86 Marine Terrace (was 89 pre 1938)
Architecture
84 & 86 Marine Terrace is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron duplex pair with a symmetrical facade built in 1897 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a continuous corrugated iron roof and is supported by timber posts and the adjoining rendered masonry wall. The front doors have fanlights with a double hung sash window off to each side. There is a high wall with rendered masonry pillars and timber pickets and brick infill to the front boundary line making further description difficult.
History
Duplex, 84 Marine Terrace was built in 1897, along with its pair at No. 86. The cottages were built for James Manning and were originally numbered 83 and 85 Fitzgerald Terrace. After Manning’s death, title to the properties was transferred to his trustees. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows 84 and 86 Marine Terrace as a mirror pair of relatively large brick cottages. Both had full length front verandahs and weatherboard additions with back verandahs to the rear. The backyards were separated by a fence. By 1906/07, the cottages were owned by Jane Raine, and they remained in the Raine family until c. 1930. The property changed hands several times in the 1940s and 1950s. Owners included Stanley Marlow, a plasterer; Florence Newman and James Greig; and Archibald and Muriel Dunn. The Dunns owned the duplex pair from 1951 to 1975 and they have had a few owners since that time. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
