Statement of Significance

Duplex, 40-42 Bellevue Terrace is a good example of a stone attached pair of residences in the Victorian Georgian style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.

Physical Description

Duplex, 40-42 Bellevue Terrace: Single storey stone with rendered quoining to corners and window and door openings with a zincalume hipped roof.

History

The origin of the name ‘Bellevue Terrace’ is doubtful, although in 1891 the area was subdivided by John Joseph Higham and known as Bellevue Estate. Bellevue Terrace was previously known as Higham Road. The short portion north of Fothergill St was originally Higham St. John Joseph Higham was one of the Town Councillors. His family arrived in the colony in 1853. Council rate books indicate the change of name occurred in 1923, although the change is shown on a 1908 sewerage plan.
Duplex, 40-42 Bellevue Terrace: A dwelling was erected on the lot in 1898 for George Willis. In 1940/41 numbers 40-42 were owned by J Alexander.
