The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 30 Hulbert Street was constructed c. 1900. In 1900, a cottage owned and occupied by H Spencer, a locomotive employee, was listed on the property. Between c. 1905 and c. 1910, the property was owned by John Geugan, a labourer. A diagram dated c. 1905 shows House 30 Hulbert Street as a weatherboard house set at an angle to the street. The house had a full length front verandah with centrally located front steps and there was a large weatherboard building to the rear. In 1915/16, House, 30 Hulbert Street was owned by Loftus Connor and occupied by John Carr. The property was purchased by Elise Hutchins in 1920/21, who retained ownership until c. 1930, when it was bought by Joseph Dobson. It was occupied by tenants Jessie Davy and then Norman Campbell during Dobson’s ownership, which lasted until c. 1940. Charles and Mary Ellen Johnstone owned and lived in the house until the early 1960s. The property has had a number of owners since that time and between 1980 and c. 1990, the original cottage was demolished and a large double storey brick house built in its place. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
