History

Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 35 Lilly Street was built between 1940 and c. 1950. In the early 1950s, the house was owned by occupied by Ronald Hackett. Between c. 1960 and 1991, the property was owned by the Tomizzi family. House, 35 Lilly Street has had few owners since that time. This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries. It is not known how old this particular wall is.
