History

The Metropolitan Sewerage map sheet 2068 dated October 1915 show a brick house with a front verandah. There is a back verandah in the centre of the rear wall, with a bathroom indicated on the right hand side of the verandah. There is a timber wash house outbuilding towards the right hand side rear of the block, and a brick closet (toilet) on the left hand side of the block. The blocks on Marmion and Forrest Streets between Wood Street and Amherst Street have a back lane, which does not seem to be the case in most of these streets.
