Residence occupied by John Allen from c1915 into the 1940s. (Ref: Wise's Post Office Directory) The Jolimont Lake, formerly Jolimont Swamp, was used by Aboriginal people in the period prior to European settlement. Jolimont Estate was released in 1891, by investor John Maddock. The roads Peel, Rosebery, Lansdowne, Jersey, Cardigan and Jolimont had all been surveyed, and land sold steadily. However, the low-lying area caused dampness and flooding, which was a health concern, and some lots were even so low-lying that they were unable to be developed. Early pioneers formed a Progress Association to rectify these matters, fearing neglect by the Subiaco Council for being on the outskirts of the suburb, and for a decade of two the residents' sense of isolation and insignificance was real. The State Government solved Jolimont's drainage problems in 1922, and compensated residents, although parts of the Estate had been lost forever to Jolimont Lake. Cardigan Terrace was once a continuation of Hay Street, and was the main commercial centre of Jolimont. By 1905 several stores and the school were established. Jolimont Terrace was also a commercial centre, with such services as a jeweller and greengrocer. Most of Peel, Rosebery and Lansdowne Streets were developed for residences by c1910-20.
