Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 6 Ada Street was built between 1902 and 1912. In 1912, it appears in the rate book as a cottage owned by James Mews and occupied by Albert James. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1907 shows a brick house with a full length front verandah and a half length rear verandah. There was a galvanised iron addition to the rear. By 1922, Edward Mews was the occupant. He purchased the cottage c. 1930 and lived there for another twenty years. The house was numbered 30 Ada Street, until c. 1940, at which time it was changed to 6 Ada Street. By 1952, House, 6 Ada Street was owned by Matilda Mews and occupied by Richard McRae. By 1960, the cottage was owned by Carmela and Guiseppe Acciano. Carmela was still listed as the owner in 2005. A garage was added in 1978 and at some stage, the corrugated iron roof of the verandah was replaced with a tile roof.
