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.

History

Thomas Street was not formed until c. 1900 and was named for Captain John Thomas, an early land owner in the area. House, 29 Thomas Street was built in 1954/55 for Athol W Griffiths. Mr Griffiths continued to own the property until 1977, followed by a succession of owners. In 1993, the City of Fremantle received an application to demolish the existing house and construct a new residence. 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

House, 14 Walker Street was built c. 1900. In that year, James Leheny, a carpenter was listed as the owner. Arthur Bryant, also a carpenter, was the occupant. This situation continued until c. 1910, when the property was bought by George McDonald. A diagram dated 1954 shows a weatherboard cottage with an ‘L’ shaped plan form. The cottage had a full length front verandah and paths linked the rear of the house with a large galvanised iron building in the backyard. George McDonald was the owner and occupant until his death c. 1960, after which title to the property passed to Fanny McDonald. Mrs McDonald continued to own the house until 1975 and the property has had a number of owners since that time. 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) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.

History

House, 15 Walker Street was built in 1925/26. There had been an earlier cottage on the lot, built c. 1903. In 1905/06, a cottage, stables and shed were listed as being on this and the adjacent lot (Lots 39 and 41). The property was owned by James Dallas and occupied by John Branch, a cabman. Only a shed was listed on the lots in 1915/16. They were recorded as being vacant in 1920/21, at which time Lot 39 was owned by John Coram. The rate book records that a house was built on the lot in 1925/26. Mabel and James French were listed as the owner and occupants until 1944/45, when the house was sold to David Burton. George Miller was the owner in from c. 1952 until c. 1965, when the house was bought by Barbara West. House, 15 Walker Street was occupied by a number of tenants during this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows a typical South Fremantle cottage with full length front and rear verandahs. The back verandah was noted as being enclosed. Centrally located paths led from the street to the front of the house, and from the back door to the rear of the lot. A galvanised iron garage was located in the rear corner of the backyard. Ms West sold the property in 1975 and the house has had a number of owners since that time.
