[[../people/samsonwilliamfrederick.html|William Frederick Samson]]'s house was built c. 1855-1857 on Lot 6, the SW corner of [[../westend/cliff.html|Cliff]] and [[../westend/high.html|High]] Streets, diagonally opposite the [[../hotels/fremantlehotel.html|Fremantle Hotel]]. Demolished by Elder Smith in 1954-55, the site was from 1976 part of the Marina Village development. The site is now a carpark owned by NDU who planned a new building for it, but the proposal was not accepted.

[[File:Freotopia fhs fs 6 img reece5.jpg]]

William F. Samson's House, Cliff Street with the offices of [[../newspapers/herald1.html|''The Herald'']] on the left. City of Fremantle, Local History Collection, 1435.

Town Lot 6 was granted 5 September 1829 to Edward Barrett-Lennard. [[../people/dixonwilliam.html|William Dixon]] was the licensee, in 1830, of the George IV Public House, which was on the SW corner of High and Cliff Streets. A house on the lot was later occupied by W.F. Samson c. 1881-1900. (Lambert)

[[File:Freotopia buildings img samsonwfhouse4753.jpg|samsonwfhouse]]

We have an exact date for this Fremantle Library photo no. 4753: 27 October 1900. The [[../hotels/p&o.html|P&O Hotel]] (1901) has not yet been built; nor has [[dalgetybondstore.html|Dalgety's warehouse]] (also 1901). Samson's house is towards the right, next to the police station, the building on the front right of the photograph. Fremantle Library caption:

Photo taken by Frank Mousley from the [[roundhouse.html|Roundhouse]], looking east along High Street. On the left side is the Union Bank and the Hotel Fremantle. On the right side is the two storey house belonging to W.F. Samson, on the south west corner of Cliff and High Streets, and on the opposite corner of Cliff Street is the Bank of NSW. Taken 27 October 1900.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img policestation1038.jpg|police station]]

The rear of W.F. Samson's house is near the centre of this c. 1901 photo, taken probably from the Round House steps. On the right is the police station. Samson's house faces the 1899 Bank of NSW, beyond which Owston's buildings have not yet been built, tho the P&O Hotel is now prominent near the centre of the photo. The Fremantle Hotel is diagonally opposite the house, still with its spire. The tramway carbarn will replace the police station within five years. FHC photo #1038 with this caption:

The railway line is in the foreground with Dalgety's Building, completed November 1901 on the left. The architect was J Talbot Hobbs. Beyond is the [[../hotels/fremantlehotel.html|Hotel Fremantle]] (1898) and in the centre background is the [[townhall.html|Town Hall]]. The turreted building on the right of the Town Hall is the [[../hotels/p&o.html|P&O Hotel]] (1901). At the front left [sic: should be right] is the Police Quarters, demolished in 1905 for the Tramways Car Barn. Beyond this are the home and garden of W F Samson and the Bank of New South Wales (1899).

[[File:Freotopia buildings img samsonwfhouse1888.jpg|samsonwfhouse]]

Fremantle Library photo no. 1888 (cropped) taken 1905 by George Keane showing the front of WF Samson's house. Caption:

The western aspect of High Street. The Whalers Tunnel surmounted by the Round House. The jarrah paving blocks are being removed for the laying of the tramlines. Note original type of electric lighting adopted for central area. W.F. Samson's home (1885-1887) at left, Tramways Carbarn (1905), Dalgety's (1901), Union Bank (1889) [the last two cropped out].

[[File:Freotopia buildings img tram2141.jpg|trambarn]]

The police station has been replaced by the tramway carbarn in 1905, radically changing the view from the back of WF Samson's house. Fremantle Library photo no. 2141 with this caption:

Tram No 2 entering the car barn on opening day (first day of Tramways service). On the right are Owston Building (1903), Bank of NSW, corner High and Cliff Streets and the rear of the Samson home, Cliff Street. Horse drawn lorries are in the foreground by the railway tracks. Taken 30 October 1905.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img trambarn990A.jpg|trambarn]]

In 1976, FHC photo #[http://cdm16702.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/myfirst/id/1248/rec/1 990A], taken by Noel Doyle, shows that Samson's house is long gone, and the trams are no longer running. Both the Fremantle and P&O Hotels have lost their spires. (Why? Can they be put back, please?) Here's the FHC caption:

High Street looking East: on the rightfront is the Carbarn built in 1905 for the Fremantle Municipal Tramways and Electric Lighting Board. Next is the vacant lot which is the site of W F Samson's home, c1885-1955. These two properties were at the time of the photo being incorporated into the Marina Village development. Also on the right is Owston's Building, built on the site of the old Sandovers premises in 1903 and the original Bank of New South Wales, built 1899.

