ARCHITECTURE
Late Inter-War Bungalow with Arts & Crafts/ Modern Influences
No. 73 Fortescue Street is a single-storey house constructed in limestone and brick with a hipped and tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned; with a central flat-roofed verandah situated between two thrust bays. The verandah is supported on square columns. The thrust bays feature sets of casement windows. There is an offset front door flanked by casement windows. The brick walls sit on a limestone foundation.
The place retains its basic form and details, however, there are additions to the rear and a garage to the south. The place is consistent with the building pattern in the Precinct and it plays an important role in the pattern of development of a middle-class suburb.
HISTORY
Research on the history of this property is currently under way by the Museum of Perth in partnership with the Town of East Fremantle.
