Description:
The existing house is the result of joining together two small free-standing cottages. It is approached by a narrow private garden path leading off Simpson Street, between Nos. 91 and 95.
History:
In 1868 the Rate Books list G.K. Johnston as owning 'enclosed land & stables'(No. 1307). The following year, in the same position in the Rate Books, the entry is for a small brick cottage of 3 rooms 'off Simpson Street'(No.1317). The Burchett Index of Notices of Intent to Build lists G.K. Johnston giving notice that he plans to 'build two rms. & convert stable to brick rooms.
