William Angwin's house
3 Glyde Street, East Fremantle (previously 15 Glyde Street)
Federation / Federation Gable Domestic Carpenter
Angwin House is located at 3 (previously 15) Glyde Street and is a single-storey cottage constructed in timber framing and clad in rusticated and feather-edged weatherboards. It has a hipped and gabled, corrugated-iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central front door and side and hopper lights flanked by bay windows.
This house was the home of William Charles Angwin (8 May 1863 – 9 June 1944) and his family from 1909 until 1936. He was born in Cornwall, England, and worked as a carpenter and builder before moving to Australia with his wife Sarah Ann Sumpton, (first to Victoria in 1886 and then to Western Australia in 1892). He first worked as a carpenter for Sandover & Co. He had two sons and two daughters. Angwin was a founding member of the East Fremantle Municipal Council on which he served as a councillor for 30 years and Mayor from 1902 until 1904. He was also a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly for the Labor Party from 1904 until 1927, representing the seats of East Fremantle and North-East Fremantle.
