History

Ada Street was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. House, 4 Ada Street was built by 1902 when it was described in the rate books as a cottage owned by Ernest Fortiscue and occupied by Richard Mayne, a miner. Mr Fortiscue continued to own this cottage and the one next door at No. 2 until c. 1940. It was rented to a succession of tenants during this time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1904 shows a long and narrow weatherboard house with a front verandah running across the width of the house and around the side to half the length in an “L” shape. There was also a small verandah at the rear of the house and an outbuilding in the backyard. The house was numbered 36 Ada Street, until c. 1940, at which time it was changed to 4 Ada Street.By 1942, the house was owned by Albert and Alberta Mattingley, who continued to own it until c. 1980. It was also a rental property during this time. It is not known when the cottage was demolished.
