The Fremantle Smelting Works was established in 1898. The smoke stack, a valuable aid to navigation, was demolished by the United States Navy in 1942. The site was later occupied by Bradford Kendall Foundries Pty Ltd (next to the Robb Jetty Freight Terminal). Research to date has not located any information on use of the site as a holiday campsite.

86 Marine Terrace (was 89 pre 1938)
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.
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.

Notre Dame University ND22 - Court House
Lot 1383 (Crown Land) on Marine Parade
The Courthouse was built in 1883 by builder J.J. Harwood and Sons for the Public Works Department. The cruciform building has massive walls, up to 60 centimetres thick, and cells in the basement. The large portico, of three arches with a large pediment, is reminiscent of the Palladian style.
It was the Colony's third courthouse, officially opened by the Governor of WA in July 1884 and used until June 1899.
Opinion of the Herald, 28 April 1883: To put the Court House in the position decided upon is to seperate the public offices, and helps to perpetuate that detached system of house building which renders Perth and Fremantle the ill-looking towns that they are… (reference)
1899 The Acting Resident Magistrate Mr James Lilly: His thoughts reverted to the original court-house on the Old Gaol Hill, at the foot of High-street, to reach which they had to climb up a steep flight of steps. They had thought they were very well off when they got the building fronting South Bay, but that in its turn proved inadequate to the requirements. (reference)
This building was used by the Uniting Church for some years.
1996- As part of the development of its Law School, Notre Dame University obtained as a gift from the State Government (arranged by the Minister for Education, Mr Colin Barnett) the former Fremantle Courthouse adjacent to the Drill Hall. It was restored and converted into a Moot Court... The decision of the Western Australian Coalition Government led by the Premier, Richard Court, and supported by all the Labor Opposition (with consequential amendments in 1996 to UNDA’s Act of Parliament), to give the University access to State low interest loans for approved capital works. This important initiative, introduced to Parliament by the Minister for Education, Mr Colin Barnett, on 9 May, 1996, was a major step forward in the capital development and expansion of UNDA’s Fremantle Campus. (In a sense, the measure was put forward as a replacement for the previous State Government’s unfulfilled commitment to UNDA of a land endowment grant.) (reference)
