This area of South Fremantle was subdivided by Henry Briggs in 1893. However, Nelson Street does not appear in Council records until 1898 and was not developed until c. 1900.
House, 20 Nelson Street was built between 1922 and 1930. In 1930/31, the house was owned and occupied by Arthur Mayne. At this time, it was numbered 30 Nelson Street.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a brick house with a projecting front room to the west and a projecting half-length front verandah. The house had a rear verandah and there was a separate weatherboard building in the backyard, located against the eastern boundary fence. A galvanised iron garage was accessed off Silver Street.
Arthur Mayne owned the house until the early 1960s, when it was sold to Antonio & Amelia Marchioli.
