Lilly Street is named after James Lilly, who was manager of the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889. Lilly was born in Tasmania in 1845 and died in Claremont in 1905. The majority of the houses in the street date from the 1890s and early 1900s. House, 52 Lilly Street was built c. 1902. In 1904/05, it was listed in the rate book as a cottage owned and occupied by John Cook, a saddler. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1908 shows a wide rectangular brick cottage with a full length front verandah, an extension to the rear and a half-length back verandah. By 1912/13, the cottage was owned by James Ramsay. Mr Ramsay owned the property until c. 1945 and rented it to a succession of tenants. Esther Holt was the tenant from c. 1930 and by 1952, William Holt was the owner. William Holt was still the owner in 1960, but by 1964, House, 52 Lilly Street was owned and occupied by Peter and Ellen Goodlick. Frank Kastropil was the owner from the mid-1960s until c. 1995.
