Charles Street was largely developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and much of the housing stock still dates from this time. House, 16 Charles Street was built c. 1900 for owner, J H Friel. Although Friel continued to own the property until c. 1930, there were no occupants listed in the rate books until c. 1910. Frederick Every was the tenant in 1912/13. Mr Friel rented the property to a succession of tenants until the early 1930s, when it was bought by Henrietta McElhatton. It continued to be a rental property during Ms McElhatton’s ownership, which lasted until c. 1950. House, 16 Charles Street was owned by Norma Sharpin in the 1950s and from the 1960s until at least 1990, it was owned and occupied by Josephine Moffat. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Red: "Significantly contributing to the unique character of Fremantle")
