Between 1900 and 1930, Chesterfield was a separate suburb, focused around Douro Road. The street is named for the Duke of Wellington, who was also the Marquis of Douro, after the Battle of the passage of the Douro River in the Peninsular War. Douro Rd meets Marine Tce, which was formerly Wellington Tce. A 1908 PWD drawing shows a Church of England Sunday School on the south-west corner of Douro Road and Walker Streets, and shops to the street frontage on Douro Road on the corners of Thomas, Hulbert (Jane) and Chester streets. Large stables were also located on the south-east corner of Hulbert and Douro Road. In 1900, a cottage was listed on Lot 71 (later 20 Douro Road). The cottage was owned by William Ellis and occupied by Albert Morris, a mason. By 1910/11, a shop and rooms was listed as being on the property owned and occupied by Ellen Daly. By 1915/16, the property was owned and occupied by Clara Connell and was listed as a shop and cottage. Clara Connell retained ownership until c. 1935, when the property was purchased by Robert Fulton. Mary Fulton was listed as the occupant in the 1950s and 1960s. A diagram dated 1954 shows the building as a large building with a shop projecting to the building lot at the street, with a residence to the side and behind. The residence had a short verandah to the front and large weatherboard buildings/rooms were attached to the side and rear. The property was purchased by Pera and Petra Stevanovoich in the mid-1960s and they retained ownership until 1981. Circa 1970 the house was converted to flats and in 1978, South Beach Deli occupied the shop. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment") By 1981, the house and shop had been demolished and a new residence was subsequently built on the lot.
