The place is a good example of a rendered masonry residence in the Federation Bungalow style, representing the expansion of Fremantle in the World War I period. The place contributes to a substantially intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century streetscape close to the centre of Fremantle.
Single storey tuck pointed brick with rendered banding and a terracotta tile hipped and half timbered gable house. The roof has three brick and rendered chimneys with pots and extends over the verandah and is supported by timber posts between timber balustrades which are probably not the original.
Ellen Street was named for Ellen Mangles of Woodbridge, Surrey, England, wife of Sir James Stirling, the Governor. In 1914/15 lots 525-529 were vacant and owned by Alice Pearse. In 1915 building plans were approved for the erection of a house for James and Elizabeth Davey. In 1927/28 the property passed to Dr Charles Rodger Dinkley. In 1925/26 he was the Senior Medical Officer at Fremantle hospital and he was an Honorary Medical Officer from 1927 to 1950. Dr Dinkley served in both world wars. Dr Dinkley was a board member at Fremantle Hospital in 1936/36 and 1939/41.
