History

In 1890 Fremantle Pt Lot 1000 is recorded as land ''found by owner'' Joshua Beisley. He built a four-room cottage in 1893 (No 9) and operated a dairy until 1923. In 1924, Joseph Beisley became the new occupant and presumably it was he who subdivided the lot and built the house at No 11. It was occupied by Arthur Beisley.
The house was originally number 16, and became number 11 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937. Arthur Beisley was still the resident in 1949 (when post office directory records cease).
Aerial photos show that between 1985 and 1995 the house was extended to the rear and the roof line changed, with a new hipped wing running in a north south direction.
