HISTORY

Kaitlyn “This site is also a sacred Noongar site, it’s a shame you haven’t also shared that, the water spring on this land is thousands of years old. Indigenous people have used the spring to train healers within their groups for hundreds of years prior to this house being built - and since it was constructed have been cut off from sacred land.” Correspondence 2023

Constructed in 1898 - of Cottesloe limestone, this stately turn-of-the-century mansion became home to some of Fremantle's most wealthy and powerful merchants was listed on the State's register of heritage places in 2000. Woodlawn was one of a number of substantial homes built in the area to reflect the power and status of the Fremantle elite who had acquired their wealth during the gold boom years of the 1890s and who moved to East Fremantle, where the ground was higher and there was access to the Swan River.
Woodlawn was built in 1898 for Samuel Saphir, who established a large general warehousing business in Fremantle. Saphir died in the same year of Woodlawn's construction and ownership passed to his wife Mary.

Within a few years the property was bought by Ernest Allnutt, director of the Fowler grocery company, and President of the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce. The Allnutt family lived at Woodlawn until 1914, when ownership passed to Herbert Locke, a Fremantle manufacturer who later became Mayor of Fremantle. The Locke family resided at Woodlawn until 1978.

Locke's daughter, Gladys Locke, was a prominent member of the Red Cross and meetings were held at Woodlawn during World War Two. Two bedrooms and the lounge room were used by the Emergency Blood Bank for the remainder of the war.

ARCHITECTURE

Inter-War Bungalow with Federation / Arts & Crafts Influences

No 44 Osborne Road is a single-storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The original house comprises of only three rooms. Two of these rooms have had their ceilings replaced. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a full-width return hip roofed verandah. The verandah returns on both sides of the house and terminates at thrust bays. The verandah is supported on timber posts with post brackets. A St Andrew’s cross balustrade spans between the posts. Works to the verandah and balustrade were carried out in the 1908s. The entry door is located on the south elevation under the return verandah. The door has a hopper light and flanked by sidelights and a roundel window. The roofscape features tall render capped chimneys and finials.
