Heritage ThemesDEMOGRAPHIC SETTLEMENT & MOBILITY: Land allocation & subdivisionStatement Of SignificanceArchaeologyConditionHistoryPamment Street is a short street extending between Thompson Road and Stirling Highway. It is not shown on an 1897 map and is first listed in the 1907 Post Office Directory. Residential development was limited to the southern side of the street until post-1940. The street was named after Frederick T Pamment, who was proprietor of the Swan Hotel in North Fremantle in the late 1890s and of the Richmond Hotel c. 1900 (located near the North Fremantle bridge; now demolished). House, 7 Pamment Street was constructed between c. 1900 and 1907 for owner, William J. Tresize. Mr Tresize was listed as the owner/occupier of the four roomed weatherboard house in 1921/22. His estate retained ownership of the property for several years after his death c. 1930. The property was purchased by John Carson in the mid-1930s, and it is not known who long he retained ownership. By 1955, the place was owned by Dunstan Lake and occupied by Ivor Ridgeway. Ridgeway subsequently purchased the property and retained ownership until the late 1970s. The place has had several owners since that time. A 1939 plan shows 7 Pamment Street as being a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and a number of outbuildings attached to the rear. Subsequent diagrams show that the footprint of the building changed little before it was demolished c. 1994. The c. 1900 cottage was replaced with a single storey commercial and two-storey residential development. The place had been 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.
