By 1930, it was owned by Mildred Larsen and occupied by Rebecca Beaney. John Anderson was the tenant in 1940/41 and by 1950, he was the owner of the house. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a large brick house of rectangular plan form, with a full length front verandah with centrally located front steps. The rear verandah was enclosed at one end to form a bathroom. There was a large weatherboard outbuilding in the backyard. Paving down the side of the house lead into the backyard. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - PURPLE - of architectural and historic significance in its own right.
