History
The southern side of Agett Road was part of Swan Location 642 which was surveyed into building lots shortly after 1891 by Edward Stammers Mansfield. When the Claremont Rate Books commence in 1903 there were already five houses in Agett Road. This number increased to 17 by 1909 and 20 at the outbreak of World War I. This means that the majority of the original development of Agett Road occurred during the ‘Consolidation’ period.
The ‘Consolidation’ period was a period of rapid growth within the Town. Population and housing grew steadily with 701 households and businesses in 1905, 872 in 1910 and 1,240 in 1915. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway. Surviving heritage homes from this period indicate that housing types were mainly Federation and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
