History

This Workers Home Board was built on Lot 1563 c. 1913/14 and was first occupied by George Stitz. By 1915/16 Harold John Branch was the occupier and remained there until at least 1949 (when post office directory records cease).
The 1914 Sewerage Plan (No 2118) shows three identical houses in plan (Nos. 103, 105 & 107); a brick house with a half-length front verandah on the west side and another along the rear. There are some small outbuildings.
The house was originally number 176, and became number 105 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937.
Aerial photos show that in the early 2000s the house was redeveloped and extended at the rear and the roof replaced.
