Quarry Street site
The site at 7-15 Quarry Street was once occupied by Park Bungalow. It was the property of the Colonial Surgeon, Dr H.C. Barnett, and the home of C.Y. O'Connor and his family 1891-3, 1896-1900. It became the property of Fremantle City Council in 1961, when the house was demolished. The site was occupied by the YMCA and then a child-minding centre, which has now also been demolished. The levelled, vacant block is for sale in 2021. It has frontages onto Quarry Street and also directly onto Fremantle Park.