Since then, the Samson site has been cleared and is used as a carpark. The carbarn retains its facade, with new commercial premises on the ground floor and four floors of new Marina Village apartments above that.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img cliffhigh.jpg|cliffhigh]]

What the site looks like in late 2016. Tramways facade with new apartment complex to the right, Liebler facade to the left. Notre Dame University plans to develop the site, with a five-storey building including a theatre, a bar/cafe, and a function centre/exhibition space.


=== New Uni Plans ===

Stephen Pollock, ''Fremantle Herald'', 7 October 2016

THE university of Notre Dame is planning a new building on the south west corner of Cliff and High Streets, home of Fremantle’s famous “Wedding Wall”. 
They will reveal their plans at an information session on Monday, 3.30pm at Fairweathers, the old Fremantle Hotel diagonally opposite the proposed site. 
The university told the Chook it would keep the facade (which is frequently draped in bridal parties lining up for wedding snaps), but were keeping tight-lipped on any other detail.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img samsonwfhouse2.jpg|samsonwfhouse]]

William Frederick Samson’s house was built on the proposed site in 1855. 
It was demolished by Elder Smith in 1954 and from 1976 onwards was part of the Marina Village development, and these days the site behind the wall is a carpark. 
The Mediterranean Shipping Company recently opened its well-received new HQ on Cliff Street, a few doors down.


=== Notre Dame Plays Height Hardball ===

Stephen Pollock, [https://heraldonlinejournal.com/2016/11/18/notre-dame-plays-height-hardball/ ''Fremantle Herald''], 18 November 2016

NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY is playing hardball over the height of its planned $17 million nursing and midwifery school in Fremantle’s West End. 
Next week the uni will submit a proposal to Fremantle council for a five-storey school at the south-west corner of Cliff and High Streets, despite the town planning scheme only permitting four storeys in the heritage precinct. 
When the five storey plan was first unveiled at a public meeting last month, Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt said the height would be 'challenging' for council, but after consulting with the WA Heritage Council the university has decided to press forward.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img samsonwfND.jpg|wfND]]

'There are very few scenarios where we approve that sort of height in the West End,' says Dr Pettitt. 'But we take every case on its merits and will have to look at how far the fifth storey is set back. 
'I know city officers were concerned it could be visible from the street and we’ll need to look at that very closely.' 
The upper floors of the planned building will be home to the nursing and midwifery school and the ground floor will include a 200-seat theatre, a small cafe/bar on High Street, and retail on Cliff Street, accessible through the heritage 'Wedding wall' facade. 
Notre Dame released its controversial plan on the same day WA heritage minister Albert Jacob announced that Fremantle’s West End would be added to the state heritage register to provide more protection.

Fremantle Council has put pages with drawings of the proposed building [http://mysay.fremantle.wa.gov.au/3-high-street/photos/31535 here]. Note that the drawings show the spire on the top of the Fremantle Hotel - which was [removed many years ago - giving a false impression of height relationships.

[[File:Freotopia buildings img 3high.jpg|900x302px|3high]]

The 1905 photo of the front of the house above was used on the cover of the Fremantle Society's newsletter (''Fremantle'') for the [[../society/newsletter/2000Special.html|Special Edition 2000]].

See the article on this corner of High and Cliff Sts and the buildings that were on it, including of course the Samson house, in the Fremantle Society's newsletter (''Fremantle'') [[../society/newsletter/1991Aug.html|August 1991]] issue, pp. 1, 3-5. A note at the end of the article credits 'Des Lambert, formerly of Samsons, for the historical notes for this article'. This is the first page.

			'''Mills and Wares Warehouse''' is a two-storey building on the corner of [[Croke Lane]] and [[Little High Street]]. It was formerly used by the [[Mills and Ware]] company, and is now residential and connected to the [[tramways]]' [[carbarn]] at 1 [[High Street]].

			The warehouse was designed by [[J.J. Talbot Hobbs]], and possibly was constructed in [[1891]]. The [[rates books]] "refer to an office/warehouse in 1893-1902 owned by Dalgety and Co."{{ref inherit\|865}}

			In 1933 the warehouse bought by [[Western Star Milling]] and converted for use as a mill until about [[1973]]. A store (designed by [[Allen & Nicholas]]) was added to the rear of the building in [[1946]].{{ref inherit\|865}}

			In about [[1966]] Mills and Ware bought it, and it's named after them ever since.

