ArchaeologyConditionCondition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).HistoryHouse, 3 Grey Street was formerly 41 Grey Street; the numbering changed in 1934/35. This house was built for the owner and occupier Alexander McD Mackay in 1914/15. In 1919/20, the property was transferred to Mary Stack who also occupied the home. By 1934/35, the property was owned by Mary Jane Yench and occupied by Frederick Yench. In later years the property was owned by Frederick Johnson and occupied by Miss Myrtle Johnson, a music teacher. Another recorded resident was Victor Williams between 1945-1949. A photograph of the house in 1978 shows that the house was of brick and tile with a low brick wall on the front property boundary. Information from an article in 1996 indicates that the house had been renovated internally with a new kitchen and bathroom. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance.
