History
Historical Notes:	Built in the 1860's it is one of the earliest buildings in the Waverley area. In consultation with the Heritage branch the rear of the building was altered to accommodate a professional child minding centre. The front of the house and upstairs was used as a private residence. In 1984 the then owner applied to the Heritage Council for financial assistance to restore the facade. A $ for $ amount of $30,000 was provided and the work completed in 1985. One of the conditions attached to the assistance was the making of a Permament Conservation Order which was placed over the property 11 April 1986.
