The place has aesthetic and historic significance as an example of a timber weatherboard cottage in central Fremantle constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and representing the typical living conditions of the townspeople at that period.
Single storey weatherboard and fibrous cement corrugated iron hipped roof house, sits below street level, behind a timber picket fence and is similar to 13 Bellevue terrace. There is weatherboard to dado height and fibrous cement above on the façade and weatherboard on the south side and fibrous cement on the north side of the house. The slightly dropped verandah is supported by turned timber posts. There is a four paneled timber front door and fanlight above; the windows are timber double hung sash.
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 Councilors. 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. Rates records show a cottage on site from 1899, with another added 1902, although it is uncertain whether No. 13 was the first or second cottage. (Owner had both lots 815-817). The original owner was J. J. Higham.
