History
Wood Street was originally Hollis Street.
The cottage on Lot 6 of 29 was previously recorded as 81 Amherst Street. A two room cottage was constructed in 1897. In 1902/03 a second cottage was erected. It is difficult to ascertain which cottage, 81 or 83 was erected first. A Metropolitan sewerage plan dates from 1917.
81 Wood Street was recommended for inclusion on the National Trust list.
There have been several number changes. In 1908/09 it was number 11. The number changed to 61 in 1938/39. Between 1972 and 1974 the number changed to 81.
