H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). House, 24 Lefroy Road was built c. 1905 for Ada and John Ross. The Ross’ retained ownership until c. 1920, when the house was bought by Mary Brady. John Mais was listed as the occupant in 1929/30 and it appears that Mary and John married. Mary Mais was listed as the registered owner of the property from c. 1930 to the late 1950s. In the late 1950s, the house was sold to Roberto Bartolone, who continued to own the property in 2004/05. The following places form a significant group and contribute to the streetscape of Lefroy Road; 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 38, 40, 47, 51, 53, 55 and the Norfolk Pines. This place was identified in the "Heritage Report on 19th century limestone walls and steps in Fremantle" prepared by Silvana Grassadonia, for the City of Fremantle, 1986. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries. It is not known how old this particular wall is.
