House, 23 Scott Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Gustav Hassy was listed as the owner and occupant. Although Hassy retained ownership, Sydney Ward was listed as the occupant of the cottage in 1909/10. William Coulter was the registered owner and occupant in 1914/15. From c. 1920, Dolores Oaklands owned House, 23 Scott Street. It appears to have been a rental property until the mid-1950s, when the name of the registered owner was changed to Dolores Stringer. Dolores Stringer then moved into the house and was still the registered owner in 2004/05. A diagram dated 1954 shows a brick house with a bay window and full length front verandah. Two weatherboard and one galvanised iron room were attached to the rear of the house.
