History

This section of Holland Street was developed by the Workers’ Home Board in the 1930s.
This Workers Homes Board house on Lot WM 1072 was built in the 1936/37 rate period. The rate books list the occupant, John Conway, as occupying the premises from 29 March 1937. Post office directories list him as the main occupant until at least 1949 (when post office directory records cease).
Aerial photos show that the house has changed very little since construction.
