He later conducted a spirit merchant’s business of his own, and held the position of postmaster. He was also on the Fremantle Town Trust in 1848, 1857-63 and again 1865-66. Francisco Street was developed in the late 1890s. House, 9 Francisco Street has been built by 1898. In that year, it was owned by Edward Weston and occupied by John Peat. By 1900, the property was owned and occupied by John Attwood. Although Mr Atwood was still listed as the owner in 1912/13, William Franklin was the occupant in that year. By 1922/23, House 9 Francisco Street was owned and occupied by John Manuel. Priscilla Nicholls was the owner and occupier in 1932/33. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a small weatherboard residence with a full length front verandah and a smaller rear verandah. There was also an asbestos addition at the rear. A path led from the back door to a toilet located at the back of the yard. Between the mid-1950s and c. 1980, the property changed hands many times. Owners during this time included Mary Rooke (early 1950s); Frederick Lange (early 1960s); Maria Pellicone and Mr Gianbattista (late 1960s); A and G Parisse (early 1970s) and Pietro and Maria Sepede (late 1970s). It is not known when the house was demolished. Physical DescriptionDEMOLISHED- retained on LHS database for historical information purposes only - Level 4.
