Duplex, 35-37 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.
Duplex, 35-37 Bellevue Terrace is a single storey stone attached pair with brick quoining to corners and window openings and a zincalume gabled roof, set below pavement level. The parapets and firewall are rendered.
This place contains a limestone feature.
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, 35-37 Bellevue Terrace: In 1895 lot 2 of 743 was a vacant lot owned by John Joseph Higham. In 1896 a two room cottage was erected on the lot, owned and occupied by Frank Fitchett. Frank Fitchett was a railway employee and carpenter. By 1898 there were two cottages with four rooms each on the lot. Fitchett occupied number 33. In 1924/25 number 33 became number 35 and number 35 became number 37.
