However, Nelson Street does not appear in Council records until 1898 and was not developed until c. 1900. House, 7 Nelson Street was built c. 1910. In 1914/15, it was owned by Mary Fell and occupied by John Fell. By 1930/31, George Hobbs was the owner and occupier. After George’s death c. 1938, title passed to his estate and Mary Hobbs was listed as the occupant. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a brick residence with a projecting front room to the east and a half length front verandah over a square bay window to the west. The house had a centrally located front path and the front yard was fenced across the front and down the side to the corner of house. This allowed access to the backyard from the street. There was a large fenced lawn area in the middle of the backyard and a weatherboard stable with a galvanised iron room attached set against the back fence. Mary Hobbs continued to own the property until the 1960s, and in 1981, House, 7 Nelson Street was owned by a Mr Angove. A Thomas Angove had been the occupant of the house in the 1950s and 1960s.
