The land was called Briggs Paddock and it is not known why the streets were named after treasures such as silver, gold and coral. The street was gazetted in 1905. House, 6 Coral Street had been built by 1904. In 1904/05, it was owned by Joseph Augies and occupied by Roderick Rubie. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows that the five cottages at 2 to 10 Coral Street (then 36 to 44 Coral Street) were of identical plan form. Each was a brick cottage built against the northern boundary of their respective lots. Each had a full length front verandah and a small rear verandah along the southern end of the house. There were small tin additions at the back of the each house and a toilet located at the rear of each yard. By 1912/13, ownership had been changed to Gertrude Augies, but it remained a rental property with Evan Davis the tenant. The Davis family may have purchased the property, as Albertina Davis was listed as the owner in 1922/23 although at this time, it was occupied by David Oats. By the mid-1930s, House 6 Coral Street was owned and occupied by Mary and Walker Chackley; the Gracie family owned the property from c. 1940 to c. 1970. The place has had a number of owners since that time. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance.
