House, 10 Thomas Street was built c. 1955 on the site of an earlier cottage built in 1912/13 for Mr CH Greasley. The original timber and iron cottage cost £120. Mr Greasley continued to own the house until c. 1933. In 1934/35, the house was owned and occupied by John McIntyre. Following Mr McIntyre’s death in the early 1950s, the land continued to be owned by his estate until 1980. Ivy McIntyre was listed as the occupant during this time. A plan dated 1954 shows the lot as vacant, indicating that a new house was built soon after this date. House, 10 Thomas Street has had a number of owners since 1980.
