Duplex, 51-53 Bellevue Terrace is a good example of a stone attached pair of residences in the Victorian Georgian style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the gold boom period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Duplex, 51-53 Bellevue Terrace is a single storey stone attached pair with brick quoining to corners and window and door openings, divided by a rendered wall. There is a zincalume hipped roof and four rendered chimneys with corbelling.
The origin of the name ‘Bellevue Terrace’ is doubtful, although in 1891 the area was subdivided by John Joseph Higham and known as Bellevue Estate. Bellevue Terrace was previously known as Higham Road. The short portion north of Fothergill St was originally Higham St. John Joseph Higham was one of the Town Councillors. His family arrived in the colony in 1853. Council rate books indicate the change of name occurred in 1923, although the change is shown on a 1908 sewerage plan. Duplex, 51-53 Bellevue Terrace, comprising an attached pair each with five rooms, was erected in 1897. They were built for Captain David Hughes who was a master mariner. He was the Captain of such vessels as the "Victorian" and the "Armistice". The first occupant of number 51 was David Hughes and the first occupant of number 53 was William John Harvey, a printer.
