Numbers changed in1935/36. 76 Attfield Street is firstly recorded in the Post Office Directories in 1908 and the occupant was Thomas Grant. The 1908 sewerage plan of this site shows this stone house has a simple square plan with verandahs across the front and rear. In the back yard are a timber closet and a small timber shed. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment") A photograph of the house at this time shows that the front façade had been rendered and a new verandah roof installed. The verandah posts and balustrades have been replaced and the front windows are replacements. The low brick wall on the front boundary is also a later construction. Prior to 1994 the house had been renovated and extended. The render had been removed from the external facades and a new roof installed. The verandah had been replaced with style closer to the original design with timber veranda posts. A high limestone wall was constructed on the front boundary. At the same time as this renovation new units were constructed on the rear of the lot.
