The use of limestone is part of the Fremantle landscape and gives the City coherence and character. Limestone walls were built around properties in Fremantle to prevent sand drift in response to an early building regulation dating from the 1830s. Limestone walls are one commonly encountered example of use of this stone as a building material, most of them dating from the 19th century and early years of the 20th century. Most of the limestone in small walls came from local quarries.

Wesley Street was originally called Russell Street. The name was changed in 1901.
House, 13 Wesley Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Louisa Frederickson was listed as the owner of the cottage which was occupied by John Brennan, a wheelwright. Frank Frederickson was listed as the owner in 1910/11, and in that year, the house was sold to George Spark. Exel Frederickson was the owner in 1914/15 and Joseph Wright in 1919/20. With the exception of Exel Frederickson, all the owners lived in the house.
Between c. 1925 and c. 1954, House, 13 Wesley Street was owned and occupied by Ellen and Thomas Connolly. It was then owned and occupied by Raymond Watt, who was still living there in 1991.
