Alfred Road developed between 1900 and 1920, with development on the southern side of the road, where houses were numbered consecutively on the same side of the street. Alfred Road displays a mix of duplex and single unit dwellings, some constructed of stone (those built c. 1900 – c. 1910) and others of weatherboard (those built c. 1910 – c. 1920). A number of the houses were built as investment (rental) properties. House, 9 Alfred Road was constructed between 1910 and 1915. By 1921/22, the place was owned by William Henley and occupied by William Oddy. It was described as being a weatherboard house of four rooms at this time. The Henley family continued to own the property until the early 1960s, and it was a rental property throughout much of this time. The house was connected to the town sewerage in 1956. A 1939 shows 9 Alfred Road as being a large weatherboard house with a half front verandah. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
