The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.ArchaeologyConditionCondition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).HistoryThe area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 18 Hulbert Street was constructed in 1898/99. In 1899, the property was owned by Jane Fleming, a widow, and was occupied by Mrs Lawson and her five children. The family lived elsewhere between 1900 and 1912/13 and the house was let to a number of successive tenants. In 1901, Austin Stapleton, a smelter, lived in the house. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows a very small weatherboard house on the lot, with a small verandah at the front and rear. Mrs Lawson retained ownership until 1949/50, when it was sold to Stanley Curtis. The following year, it was sold to Edward Baldon. It was sold again c. 1964, this time to Mary Robbins, who lived in the house until c 1975. By 1971, when Miss Robins applied to build a new toilet, there had been several additions to the rear of the house accommodating a bathroom, store and laundry. The house has had a number of owners since c. 1975. A two storey addition was later added to the rear of the property. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also 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.
