Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 12 Ada Street was built in 1906/07. In 1912, Joseph Cooper was listed as the owner and occupier. Mr Cooper continued to own the property for many years, but by the early 1930s it was occupied by Mary Salter. It is shown on a Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1907 as a small brick residence. The house was numbered 14 Ada Street, until c. 1940, at which time it was changed to 12 Ada Street. George Tarpens purchased the property in 1952 and moved in. It is not known when Mr Tarpens sold the property, which has had several owners since the mid-1970s. Extensions were made to the rear of the house in the mid-1980s. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
