A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a run of three attached commercial buildings with basements. No 83 and 85 were a mirror pair. All had full length front verandahs to the street front and a variety of outbuildings to the rear. No. 79 was occupied by James Moore, a storekeeper, and there was an oven and stables to in the rear yard along Arundel Street. In 1916, title to the properties passed to Harry James William Higham and Frederick Hollis as joint trustees and tenants. After Harry died in January 1917, Frederick Hollis became the sole proprietor. In 1926, ownership was transferred to James and Norah Moore, storekeepers. The following year, the property was bought by Herbert Leslie Penfold Hyland, a Èàgentleman'. Following Herbert's death in 1940, ownership passed to Francis Hyland, a vigneron, and Geoffrey Hyland. However, ownership was soon formally transferred to Penfolds Wine Pty Ltd. John Baille, an electrical fitter, bought the property in 1957 and was soon advised that the City of Fremantle Council had resolved to declare that all buildings in the City Ward of the City of Fremantle that were constructed of timber frame should be demolished, and if rebuilt, they should be of brick. The City wrote to Mr J Baille in November 1959 advising him to reconstruct: Èþ79 South Terrace - motor garage Èþ81 South Terrace - laundry Èþ83 South Terrace - laundry and bathroom Èþ85 South Terrace - laundry and bathroom John Baille died in 1981 and ownership was transferred to his wife, Helen.
