Heritage ThemesDEMOGRAPHIC SETTLEMENT & MOBILITY: Land allocation & subdivisionStatement Of SignificanceThis property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place.

He attended Fremantle Gaol and was Superintendent at Fremantle Lunatic Asylum. Attfield married a daughter of Surveyor-General Roe. He died in Brighton UK c1923. The street was developed from the late 1890s, with the majority of the houses dating from the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 103 Attfield Street was built by 1912 when Frank Packham was listed in the rate book as the owner and occupier. Minnie and Arthur Clinton were the owners and occupiers by 1922. They owned the property until at least 1942. By 1952, House, 103 Attfield Street was owned by Frank Paparone. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a small weatherboard residence set against the northern boundary of the property. The house had a full length front and rear verandahs. A galvanised iron laundry was attached to the back verandah. The Education Department was listed as the owner in 1974. It is not known when the original house was demolished. The current house dates from the mid-1990s. During the 2019 Annual Update of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List the heritage significance of this place was reviewed and it was found that the heritage listing referred to a building or structure that had legally been demolished in the past. It also found that the existing buildings and structures on the site do meet the threshold for inclusion on the Heritage List. On 25 July 2019 Fremantle Council resolved to remove this place from the Heritage List and to change the Municipal Heritage Inventory category to Historic Record Only to record the earlier history of the site.Physical DescriptionHistoric building / structures demolished.AssociationPlace UseOriginal Use – OTHER: OtherOther Use – OTHER: OtherPresent Use – OTHER: OtherIntegrity/AuthenticityPlace TypeIndividual Building or Group
