Heritage ThemesStatement Of SignificanceThis property has historical interest only as the location of a now demolished heritage place. The existing development on the site has little significance.ArchaeologyThis property has been redeveloped since the heritage elements were demolished and it is unlikely that any significant undisturbed archaeological material remains on site.ConditionHistoryThomas Street was not formed until c. 1900 and was named for Captain John Thomas, an early land owner in the area. House, 29 Thomas Street was built in 1954/55 for Athol W Griffiths. Mr Griffiths continued to own the property until 1977, followed by a succession of owners. In 1993, the City of Fremantle received an application to demolish the existing house and construct a new residence. 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 – RESIDENTIAL: Single storey residenceArchitectural StylesIntegrity/AuthenticityPlace TypeOther Built Type
