Although a 1904 Water Supply map indicates there were no buildings on the street at this time, Post Office Directories list a number of residents, suggesting a tent settlement prior to the construction of permanent dwellings. Ainslie Street was gazetted a public highway in 1905. Development followed relatively quickly, and by the interwar period the short street was mostly developed with modest residences. Following World War Two, a number of residences in the street were purchased by the State Housing Authority, particularly towards the eastern end. House, 17 Ainslie Road was constructed c.1906. Post Office Directories suggest that the first occupant of the place was Prince W.H. Bullmore. In 1939, the place is shown on a sewerage plan as a brick home featuring a front verandah, and with an earth closet, corrugated iron garage, laundry and three water tanks. This place was included in the 'North Fremantle Heritage Study' (1994) as a place contributing to the development and heritage of North Fremantle. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.Physical DescriptionHouse, 17 Ainslie Road, is a single storey stone and iron cottage with symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
