Duplex, 36-38 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, 36-38 Bellevue Terrace is a single storey stone attached pair with rendered quoining to corners and window openings and zincalume hipped rooves. The parapets and firewall are rendered and the rendered central chimneys with corbelling are extant.
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, 36-38 Bellevue Terrace: Two cottages were erected for the Currie Brothers on lot 39 of 752 in 1903/04. The first occupant of number 36 was Charles Ramsay a wharf labourer and the first occupant of number 38 was Henry Samuel Taylor, a coach trimmer. Number 36 was number 28 prior to 1924/25.
