History
House, 28 Walker Street was built c. 1950 on the site of a cottage built c. 1900. In 1900, Charles Lane was listed as the owner of the original cottage, which was occupied by William Ryan, a labourer. The Lane family continued to own the property, which they rented to a succession of tenants, until c. 1925.
Between 1935/36 and c. 1970, House 28 Walker Street was owned by Jessie and Podger. Edna Walsh was the tenant for this time and continued to live in the house after it was sold to Violet (or Viola) Croxton. Edna Walsh owned the house herself from 1974 to 1978 and the property has had a number of owners since that time.
A diagram dated 1954 shows a small asbestos cottage with a full length front verandah enclosed on both sides of the entry. A number of asbestos outbuildings in the backyard were linked with the house by paving.
