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, 21 Ainslie Road was constructed c.1913. At the time the place as owned by George Staton. By 1914, however, the place was owned and occupied by Christopher M Partlow, and members of the Partlow family are recorded at the place until the early 1920s, including a Mrs M Partlow (1915) and William Partlow (1921). By 1924 ownership had transferred to Mr McCabe. A 1939 sewerage plan shows the place as a brick house with a verandah to the northeast corner, two tanks, a laundry and an earth closet to the rear. 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, 21 Ainslie Road, is a single storey limestone and iron cottage with an asymmetrical facade designed with elements of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture.
