History

Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century.

House, 2 Ada Street was built by 1902 when it was described in the rate books as a cottage owned by Ernest Fortiscue and occupied by Patrick Owen, a lumper. Mr Fortiscue
continued to own this and the cottage next door at No. 4 until c. 1940. It was rented to a
succession of tenants during this time.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1907 shows a timber house with a full length front
verandah close to the front boundary. A verandah extended across the rear of the
house and a well was against the western fence of the back yard.
The house was numbered 34 Ada Street, until c. 1940, at which time it was changed to 2 Ada Street.
Between 1942 and c. 1980, the house was owned by Albert and Alberta Mattingley. It
was also a rental property during this time. Between 1980 and 1995 the place was demolished and two storey units constructed.

On 23 February 2022 Council resolved to remove 2 Ada Street from the Heritage List and to change the management category in the Local Heritage Survey to Historic Record Only.

Archaeology

It is highly likely that the construction of the current buildings on site will have destroyed any archaeological material remaining from the 1902 house.
