A weatherboard and iron residence costing ₤500 was constructed for Mary Ellen Morris in 1935/36. Although Ms Morris retained ownership, the house was let to a number of tenants in the late 1930s and 1940s. John William Morris was recorded as the owner and occupant of the house in the early 1950s and was still there in 1972. This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Yellow: “Contributing to the unique character of Fremantle”) It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. The house has had a couple of owners since the early 1990s and in 1991 an application was made for a two storey extension to the rear.
