22 Hubble Street — Streets of East Freo

ARCHITECTURE

Federation, Georgian Influences

No. 22 (previously was no. 42) Hubble street is a single storey house constructed in timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and double hung sash windows. The facade features a full width bullnose roofed verandah supported by square timber posts. There is a St Andrew’s cross balustrade between the timber posts.

HISTORY

1934 Mrs. J. Stoddart (Prize winner for “Bright Ideas”); prize of Two Linen Tea Towels goes this week to Mrs. J. Stoddart, 22 Hubble-street, East Fremantle whose entry is as follows: Picnic Assets: A canvas bag, with a handle, in which to carry the billy when it is dirty is a useful help at picnic time. Aspirin bottles with holes pierced in the tops make handy salt and pepper shakers for picnics. Economical Cot Sheets. Bags in which hams are packed may be bought cheaply from most growers. When unpicked, hemmed and well boiled they make economical and serviceable cot sheets. To Destroy Ants. A sure method of destroying ants outside the house is to pour petrol on the spot; then, after taking due precautions, set it alight. A Handy Iron-Stand. Tack a piece of board, cut to shape, to the back of an asbestos mat. It will then prevent the table from being scorched, also the surface of the iron from being scratched. To Keep Cakes Fresh. A method of keeping cakes fresh for at least two months is to pack them, while still hot from the oven, in brown sugar. (reference)
