Duplex, 59-61 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, 59-61 Bellevue Terrace, is a single storey stone (no 59 is painted) attached pair, with tuck pointed brick quoining to corners and window and door openings. The pair is divided by a rendered firewall and has a zincalume hipped roof with two brick and rendered chimneys with corbelling.
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, 59-61 Bellevue Terrace was erected on pt 3 and 4 of the lot for JJ Holmes. In 1897. In 1989 renovation occurred for strata titling including rebuilding of front verandah, repair to tuck pointing, and general work to original part of cottages.
