The story of this home
Northumbria
Northumbria at 21 Cary Street is a freestanding, two-storey house of stuccoed brick. It was built in 1885 on lot 8 of section 1.111 of the Excelsior Subdivision. Its first recorded occupier in the journal is Frederick J. Pye, a clerk.
Solomon Mitchell’s photograph shows the house and its two-level verandah. The source provides a brief architectural and occupancy account; it does not establish a complete succession of owners or a present-day condition assessment.
