The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a full width hipped roof arcade supported on stout masonry piers over a masonry balustrade.

HISTORY

1908 A largely attended meeting of the officers of the North-East Fremantle circuit was held at the Glyde-street church on Wednesday week. The Rev. Stanley Jarvis occupied the chair. The new minister (Rev. S. Jarvis) was cordially welcomed by the stewards. The policy for the year was outlined by the minister who said that it embraced three aspects, viz, (1) spiritual, (2) social and educational, (3) financial.

The motto should be "Trust in the Lord and do good" The church needed a strong aggressive policy that it might become a living force in the community. Briefly summarised it meant the establishing of the prayer societies; resuscitation of C.E. societies and re-organisation of others; establishment of fellowship classes; systematic pastoral visitation; and quarterly re-union of members. The social and educational aspect dealt with—recreation for the young people physical and mental culture clubs; social league; ladies' guilds and sewing societies.

The financial aspect dealt with the effort to make the income meet the expenditure; the income to be augmented by the re-establishment of the envelope system and quarterly subscriptions. The policy was adopted, its vigor and comprehensiveness meeting with warm approval. The minister was asked to carry on after church lantern services which he had so successfully established on the Goldfields and at Midland Junction. It was agreed to secure a manse at East Fremantle, the various trust committees concurring previously to the charge and guaranteeing the cost. The meeting closed at 11 p.m. with the benediction. (reference)

1914 The quarterly meeting of the North-East Fremantle Methodist Circuit was held at the Glyde-street Methodist Church on Tuesday. The Rev. R. Hocking presided, and representatives were present from each of the churches in the circuit. It was reported that 120 accredited and 53 junior members were on the membership roll, being a slight increase for the quarter. The balance sheet was presented by the circuit stewards, and showed the income to have been £72 17s. 10d. and the expenditure £67 5s. 7d.

The Sunday School visitor, Mr. Bennett, reported satisfactorily on the work of the Sunday Schools, making special mention of the Kindergartens at North Fremantle and Glyde-street. Each of the Junior Christian Endeavour Societies were reported as in a flourishing condition, but superintendents complainer of a lack of workers. The local secretary for Home Missions reported that the allocation would be more than met.

1914 It was agreed that the resolution as submitted to Synod in regard to the consolidation of Methodism in the Fremantle area should be forwarded to the Conference. Approval was given for the purchase of land at Palmyra, and arrangements made for an effort during the ensuing quarter for the extinction of the long-standing circuit debt. (reference)
1934 Methodist Church: Annual synod of the Perth district of the Methodist Church sanctions the selling of the Glyde Street Church in East Fremantle and the proceeds be used for the construction of another church. This move was supported owing to ‘the drift of population outward from the city of Fremantle’ because the Glyde Street church had ‘ceased to fulfil the functions it had previously served’. (reference)
1946 Methodist Church Purchased By Girl Guides Association: Announcement that the Glyde Street Methodist Church in East Fremantle has been purchased by the Girl Guides Association. The building was now to be used a social centre for guides and scouts. (reference)

HISTORY

Boat builder Alfred (Alf) Tilley, his wife, three sons and three daughters lived in this house. Born in Hobart in 1869 Tilley did his apprenticeship with his father who was a senior partner of Tilley and Williams. Tilley went to Melbourne at 20 where he married Susan, and 20 years later came to Western Australia, in 1895. In 1911 he established the firm of A. E. Tilley and Co (steamer and launches ) and started a boat service in the harbor and for up-river trade. His boat building business and boat shed operated for more than 30 years. One of the more famous boats built by him was the Mayans. Tilley died aged 65 years in 1993.

Not surprisingly, the sons challenged this on the grounds that their mother was of unsound mind when making the will, and claim that it was obtained by ‘undue influence.’’ (reference)
1949 The Judge rules in favour of the daughters in the will dispute. He rules that the will made in 1944 was in fact valid. Interestingly, Alfred Tilley junior withdrew as a defendant on the morning of the hearing commencement and gave evidence that the final 1944 will was valid. The defendants (sons) were ordered to pay their own costs and the plaintiffs’ (daughters’) costs could be paid out of the deceased estate. (reference)
1950 Alfred Ernest Tilley of Glyde Street convicted of keeping a horse too close to a dwelling, and for keeping feed which was not stored in a rat-proof container. He was also fined for keeping an unregistered dog. (reference)

HISTORY

1900 Removal Of Sanitary Pans. A complaint having been made regarding the system of removing the sanitary pans from houses at Fremantle, a representative of this journal day waited on Mr. Laudehr, of Messrs. Laudehr and Gillispie, the Municipal sanitary contractors, with reference to the matter. Mr. Laudehr said that an assertion that it was the custom of the nightmen when emptying the pans to shift them from house to house, was altogether untrue. The pan was always returned to the same outhouse from which it was taken, and every receptacle was sprinkled with lime after being emptied. Mr. Laudehr added that he favoured the adoption of the Healed double-pan system, whereby each pan was regularly disinfected and tarred, but the local hoard of health looked upon it as being too expensive.

1938 Bleeds fatally before Child. Inflicting a long, deep gash in her thigh when she fell out of bed on to a china jug, 49 year-old Sarah Ann Sorrell died in Fremantle Hospital from haemorrhage on July 3. She had lain on the floor bleeding to death, with her five year-old son the only other occupant of the room. Today, in the Fremantle Courthouse, District Coroner H. J. Craig after inquiring into the tragedy, returned a finding of accidental death. Mrs. Sorrell's five-year-old son Leslie, youngest in a family of nine, who was alone in the house at the time of the accident, gave evidence. He was not sworn, but in answer to the Coroner said he went to sleep and woke up when he heard a bang. He saw that his mother had fallen out of bed, and a china jug was smashed. 'Mummie did not speak to me,' he said. William George Sorrell, wharf laborer, said that on the afternoon of July 2 he and his wife drank a small bottle of wine. When he left home about 7 p.m. she was showing signs of the liquor. On his return home about 10.45 his son-in-law told him that his wife had met with an accident. Going into the bedroom, he found her lying in a pool of blood. Police then arrived and his wife was taken to the hospital. He went to hospital early next morning, and remained with his wife until she died the same afternoon, but she was too weak to tell him what had happened. Sergeant Growder: Did you have any Quarrel? Sorrell: Not that day. We have had our little tiffs, but always thought the world of each other. She had some bruises?—Yes, I cannot make it out. She had none when I left...Deceased's son-in-law, Harold Dudley, told how he found Mrs. Sorrell lying on the floor of her bedroom surrounded in blood about 10.45 p.m. on July 2. He immediately telephoned for a doctor and the police.Questioned by the coroner as to why he had not done anything to stop the bleeding. Dudley said that he was not experienced in first-aid, and was afraid he might make Mrs. Sorrell's condition worse by disturbing her. Arriving at the house about 11 p.m., Detective Smith said he spoke to Mrs. Sorrell, who was very weak and semi-conscious. Twice she muttered: 'Fall out of Bed.' (reference)
