Hevron Street
North Fremantle
The original parcel of land that became Hevron Street formed part of Lot P 52, a two acre lot granted to William Ralph Yesrige, a Pensioner Guard. The land remained undeveloped until it was subdivided by John Allen, Frederick Mason and a Mr Davies c. 1890. Ambrose James Hevron purchased an allotment in 1894, as did Robert Payne. By 1897 the land had been partially developed, with four cottages on the left hand side and six cottages on the right hand side of the street, which was originally named Frederick Street. The street was officially renamed Hevron Street on 19 January 1923. From its establishment, Hevron Street developed as a primarily residential area. Following World War II, the area saw an influx of migrants, especially of Portuguese and Italian origin. In 1895, vacant Lot 15 of P52 was owned by E.H. Tomkinson. By 1897, title to the property had passed to Thomas N. Stewart, who retained ownership until the 1920s. The 1928/29 rate book lists Frank Lushingham as the owner and it remained in his family until c. 1949. From 1955 until 1944, Harold Stan Jeffreys, recorded in the electoral rolls as a lumper, was listed as the owner.
