The land was transferred to James Roe (Perth Journalist), then to George Frederick Gallop (Fremantle Clerk) before being purchased by a group of gentlemen in 1897. William Edward Marmion, James Grave, Edward Keane, Edmund Gilyard Lacey and Frederick Charles Monger immediately subdivided the land for residential development and the lots were gradually taken up between 1897 and 1913. The origin of the name Jackson Street is not known. Jackson Street was developed as a short street running east-west between Pearse Street and Queen Victoria Street (near the present junction with Stirling Highway). The houses built in Jackson Street were generally modest brick, stone or timber cottages for people working in the area. Many of the houses were investment properties leased to tenants. With the development and expansion of Fremantle Port, the zoning for the area changed from residential to general industrial purposes. In 2004, Jackson Street continues to be a residential street with most homes occupied by their owners. A 1940 sewerage plan shows the site of 14 Jackson Street as a vacant lot.Physical DescriptionHouse, 14 Jackson Street is a single storey house, and is likely an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture, as for the rest of Jackson Street. A high rendered brick wall and prolific vegetation in the front yard prevents further description of the front elevation. The roof is hipped and clad with zincalume. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bull nose roof supported by timber posts.AssociationPlace UseOriginal Use – RESIDENTIAL: Single storey residencePresent Use – RESIDENTIAL: Single storey residencePresent Use – RESIDENTIAL: OtherIntegrity/AuthenticityHigh degree of integrity (original intent clear, current use compatible, high long term sustainability).
