The story of this home
First built around 1888, with evidence suggesting construction may have begun as early as 1884. The house appears in the 1888 Sands Directory beside a vacant block.
Although altered several times over the years, it has retained the character and scale of a small workers’ cottage. During the 2024 restoration, extensive damage was uncovered in the rear frame, requiring major repair work. This damage appears to have been caused by a past fire in that section of the house.
The restoration also included replacement of badly deteriorated external weatherboard cladding and white-ant affected flooring.
