History

The land, Lot 1082, on which house 61 Holland Street was built was vacant government owned land. In the 1936/37 rate period a house was built which was owned by the Workers Home Board and was occupied by William Elias Griffiths. Griffiths was the occupant up to at least 1949 (when post office directory records cease).
The house is part of a group of nine houses (51-67) built by the government for public housing between 1930 and 1940 on this part of Holland Street. Nos. 51 and 67 were demolished and rebuilt/heavily modified in the 1970s, but the rest remain largely intact.
