History

This section of Holland Street was developed by the Workers’ Home Board in the 1930s.
Lot 1554 was originally a Workers Homes Board house built in 1913/14, and the first occupant was James Bennett. A long-term resident was Hugh McGlashan (c1920-1945).
The Workers Homes Board owned the house until the mid-1940s when the next owner became Anna Catherine Keseling in 1950/51 and the occupier was Thomas Ronald (Ron) Armstrong.

The house was originally number 151, and became number 80 when the whole street was renumbered in 1937.
The 1915 Sewerage Plan (No 2068) (damaged and a partial view) shows a brick house with a detached weatherboard wash house on the west side.
Aerial photos show that in the early 2000s the house was reroofed in iron, and the lot was subdivided and another house built at the rear.
