Duplex, 25N Scott Street was built in 1903/04 for Gus Hassey, a labourer. (This is likely to be the same owner of 23 Scott Street, although his name was spelt Hassy in that entry.) It was built as a semi-detached cottage adjacent to an existing cottage (27 Scott Street) that had been built in 1901/02. Between c. 1920 and c. 1930, the house was owned by Bridget Fahey and occupied by Peter Graham. Ms Fahey moved into the house herself in the early 1930s and lived there until at least the early 1950s. By 1978, the duplex’s partner had been demolished. A two storey brick house was built in its place. In 1983, the City of Fremantle received an application for an extension to the rear comprising a kitchen/meals area, laundry, utility room and bathroom. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also 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.
