History

Rates Book Information: This house was formerly numbered 8 Ashburton Terrace the change occurred in 1938/39. This area of Fremantle changed significantly in the late 1920s with many roads being closed or extended. Ashburton Terrace was created from the separation of the former Mary Street into two sections, Ashburton Terrace and Bellevue Terrace. This house first appears in the Post Office Directories in 1934 and was occupied by Reginald Hughes. Later occupants were William Holmes, Arthur J Cramp and Ross Hutchinson. It is possible that the house existed prior to that date but further research of the rates books is needed to establish the exact date of construction and the original owner.
