The Glaskins owned the cottage until 1913/14, although they had not lived there since c. 1905. The property was bought by the tenants, Elizabeth and David Pugh. Circa 1938, title passed to Lena Jones. Ms Jones changed her name to Lena Evans in the early 1950s and she was still the owner of the property in the 1980s. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house of roughly square plan form with a full length front verandah.

A rectangular fish pond was located to the rear side of the house (east). This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
