HISTORY

1912 By the death of Mr. J. A. E. Humble, which occurred at his residence East Fremantle, Fremantle has lost one of her foremost and best respected citizens... The deceased gentleman, who was a son of Major George Bland Humble, was born in Fremantle in 1857. He received his first education at the port, and later was a scholar at the Geelong Grammar School in Victoria. At the age of 15 he entered the service of the National Bank of Australasia, and after filling various positions was finally appointed accountant in the Perth office. He remained with the bank until 1895. In that year he left the service, and together with Mr. W.A. Payne, he established the firm of Payne and Humble, accountants and Customs agents, at Fremantle. Mr. Payne was a fellow-worker of Mr. Humble in the bank service. The partnership existed right up to the time of the latter's decease. Mr. Humble enjoyed the esteem of a vast number of friends. He was associated with several organisations during his career, and though of a somewhat retiring disposition, his unfading courtesy and generous nature won for him a large measure of popularity. For many years he was an active member of the Fremantle Rifle Volunteers and was one of its most notable shots. When he retired several years ago he occupied the rank of Major. As the secretary to the Fremantle Building Society, Mr. Humble came into contact with hundreds of people, and in this, as in his other business connections, he was ever of a nature courteous and likeable. The bowling world, too, will suffer a loss through his decease. He was a member of the East Fremantle and Fremantle Bowling Clubs. He also took an active part in the affairs of St. John's Church. A widow and three children survive him. (reference)

No 21 Angwin Street is a two storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a gambrel, hipped and gable tiled roof. There are extensive modifications and additions. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is asymmetrically composed with an irregular plan. A hip roofed verandah wraps around the front façade. The verandah spans both storeys and is supported on timber posts. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the posts. The central section of the verandah has been extended west. A particular feature of the house is its richly decorative roofscape with gables, finials, decorative fretwork and render capped chimneys. Sets of casement windows are arrayed over the front façade. The place is located on a steep sloping site and addresses the river. As a result the elevation to Angwin Street is largely ignored.
The place retains its form and most of its details. There are additions to the front, rear and side of the house. There is a garage to the east.
