HISTORY

"My Grandfather James (Jim) Bourke and Grandmother built this house from scratch just after the WWII. (I still have documents pertaining to the loan). My Grandfather was a foreman on the wharf and held office in the Fremantle Lumbers Union and is buried with my Grandmother in the Fremantle Cemetery. My father married my mother and raised 6 children in the house. I had a very happy childhood at this place with my two brothers and three sisters climbing the trees, looking after the chooks and getting up to general mischief under the watchful eye of conservative neighbours. The mortar between the bricks lacked lime to bind it together and my father was continually mixing cement to replace the mortar was it wore away in the 1960s and 70s probably due to post wartime shortages with rapid development. Additions to the house were undertaken about 1966 with a rumpus room added at the same time that the suburb received infill sewage. As a boy my father told me that Mr Tom Fox MLA was great friend with my Grandfather and Grandmother and lived adjacent at the end of the house block. Beyond that it was just bush!"

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)

1916 Anti-Conscription At The Port, Lunch-Hour Lecture To Lumpers. Mrs. G. Foxcroft, an attractive little lady, held a crowd of some 400 lumpers for about an hour last Monday, when she voiced a scathing condemnation of conscription. This was reported by Jack O'Neill, 158 Glyde-street, East Fremantle in “Port Pickings, The Truth, Sat 14 October 1916. (reference)

HISTORY

Christine Jill Hibben purchased this property in 2000 and did major renovations on it:

“I replaced the concrete roof tiles, removed the rear of the house replacing with a kitchen dining room and laundry. At the same time enclosed along the right side a veranda to make an ensuite and walk in robe off the main bedroom. The little area on the left side of the central room was originally another small veranda, converted to a sleep out, then I installed a window and floor to make a bedroom/office.  The ceiling centre rose and cortices of the lounge room were replaced with deco repro as the original was damaged when the roof was replaced and later collapsed. A decking was also put onto the rear. The garage was installed prior to me buying the property. Although I tried at the time I was not able to find out much of the history of the house. The block had been subdivided prior to me purchasing the property.

I was sad to leave East Fremantle as my dad was born in East St and Grandmother lived there till the early 1960s. My grandfather was a “wharfie”. I still have memories of relatives stories of their early childhood and some are still living in the area.”
