History

The Post Office Directories of 1898 show that most of the population in Claremont clustered south of Stirling Highway and east of Bay View Terrace, with people living on John, Bernard, Thomson, Queen and King streets and on Princess, Pennell, Chester, Goldsworthy, Dunbar, Evelyn and Bay Roads. By 1903, the beginning of the ‘Consolidation’ period and also when the Claremont Rate Books commence, there were eight houses in Bay Road.
This pair of cottages falls into the ‘Consolidation’ period of the Town’s development. The ‘Consolidation’ period was a period of rapid growth within the Town. Population and housing grew steadily with 701 households and businesses in 1905, 872 in 1910 and 1,240 in 1915. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway. Surviving heritage homes from this period indicate that housing types were mainly Federation and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
No.12 was built for Bernard Stein, a bookseller. Later owner James Nicholas, a coppersmith, working for the railways (WAGR). He applied for and received government financial assistance for low-income workers to purchase the property in 1912.
