Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 53 Lilly Street was built between 1922 and 1933. For several years before the cottage was built, there was a stockyard on the lot. The rate book for 1932/33 lists Alfred Calder as the owner and occupier of the cottage. The Calders continued to own the house until 1975, when it was purchased by Lynda Nevill. House, 53 Lilly Street has had several owners since 1980. This place was 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.
