Heritage ThemesDEMOGRAPHIC SETTLEMENT & MOBILITY: SettlementsStatement Of SignificanceHOUSE, 169 SOUTH TERRACE, is a single storey rendered masonry dwelling that has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and surrounding area. The place is representative of the interwar era in South Fremantle.
This dwelling reflects the suburban expansion of Fremantle, which included the expansion into Beaconsfield and Chesterfield, during the Inter-War period, when economic growth and advances in transportation facilitated the development of modest worker and middle-class housing. It provides insight into the living conditions and domestic architecture of the era.
The house contributes to Fremantle’s community identity, representing a period when the area saw increased residential development to accommodate a growing population. It remains significant as part of the city’s evolving heritage and connection to its working-class
past.ArchaeologyConditionCondition assessed as fair (assessed from streetscape survey only).HistoryThe rate books show a vacant lot in 1909-10 then a cottage here in 1920-1, then known as no. 13 Mandurah Road.
