The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of a timber weatherboard cottage in central Fremantle constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and representing the typical living conditions of the townspeople at that period. The building is not highly intact and recent fabric is not significant.
Single storey weatherboard (indented profile) and Colorbond hipped roof house, sits below street level, behind a timber fence and is similar to 15 Bellevue Terrace. The steeply pitched roof extends over the veranda and is supported by timber posts. There is a five panelled timber front door and the windows are split pane double-hung sash.
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 Councilors. 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. Rates records show a cottage on site from 1899, with another added 1902, although it is uncertain whether No. 13 was the first or second cottage. (Owner had both lots 815-817). The original owner was J. J. Higham. In 1966, a building application was lodged for a new window on the south side. A health order was issued in 1976, when extensions were carried out.
