Gold Street was gazetted as George Street on 2 September 1904. The land formed a part of a large block owned by Henry Briggs, then President of the Legislative Council. George (Gold) Street was constructed in 1905 at a cost of ₤250. By 1908, a public reserve had been earmarked at the intersection of Francisco Street and George Street. George Street was renamed Gold Street in circa 1921. The majority of the housing stock in the street dates from the late 1890s and early 1900s. House, 9 Gold Street was built between 1913 and c. 1920. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1915 shows a brick residence with a full length front verandah and centrally located front path. There was a large weatherboard addition to the rear, adjoining the back verandah and several outbuildings in the backyard, including a water closet located against the back fence. In 1922/23, ownership passed from Ernest Mumford to William Monro. Mr Monro retained ownership until c. 1940, when it was bought by Norman Cruickshank. In 1942/43, Annie Harvey was listed as the occupant. Although Norman Cruickshank was listed as the occupant in the early 1950s, the property was owned by John Harvey and then Mrs R Millen during this time. Norman and Gladys Cruickshank were the owners again by 1960. House, 9 Gold Street has had several owners since the mid-1960s. 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.
