History

This place is one of a large number of important heritage buildings in Vancouver St. One of the first known owners were Mr and Mrs J. H. Turner. The Rate Book entry for Lot 217 in 1913 confirms the owner as J. H. Turner, Laborer, and living in the house. In 1912 Mrs Turner was advertising rooms to let and the place was in Vancouver Street and called “Kooringa Villa” but it is not confirmed if this was the same place or another one owned by the Turners that they leased out for accommodation/boarding. The Turners were still living in the house in Vancouver Street in 1938.
