In 1949/50, House, 3 Thomas Street was owned and occupied by Augusta and Giovanni Azzola. The Azzolas sold the house to Guiseppe Blogna in the mid-1960s. It had a few owners in the 1960s, before being owned by the Cant family from c. 1970 to c. 1990. A diagram dated 1954 shows an unusually shaped stone residence.
