The property was subdivided in the early 1890s although the majority of the street was not developed until the early 1900s. House, 14 Rose Street was built in 1901/02 for William Hawkins, a clerk. It was soon sold to the Cook brothers and leased to Louis Pearse, an architect. In 1903/04, ownership passed to William Willis, a fisherman. The Willis family continued to own the cottage until the mid-1930s, though it appears to have been occupied by tenants in the late 1910s and again in the 1930s. A sewerage diagram dated c. 1915 shows House, 14 Rose Street an L-shaped house with a full length front verandah, with a rear verandah. There were two long, rectangular outbuildings located against the western fence. By 1951/52, the cottage was owned by Kate Gribble and occupied by Marion Price. 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.
