History

House, 30 Wardie Street was built in 1912/13 for Alphy Denic. The brick house had a timber extension to the rear, as shown on the Metropolitan Sewerage Plan dated 1917. Alphy’s parents, Louisa and Jules, lived at 32 Wardie Street and his sister Maude and her husband Ernest Lobb lived at No. 34. In 1923/24, the house was owned by Conrad Francis. Later owners included Albert Farrington, a hardware assistant, Stanley and Elsie Brown, and Harry and Linda Caple. A diagram dated 1954 shows a small brick house with full length front and rear verandahs. Paving linked the back of the house with detached weatherboard buildings. In 1959, plans were submitted to the Fremantle City Council for extensions to the bathroom. In 1967, plans were submitted for alterations to the front verandah, including new posts, concrete floor and new corrugated iron roof. It is not clear if this latter work was actually carried out. In 1970, a garage was built to the rear of the house. 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, 32 Wardie Street, is a typical brick and iron single storey house dating from 1915. 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 South Fremantle area. The place is very late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.

Physical Description

Single storey brick and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are face red brick. The roof hipped and half gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a broken back corrugated iron roof and supported by turned timber posts. The symmetrical front facade has a central front door and double hung timber windows either side. A brick chimney is intact. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

House, 32 Wardie Street was built in 1915. The City of Fremantle Council approved plans for a brick and stone residence to the value of ₤350 on 1 November 1915. The lot was owned by Louisa Denic (who had been born aboard the ‘Norwood’ - a convict transport – in July 1867). The cottage was occupied by Louisa and Jules Denic and their family. The Denics also owned adjacent lots at 30 and 34 Wardie Street. Their daughter, Maude, lived at No. 34 and their son, Alphy, at No. 30. In 1921/22, House, 32 Wardie Street was owned by Margaret Greasley, and in 1930/31 by Frederick Harrington. Mr Harrington owned and occupied the house until his death in 1973. Mr Harrington was a railway shunter and his ashes are interred in the Fremantle Cemetery. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick house with a full length front verandah and a centrally located front path. Ownership of the house subsequently passed to Florence Harrington, and then to Arnott Biscuits Ltd in 1989. By 1995, the house was again a residence and in that year, the owners applied to remove and replace the existing verandah.

Statement of Significance

House, 35 Wardie Street, is a typical rendered brick and iron single storey house dating from 1903. 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 South Fremantle area.

Physical Description

Single storey rendered masonry and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade constructed in 1903. The walls are painted and rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and gabled with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The half verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof which has been enclosed with a rendered masonry wall. The front facade is asymmetrical with a protruding front room. There is a low rendered masonry fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.

History

House, 35 Wardie Street was built on Lot 25 of CSL 134 in the 1903/04 rate period. It was originally No 54. (Numbering changed in circa 1935 as it did for much of the Fremantle area.) The first owner was George De Speville. In 1905/05 Harold Coe became the owner. He at first let the cottage to Edward Clarke, a driver, before moving in himself in 1908/1909. Coe then sold to Albert Edward Pady in the same rate periods. Pady occupied the place from 1909-1916, before he let it to George Lane (1916/17) then Ivy Lang (1917/18) before again occupying the place. Pady lived at 35 Wardie Street until he sold the place in 1944 to Hilda Mary and Walter John Baker. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick residence with a projecting front room and enclosed asbestos verandah on the other side of the centrally located entry. Asbestos and galvanised iron additions at the rear were linked to the toilet in the backyard by a path. The Bakers sold in 1956 to Guido Spinozzi. Subsequent owners/occupiers were Rosario Menna 1960-1964; Crescenzo Catanzaro (1964-1968); Felice Sticca (1968-1972) and Amadeu & Natalia Da Costa (1972-1974).
