It was described in the 1905 rate book as a two storey cottage. Between c. 1920 and c. 1945, House, 42 South Street was owned by Margaret Owen. The next owner was Emilio Beltrami, who owned it until c. 1960, when the cottage was sold to Linda Rinaldi. Ms Rinaldi was still the owner in the early 1970s. House, 42 South Street was a rental property during all this time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a stone house with full length front and rear verandahs. There was a stone addition down the eastern side of the house, and a separate galvanised iron laundry in the backyard. 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.
