This portion of Bassendean was subdivided for residential development c1905 by developer Thomas Briggs who gave his name to this street. From the available information this residence was constructed in 1934 for the owner and occupier Charles Ireland. Ireland occupied the property until the late 1940s. Little information has been found in the current research relating to Ireland although it is known that Edward Ernest Ireland was a successful cabinet maker in Bassendean and Charles Ireland may have been a relative. Information from aerial photographs indicates that the roof was green corrugated iron in the 1980s which was changed to its current red in the 1990s. The original envelope of the building has been extended through extensions and additions while other structures have been built in the rear of the property.
