10 Louisa Street is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house built by 1905 with a symmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture. The walls are limestone with rendered brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door and double hung sash windows.

The area was owned by Captain William Owston, and then his stepson, Frederick Jones. Jones served with the Fremantle Council for many years. On the subdivision of the property in 1891, family names were given to the streets. Louisa was the daughter of Frederick and Emma Jones. Louisa Street was one of the first in this area of South Fremantle to be developed. House, 10 Louisa Street was built between 1900 and c. 1910. A sewerage diagram dated c. 1915 shows House, 10 Louisa Street as a large brick house with a full length front verandah. The rear verandah was enclosed at each end to create a bathroom and another working area. At this time, it was numbered 14 Louisa Street. In 1915, the house was occupied by Jas Sheridan. In 1930/31, the house was owned by the War Services Homes Board and occupied by Aurora Nicholls. Aurora McKenzie was listed as the owner and occupant in the 1950s and into the 1960s.
