The street accommodated a mixture of owner/occupier residences and rental properties. Mary Street was gazetted as a public highway in 1905 and the name was changed to Herbert Street in 1922/23. House, 14 Herbert Street was constructed at some time prior to 1907 for Charles Marquand. The Marquand family continued to own the property until the mid-1940s. Rate records indicate that alterations were undertaken in 1931, when the entry changed from a five room stone cottage to a four room stone house. George and Mary Brough owned and lived in the property from the mid-1940s until the early 1960s. The place has had a number of owner/occupiers since that time. A 1939 map shows 14 Herbert Street as being a large house with a full length front verandah and small lean-tos at the rear. A path led from the street to the centrally located front entrance. 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) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
