House, 9 Lilly Street, is a typical single storey house dating from c 1898. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area.

9 Lilly Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house built c 1898 with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with fanlight and double hung sash windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron bullnose roof supported on timber posts. There is a second storey extension at the rear.

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, 9 Lilly Street was built prior to 1900. In that year, it was listed in the rate book as a cottage owned and occupied by Thomas Baldwin, a labourer. By 1904/05, the cottage was owned and occupied by Alexander Purcell. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a stone cottage with a full length front verandah. It had a small fenced backyard; the remainder of the lot seems to have been associated with 7 Lilly Street. In 1912/13, Alma Purcell was the owner and William Treland the occupier. The Trelands then bought the house, for in 1922/23, Annie Treland was listed as the owner. By 1932/33, House, 9 Lilly Street was owned by Harold Sunnucks. Mr Sunnucks continued to own the house until the early 1950s, and rented it to a succession of tenants during this time. Circa 1955, Peter Harold purchased and moved into the property. He was the owner until 1982. House, 9 Lilly Street has had a number of owners since that time. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
