History

Originally named Gallipoli Street, then Hewitt Street (1909/10), then Frederick Street, in 1951/52 the street was renamed Daly Street in honour of City of Fremantle councillor, Bartholomew T Daly, who served from 1909 to 1912, 1913 to 1922 and from 1924 to 1929.
A cottage was built on Lot 39 of Subdivision 75 (49 Daly Street) c. 1905 for James Carpenter, a labourer. Mr Carpenter retained ownership until the mid-1940s, when the property was purchased by Olive and Henry Brown. The property has had a couple of owners since it was sold by the Browns in 1978.
This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Brown: "Positively contributing to the built environment") It was also included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
