The place is historically significant as the home of Alfred Henry Blinco, son of Henry Blinco for whom the street was named. Good example of a timber framed residence in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Single storey timber framed and weatherboard clad house (partially concealed by limestone and timber fence and trees) and possibly former shop with timber panelled doors, fronting the pavement.This place has a limestone feature.
Blinco Street was previously known as Moore Street and was changed in the council rate books in 1909/10. Henry Blinco, (1832-1907) was Chief Warden of the Fremantle Prison. The street was officially gazetted on the 13 March 1931. In 1898 the vacant lot was owned by Alfred Henry Blinco, a carpenter. In 1899 the lot was subdivided. On one portion a weatherboard cottage was erected for Blinco. The other portion remained vacant and was owned by the Breckler Brothers. In 1901/02 a cottage was built on the vacant portion for Haines Healey and occupied by Thomas B Rooney, a moulder. This later became number 2 Blinco st. Blinco st was originally Moore St but was changed in 1909/10 to honour Henry Blinco, Chief Warder at the Fremantle Prison. (History Files, Fremantle Local History Collection)
