Subdivision of the area was approved in 1897 and residential development continued steadily from that time. The majority of the houses in the short street were constructed between c. 1900 and c. 1920. The name of the street was officially changed to White Street in 1923. House, 11 White Street was constructed at some stage before 1921 for Annie Munro, who owned the adjacent properties at No. 7 and No. 9 White Street. In 1921/22, the weatherboard house was let out to tenants. The property was purchased by Mrs M. Fenton in 1928/29 and the Fenton family retained ownership until the late 1960s. The place as had a number of owners since that time. A 1939 diagram shows 11 White Street as being a weatherboard house with a half length front verandah. A number of outbuildings were located against the rear fence. To the east of the house there was an area (encompassing what would have been No. 13 White Street) that appeared to have been shared with the shop and residence at 28 Thompson Road. The area comprised a mix of lawned and paved areas. Subsequent plans show that the footprint of the house changed little until 1993, when approval was granted for a single storey addition to the rear of the house. 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.