	Patrick Laurence Troy was a well-known face around Fremantle as a prominent maritime worker and trade unionist. Small in stature but well read, articulate and fiery, he was also Western Australia’s best-known communist. Born in South Melbourne in 1908, he moved to Fremantle with his family during the First World War and attended the local Christian Brothers’ College. Upon leaving school he was employed in various kinds of manual labour until he became a seaman with the State Shipping Service in 1924. Prolonged periods of unemployment during the Great Depression help form his views on politics and social justice. He was elected an official of the Coastal Dock, Rivers and Harbour Works Union of Workers in 1944 and became secretary in 1948. He also served as secretary of the Maritime Services Union, helped establish the WA branch of the Federated Miscellaneous Workers Union and in 1963 was a founder of the WA Trades and Labour Council. Active in the peace movement and strong supporter of Aboriginal rights, Paddy was also known for his open-handed generosity. He retired in 1973 and died in 1978. In addition to Paddy Troy Mall, Fremantle Ports also has a pilot boat named in his honour.

	Patrick Troy was born in South Melbourne to Irish marine officer Patrick William Troy and Hilda Winifred, née Ainsworth. The Troys moved to Fremantle, Western Australia, during World War I, and Paddy attended the local Christian Brothers College. He left school in 1921 to work in various kinds of manual labour until he became a seaman in the State Shipping Service in 1924. The family moved to Geraldton in 1926, where Troy began to take responsibility for the family's welfare as his father's health declined.<br />
	The Great Depression was a challenging time for Troy, who spent long periods unemployed with only casual work to support his family. He broke with the Catholic Church and the Australian Labor Party, and joined the Communist Party of Australia in 1934. In 1936 he led a strike at the Youanmi gold mine where he worked. He married Mabel Grace Nielsen at St John's Church of England in Fremantle in 1935.<br />
	Troy was gaoled for three months after the banning of the Communist Party in 1940, after which he returned to the marine industry. He was elected an official of the Coastal Dock, Rivers and Harbour Works Union of Workers in 1944, and became secretary in 1948. The union was deregistered by the Court of Arbitration in 1952, and Troy began rebuilding the Maritime Services Union, becoming its secretary. In 1955 he helped establish the WA branch of the Federated Miscellaneous Workers Union, but was thwarted in his attempts to amalgamate the various state maritime unions. He was a founder of the Western Australian Trades and Labor Council in 1963.<br />
	[[File:Freotopia people img troy2.jpg]] Troy was a strong supporter of Aboriginal emancipation, and ran on many occasions for the federal and state parliaments. During his period of activity he was Western Australia's most prominent communist; despite this, he enjoyed the respect of employers and the trust of his union. He retired in 1973. Following his wife's death in 1975, he remarried on 5 December 1976 at Attadale, to Evelyn May Henderson, a widow. He died in 1978 at Royal Perth Hospital and was cremated. He had a [[../pilots/index.html\|pilot boat]] named after him [in 1985].

	Also named after him is the Paddy Troy Mall in central Fremantle. The benches still outside the Collie St end of the [[../hotels/esplanade.html\|Esplanade Hotel]], opposite the [[../buildings/tradeshall.html\|Trades Hall]] building, were put there by Troy so that waterside workers waiting for a job did not have to sit on the street kerb.

[[File:Freotopia people img suejack.jpg|jackiesue]]

From the right: Jack on piano, Ev Smith, saxophone, Bob Seery on drums, [unknown], Dave Gillard on bass at left. 
The band name on the music desks is Jackie Sue's Rhythm Boys. RS on the bass drum would stand for Robert Seery. 
From the crossed oars and the date on the pennant (which I think says CHAMPIONS 1939), I'm guessing they were playing for a dance to celebrate the end of the rowing season in 1939. FRC might stand for Fremantle Rowing Club, and they might be playing in the Fremantle Town Hall, or maybe the Victoria Hall. 
Jack Sue lived in Kalamunda in a two-storey house with views of the city and a huge aquarium. He had a shop in Hay Street Perth before moving to Midland.

	Councillor A. Hines, of Fremantle, who has been awarded the O.B.E., was congratulated by citizens today, said that he owed the award to the loyal band of workers who had supported his undertakings. Award of the O.B.E. to Councillor Hines would give great satisfaction to the citizens of Fremantle, said Mayor F. E. Gibson, M.L.C., today. Mr. Gibson said that it was felt in Fremantle that there was no man in the State who deserved the honour more than Councillor Hines, who had been a prominent social worker since the depression years, had associated himself with all patriotic efforts during World War II.

	The Magistrate fined Brady £10, and Angove £3, with £4/5/6 costs each. The charge against Hines was struck out. 'It is about time that steps were taken to make the place decent,' said the Magistrate, commenting on the behaviour of certain persons at South Beach. 'It is a place for the public, not for larrikins like you to make a rumpus. Women and children frequent the place, and men of your type should not go down there."
