Bellevue Terrace was previously known as Higham Road. The short portion north of Fothergill St was originally Higham St. John Joseph Higham was one of the Town Councilors. His family arrived in the colony in 1853. Council rate books indicate the change of name occurred in 1923, although the change is shown on a 1908 sewerage plan. The rate books suggest that the house that is now number 65 was erected on the lot for JJ Holmes in 1897. Alterations were made to the rear of the house in 1987.
