History

The Doubleview Estate was established in the late 1920s and 1930s and initially comprised 1,700 blocks. The name refers to the views to both the Indian Ocean to the west and the Darling Range to the east. It now comprises a much larger area, including areas originally designated as within the suburb of Scarborough. House, 129 Alice Street, Doubleview was constructed in approximately 1954 as part of this second wave of State Housing construction in Stirling following the end of World War Two.
The residence appears to have been used for the purpose of social housing since its construction. The place is now vacant.
