7-11 Phillimore St (was 17-19 pre 1938)
This is a two storey building corners Phillimore and Cliff Sts, with zero setback from the pavement. There is a highly decorative parapet and four decorative pediments; the name 'Phillimore Chambers' appears across the corner pediment and in an entrance aedicule in Phillimore Street. There are engaged pilasters dividing the building into bays. The ground floor has multi paned transom lights above the windows; the first floor has decorative pilasters between double sash windows.
The building was designed by Wilkinson, Smith and Wilson, architects, in 1899.
1934 The Friends of the late Mrs. Annie Caroline Coates, of W. J. Coates, Paper Rulers and Bookbinders, Phillimore-street, Fremantle, and of 112 Hampton-road, Beaconsfield, loved mother of Rita, Norman and Wallington (Wally), are respectfully informed that her remains will be interred in the Anglican portion at the Fremantle Cemetery… (reference)
1937 The steadily growing business of W.J. Coates, manufacturing stationers, paper rulers and book-binders, is being transferred from premises at the corner of High and Mouatt streets to larger premises at Woolworth Buildings, Adelaide street. This centrally situated building has been entirely remodelled and a lift has been installed. Founded in 1922 by the late Mr. W. (Joe) Coates, the business is conducted under the personal management of the sons of the founder, who have had extensive experience in the trade. (reference)
