The Chester family were early settlers, and one of the sons had a butchering business. Lots 12, 13, 26, 70 and 75 were subdivided by John Chester. From 1887 until about 1930, the area around Douro Road was known as Chesterfield. Chester Street was originally known as William Street; in 1901/02, the name was changed to Lloyd Street and from c. 1901, Chester Street.
In 1891, Lot 71 of Town Lot 12/13 (later 62 Chester Street) was vacant land owned by Edward Harris. The land remained vacant until it was sold to William Jones in 1911/12. A house was completed for Jones in 1912 (when it is recorded as being connected to the sewer system).
By 1920, the house was owned and occupied by Timothy Daly. In 1929/30, the rate book records a residence and stables owned and occupied by James David Cockrell. Cockrell continued to own the property until c. 1940. By 1944/45, the property was owned by Nellie and Leslie Bowden. A residence and stables were still recorded at this time.
By 1948/49, the Marj Burley owned the property occupied by William Taylor. At this time, only the residence was recorded. The property changed hands again in the early 1950s, when it was bought by Stanley Etheridge. The house was purchased by South Fremantle Engineering in 1969. It was subsequently recorded as being an unoccupied residence.
This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle") It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
It is not known when the house was demolished.
