The house was originally number 89. In 1900 Lot 17 of 84 was owned by the Church of England. A cottage on the lot was occupied by A. Johnson, a banker. Subsequent owners were Agnes White (1908) and Thomas Sapphias Powel (1931-1938). Numbering changed in 1938-39, at which time the owners were Olive & Harry Harmer.
