with a suspended awning has been constructed to the South Terrace side of the building.

History

By 1897, there was a four roomed cottage and workshop on the lot, owned and occupied by Mr H J Locke, a cabinet maker. By 1901, the property was listed as a dwelling and factory. In 1910, Charles Locke became the owner of Lots 84, 85 and 87 and by 1914, there was a factory and showrooms on the lot. Charles Locke continued to expand his holdings in the area by purchasing cottages on Lot 89 in King William Street. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a roughly square brick building facing Mandurah Road (South Terrace). The lot was marked ‘C & H Locke’ on the plan and there was ‘timber store’ marked at the rear of the yard. To the corner of South Terrace and King William Street, there was a long building, with a brick and weatherboard front and long galvanised iron rear. This structure was marked ‘factory’. A fire in 1925 destroyed Locke’s properties and in 1926, the factory was rebuilt (incorporating Lot 89). Another fire in 1940 meant rebuilding the factory again. The first stage of the factory was rebuilt on Lots 87, 88 and 89. A separate factory building was erected on Lots 84 and 85 in 1946. Locke’s Ltd produced furniture and bedding at the site until 1960, when it was bought by Strickland Taylor & Co. Locke and Co continued to operate at another location until the 1980s. Herbert and Charles Locke were brothers and partners in a business that eventually became Locke’s Furniture Manufacturing Company and finally Locke’s Ltd. Herbert Locke retired to a building career in 1920. Charles Lock died in 1946. In 1972, Itoh & Co purchased the property, taking over from Western Livestock. Itoh and Co were wool merchants. In 1997, the factory (then known as Wool Stores) was converted to four apartments facing King William Street and three showrooms opening onto South Terrace. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

In 1897, a single roomed cottage was built on Lot 42. It was owned and occupied by Robert Bracks, a joiner. In 1900, the cottage was owned by Margaret Spurr and occupied by David Gardener, a boilermaker. It is assumed that additions were made to the house about this time, or a new house built to replace the original cottage. In 1902/03, the cottage was owned and occupied by Mary and Oliver Burden. Oliver was a storeman. A decade later, it was owned and occupied by Juanita and Alexander Chamberlain, although the Chamberlains only lived there for about a year. They then leased the cottage to tenants for the remainder of their ownership, which lasted until 1940/41. In 1940/41, House, 10 Sydney Street was owned by Muriel Field and occupied by Peter Josephson. Mrs Field continued to own the house 1968. A number of tenants lived there over these years. Between c. 1968 and c. 1985, House, 10 Sydney Street was owned by Antonia Miragliotta. Again, it was a rental property. A plan dated 1954 shows a large brick house with a full length front verandah. The house had a weatherboard extension to one side and a small verandah on the other, as well as a weatherboard sleep-out at the rear. The grounds were extensively paved, with a path leading to the front door, a drive down the side of the house and paving between the house and a weatherboard building at the rear of the backyard. In 1985, an application was made to the City of Fremantle to restore the existing building and to build a new duplex behind. The new house was designed by Brian Klopper Architect. House, 10b Sydney Street has had a number of owners since the late 1980s.
