All were leased to tenants. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows 64-66 and 68-70 South Street as two pairs of stone terrace cottages of similar plan form. There was an open area (not fenced from the street) between the pair at 64-66 and that at 68-70. All four cottages were long and narrow, although No. 70 was shorter than the other others. All had full length front verandahs, and weatherboard additions to the rear. The backyards of each pair were divided by fences and there were no outbuildings other than toilets located against the back fence of each terrace. By 1920/21, Duplex 64 South Street was owned by Laura Ing and occupied by Madge Sym. Ms Sym was still the occupant in the early 1930s, although ownership had changed to James Carthew by this time. Circa 1950, the property was bought by Olive Cooney and by the late 1950s, it was owned and occupied by Antonio Benino. The place has had several owners since that time. This place was 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.
