House, 212 South Terrace was built in 1900 for Walter Hall, a Government Employee. Hall lived in the cottage for a short time (c. 1901), then rented it out to a succession of tenants. Walter had another cottage of similar plan form built alongside the following year (No. 214). Mr Hall died in 1933 and probate of this will was granted to the WA Trustee Executor. By 1935/36, the cottage was owned by Ruby Forrest and occupied by Norman Cruickshank. The property was owned by the Vinci family from 1950 until at least 1975. A Metropolitan Sewerage diagram dated 1954 shows 212 and 214 South Terrace as a pair of long, narrow brick cottages on the one lot, with full length front verandahs. Both had rear verandahs and weatherboard additions. In 1961, the house was re-roofed and the front verandah enclosed. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
