The Age
Subsequent Building Alterations
Sadly the original historic Victorian era buildings by Reid, Stewart & Duguid at 115 was demolished around 1967, replaced with a factory which has since been replaced with 3 townhouses, all have no front or back open garden space.
This is the 1895 MMBW map. The valued front and back yard open garden space marked green which these 3 Victorian era terrace homes once had has since been lost and are now mostly built over by the redevelopment.

|
The group of townhouses recently erected at 111, 113, 115 & 117 Abbotsford street site that replaced the previous earlier factory and before that 3 homes that had unique social and historical value and constructed during the Victorian period, the new build has zero historical or social heritage significance and it has a minute amount of usable open garden space unlike other existing Edwardian and Victorian homes that the surrounding area have. |
