However, Nelson Street does not appear in Council records until 1898 and was not developed until c. 1900. House, 11 Nelson Street was built between 1900 and 1914. In 1914/15, the house was owned by Anna Ulbrick and occupied by Charles Ulbrick. Peter Travia was the owner of the house by 1930/31. The Travia family still owned the property in 1981. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a large brick house with a projecting room with bay window to the east. The house had a full length front verandah, with a centrally located front path and a substantial fence at the street boundary. At the back of the house, there was a large asbestos addition. This place was 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.
