House, 33 Scott Street was built between 1915 and 1920. In 1919/20, Henry Caple was listed as the owner and occupant. Mr Caple remained the registered owner until c. 1940, at which time the house was listed in Elsie Caple’s name. Mrs Caple sold the property to Mary and Helen White in the late 1950s. Helen White remained the owner until at least 1991. House, 33 Scott Street is shown on a plan dated 1954 as a broad weatherboard house with a half length front verandah and projecting front room. A path linked the street with the front of the house, and branched around the house to link with external weatherboard buildings to the rear of the house. Between 1978 and 1993, the original corrugated iron roof was replaced with tiles. A tin awning over a front window (or projecting gabled room) was also removed.
