Integrity/Authenticity
Level of Integrity - Moderate; Level of Authenticity - Moderate
Condition
Good This residence appears to have been built in the 1920s for Stanley Francis Bridge and his family. Bridge was the manager of the Maylands Blind School and had a residence in Maylands. This residence appears to have been a 'summer home' or a 'weekend retreat' for the family and visitors. In 1931, a serious fire gutted the building leaving only the stone walls. The home was rebuilt and by 1937, the place was being used as a guest house. In 1940 it was offered for occupants as a rental.
