Numbers changed in 1934/35. This house is first mentioned in the Post Office directories in 1900 when the occupant was Robert Johnson. Earlier records are not conclusive. Later occupants of the house were William Willis and John Pascoe. The 1908 sewerage plan of the site shows this stone house had a simple rectangular form with a verandah across the full width of the front façade. In the back yard were two galvanised iron sheds and a brick closet. A photograph of the house in c.1980 shows that a symmetrical façade, two chimneys, a corrugated iron roof to the main house and the verandah roof. The front windows, verandah supports and verandah wall appear to be later additions. The low brick wall and front gate on the front boundary are later additions.
