History

The house on Lot 1715, 123 Holland Street first appears in the rate books for 1935/36. Charles Oscar Berglund was the owner/occupier. Berglund was still living in the house until at least 1949 (when post office directory records cease).
The house was originally number 194, and became number 123 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937.
Aerial photos show that between 1995 and 1999 the lot was subdivided and another house built at the rear.
