Two storey rendered corner building with a zero setback to the pavement. There is a simple parapet and stucco architraves surrounding the arched sash windows.
All the buildings in this group have historic significance and association with the Bateman family who were involved in the shipping industry in Fremantle in the nineteenth century.
The original owners, the Bateman family, arrived from England in 1830. John Bateman supplied provisions for the Swan River colony until his death in 1855. By 1859 his sons, John and Walter Bateman were the colony's leading importers and exporters, with their own fleet of sailing ships.
J & W Bateman's hardware and plumbing supplies, warehouses, etc occupied both sides of Mouat St through to Henry St (lots 37-38 Mouat St, lots 50-54 Mouat St and lots 67-72)
