Heritage ThemesDEMOGRAPHIC SETTLEMENT & MOBILITY: SettlementsStatement Of SignificanceHouse, 13 Curedale Street, is a single storey limestone and iron house dating from 1908. It has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical building stock and of working people’s living conditions within the residential areas of Fremantle. The place is significant as a fine example of Fremantle’s vernacular architecture.ArchaeologyConditionHistoryThe land on which Curedale Street and the Grosvenor Hospital are situated originally belonged to the Curedale family. George Curedale arrived in Fremantle as a convict on 1st January 1858. On 18 May 1881 George Curedale purchased 82 acres, about three kilometres from the centre of Fremantle, from Henry Maxwell Lefroy who had died two years previously. The property comprised four adjoining Cockburn Sound Location Lots and was located between the present Curedale Street, east to within 4.45 chains of Fifth Avenue and from South Street to Lefroy Street. Curedale developed the land as an orchard and vineyard. Having earned a living as ‘Fruiterer’ and then ‘Green-grocer’, George Curedale now described himself as ‘Vineyard Proprietor’ and there is evidence to show that he did import vines. The property was owned by the Curedales until 28 April 1887 when Lots 59, 60, 61 and 66 were transferred to George Alfred Davies (1846 – 1847) to clear George Curedale’s debts. George Curedale died of heart disease, on 15th August 1887. The adjoining Davies Street is named for the Davies family. Davies Street adjoins Curedale Street. A house is first recorded on this lot in 1908/9. William J Webb was the first occupant. The 1908 sewerage map (No. 87) shows a stone house with a projecting room on the right hand side at the front and central steps. The rear verandah was enclosed at each end with weatherboard, and there was another weatherboard outbuilding attached on the north west corner. The house was originally number 33, and became number 13 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937. From 1930 the owner/occupant is Henry Herbert Panton, there until at least 1949 (when post office directory records cease) The 1947 aerial photograph (Landgate) shows a square house with a hipped roof. Later aerial photos (Landgate) show that the roof was all painted red corrugated iron. The roof was replaced c1982. Between 1985 and 1995 the house was extended to the rear. Circa 2004 the separate dropped verandah roof was restored to the original red corrugated iron.Physical DescriptionHouse, 13 single storey limestone and brick quoining and a Zincalume hipped roof house constructed in the late Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
