The house was constructed from 1906.
On 13 March 1883, the Western Australian government announced it would survey a section of the Perth Commonage into suburban lots and that these would then be made available for private sale. This subdivision had created 141 residential allotments with frontages to the southern side of Bagot Road, eastern side of Townsend Road, north-western side of Thomas Street, northern side of Hamersley Road, and to both sides of Francis Street, Park Street (now Kings Road) and Market Street (now part Bedford Avenue). By 1906, measures were being taken to ensure that Kings Road (together with adjacent streets) was developed with good quality housing. In January it was reported that Kings Road was one of several local streets where preparations were in place for providing a permanent water supply via extensions to the water mains; while in September, it was reported that it was one of several streets that had been topped with limestone ballast. Development then progressed rapidly with a further 8 houses being built in 1906-1908: 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16 & 25. After a short hiatus, the remainder of the street was gradually developed over an 11 year period.
