History
In 1896 a subdivision involving Albert Street north was advertised as the Barnfield Estate. It comprised 24 lots, three of which faced Barnfield Road between Albert and Henry (later Grange) Street, and two of which were further west. The remaining lots occupied the western side Albert Street and both sides of Henry Street between Barnfield Road and Kingsmill Road. Most of the original development of Albert Street north occurred during the ‘Consolidation’ period. The ‘Consolidation’ period was a period of rapid growth within the Town. Population and housing grew steadily with 701 households and businesses in 1905, 872 in 1910 and 1,240 in 1915. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway. Surviving heritage homes from this period indicate that housing types were mainly Federation and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
