It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 17 Hulbert Street was constructed c. 1900. In 1900, a cottage was listed as being on the property. It was owned and occupied by John Bamkin, a dealer. Bamkin sold the house to Mabel French in 1920/21. By 1925/26, the property was owned and occupied by Rose Tapliss. William and Mary Reed owned House, 17 Hulbert Street, between c. 1925 and c. 1935. Reginal Wilkes owned and occupied the house from c. 1950 to c. 1970. The property has had a number of owners since that time. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 17 Hulbert Street as a weatherboard house with a projecting front room and half-length front verandah. A centrally located path led from the street to the front door and across the front of the house. A galvanised iron shed was also located in the back yard. In 1988, an application to demolish the existing residence and construct a new double-storey house was received by the City of Fremantle. Approval was granted in 1989 and an archival record was prepared of the existing building. The demolition did not occur.
