DEMOLISHED. Retained on MHI for historical information only.
Ainslie Road appears in Fremantle Rate Books from the 1890s as a street of unimproved lots. Although a 1904 Water Supply map indicates there were no buildings on the street at this time, Post Office Directories list a number of residents, suggesting a tent settlement prior to the construction of permanent dwellings. Ainslie Street was gazetted a public highway in 1905. Development followed relatively quickly, and by the interwar period the short street was mostly developed with modest residences. Following World War Two, a number of residences in the street were purchased by the State Housing Authority, particularly towards the eastern end. House, 30 Ainslie Road was a 1957 brick and tile house designed by the owner, George Papaphotis, and built by Mr Longo at a cost of £30 000. Papaphotis was a chiropractor, who had emigrated from Egypt in 1948. In 1961 the place was purchased by the State Housing Commission. In 1999, Fremantle City Council refused a demolition application for 24-30 Ainslie Road on the grounds that the four houses comprised a heritage group, but the Planning Minister at the time, Hon Graeme Kierath, over-ruled the decision, and the four residences were demolished.
