History

Twelve houses Holland Street (Nos. 90-112) were all built by 1902.
Numbers were allocated in 1905. The house was originally number 165, and became number 94 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937.
John Charles Gunson was the main occupant of No. 94 in 1905 and lived there until 1927. Another long-term resident was William Hendry (1930-c1942).
The 1914 Sewerage Plan (No 2118) shows a simple square house with and a full-length front verandah. There was a long narrow outbuilding at the back on the west side.
Aerial photos show that between 1985 and 1995 the house was extended at the rear.
