ARCHITECTURE
Federation, Domestic Carpenter Gable Cottage
No. 84 (previously was no. 158) Glyde street is a single storey cottage constructed in timber framing and fibrous cement cladding with a gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style that has been adapted. Part of the verandah has been enclosed with fibrous cement cladding. The front elevation was symmetrically planned but is now asymmetrical. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah supported on timber posts. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by side lights.
HISTORY
1916 Anti-conscription letter:
"White Livers" Endorsed By Billee Hughes. The wicked walk in slippery places in war time, but barking with the biggest dog seems to pay the best divs., judging by the paunch and prosperous appearance of the average fatriotic fugleman for Fat. But a due discrimination must be used even when howling for the modern brand of freedom. Were it not for the fact that freedom of speech is only a vague memory in the Commonwealth, and that the hand of the censor lies heavy on the land, the preemptive rights held on the political principles of various Australian politicians would have been shouted from the house-tops long ere this. The fatal facility of the average unthinking citizen to imbibe his political beliefs from his daily paper, and the not unnatural impulse of a gregarious animal to run with the biggest, or noisiest mob, is undoubtedly responsible for the wave of lip-loyalty now sweeping over the Commonwealth. The training and experience of politicians, and other public men have taught them to make use of this receptive trait to influence the votes cast by the electors. It will be interesting to watch the effect of the present Pluto engineered campaign for conscription in this State when taking into account the strong revulsion of feeling that has taken place on the question in the Eastern States. (J. O'Neill, 158 Glyde-street, East Fremantle). (reference)
