Condition
Fair This residence was originally constructed c1898 by Alfred Jecks (c1871-1940). Jecks was listed in the electoral rolls in 1903 as a blacksmith living in Gooseberry Hill. It is understood that he built the first mud brick cottage for Archibald Sanderson in Lesmurdie c1897. By 1910 Jecks, was living in South Guildford so it is assumed that this residence was transferred to another occupant. A later owner Percy Kirk undertook additions to the house in 1922 and since then other owners have made alterations and additions. It has not been established if any of the original building is still extant.
