History

Originally named Gallipoli Street, then Hewitt Street (1909/10), then Frederick Street, in 1951/52 the street was renamed Daly Street in honour of City of Fremantle councillor, Bartholomew T Daly, who served from 1909 to 1912, 1913 to 1922 and from 1924 to 1929.

Part Lot 40 of Subdivision 75 (later 28 Day Street) remained vacant land until a house was built on in 1937/38 for owner Alfred Smith. Mr Smith continued to own and occupy the house until at least 1957.

By the mid-1970s, the house was owned and occupied by Ellen Perry. Ms Perry retained ownership until the mid-1980s and the property has had several owners since that time.
