History

Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century.
House, 23 Alma Street was built after 1908, as it is not shown on the sewerage plan of that year. It is first listed in the Post Office Directories for 1916 and the occupant was Francis C. Sims. The cottages at 23 to 31 Alma Street were all built in the same year.
This house was formerly 93 Alma Street; renumbering occurred in 1934/35.
A photograph in 1996 shows a brick and tile house in good condition. The original features such as the doors, windows, awnings and decorative timber work were all in evidence.
