It was originally No 54. (Numbering changed in circa 1935 as it did for much of the Fremantle area.) The first owner was George De Speville. In 1905/05 Harold Coe became the owner. He at first let the cottage to Edward Clarke, a driver, before moving in himself in 1908/1909. Coe then sold to Albert Edward Pady in the same rate periods. Pady occupied the place from 1909-1916, before he let it to George Lane (1916/17) then Ivy Lang (1917/18) before again occupying the place. Pady lived at 35 Wardie Street until he sold the place in 1944 to Hilda Mary and Walter John Baker. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick residence with a projecting front room and enclosed asbestos verandah on the other side of the centrally located entry. Asbestos and galvanised iron additions at the rear were linked to the toilet in the backyard by a path. The Bakers sold in 1956 to Guido Spinozzi. Subsequent owners/occupiers were Rosario Menna 1960-1964; Crescenzo Catanzaro (1964-1968); Felice Sticca (1968-1972) and Amadeu & Natalia Da Costa (1972-1974).
