History
Solomon Street was originally known as Mary Street, gazetted in 1905. It changed its name in 1951/52 to honour Elias Solomon, a Fremantle merchant and politician who built a house and lived in this street. Solomon was a Town Councillor 1878-1880, 1883-1886, Mayor in 1889-1891, 1896-98 and 1900-01. He was a state parliamentarian, MLA for the seat of South Fremantle 1892-1901, then transferred to Federal Politics with a seat in the House of Representatives from 1901-1903. Solomon was the first Member for Fremantle in the Federal Government.
There are houses in this area shown on the June 1908 Sewerage Diagram but it is difficult to confirm if No 39 is one of them. The house is on Part of Lot 44 FTL 751, and is most likely formerly 95 Mary Street, however rate books do not confirm this and it is not numbered on sewerage diagrams like the rest of houses in this stretch of road. The
1908 sewerage diagram shows a stone dwelling with a front verandah and galvanized iron structure attached at the rear of the house with a water closet at the far rear of the lot. The 1913-14 rate book shows a cottage at no.95, owned by Rachel Victoria Law, occupied by Ernest Law.
