On 20 November 1930, Fremantle Council approved plans for a weatherboard residence. It was built for A Rogers at a cost of £350. Prior to this the lot had been vacant land. Albert Rogers owned the house until the early 1950s, when it was bought by Ivy Shepherd. Ivy owned the house until c. 1970 (if not later). By 1978, the house had been re-roofed to incorporate the verandah and the original verandah posts had been replaced with tubular steel. 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.
