History

House, 38 Scott Street was built between 1925 and 1930. In 1929/30, Mary Dearly and Lucy Pope were listed as the owners; John Dearle was listed as the occupant. This remained the situation until c. 1950, when Lucy Pope was listed as the sole owner. She was also listed as the occupant from c. 1950 until her death c. 1960. House, 38 Scott Street was subsequently bought by George and Marica Bozikovich, who owned the house for a few years before selling to Vladimir Sokolich. Mr Sokolich owned the house until the 1980s.

A diagram dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah wrapping around one side. A curved path in the backyard linked the house with various galvanised iron outbuildings.

Scott Street was named for Captain Daniel Scott, the first Harbour Master and first chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust.
