Duplex, 66 South Street was built in 1899 for Philip Park, who had four cottages built on the lot in that year. All were leased to tenants. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows 64-66 and 68-70 South Street as two pairs of stone terrace cottages of similar plan form. There was an open area (not fenced from the street) between the pair at 64-66 and that at 68-70. All four cottages were long and narrow, although No. 70 was shorter than the other others. All had full length front verandahs, and weatherboard additions to the rear. The backyards of each pair were divided by fences and there were no outbuildings other than toilets located against the back fence of each terrace. By 1914/15, Laura Ing owned the duplexes. Edward Coleman was the owner in the early 1930s and Olive Cooney in the early 1950s. The duplexes were leased to tenants throughout this time. Lawrence Frances bought Duplex, 66 South Street in the mid-1950s and was still the owner in 1981. 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.
