Darren Schiller has added a photo to the pool:
This is a single-storey, double-fronted cottage built to the street alignment. Walling is
bluestone; side wall is painted. Quoins, and window and door surrounds are red brick. Roof
is hipped and of corrugated iron with two painted and simply decorated chimneys: there is a
low parapet to the front wall. Windows and door are timber framed; windows are double
hung sash with multi-laned upper leaves: there is transom above the main door.
11 Ada Street, Town Acre 578 (built 1857)
On 12 November 1856, Ramsay was declared insolvent. His administrators, the firm of
Chupp and Thrupp, proceeded to sell three of the blocks, two of them fronting Halifax Street.
The third was the land where 11 Ada Street now sits (Application Number 12313).
Application Number 20931 shows it was bought by William Lewis, a brassfounder, on 17
April 1857. The Assessment Book for that year lists him as the owner and occupier of a
‘cottage’ in what was described as a private street off Halifax Street. For 17 years, this was
the sole dwelling in the street. Lewis sold the house to John White of Adelaide, on 17
September 1863. White sold it to Bryan Corrigan, at that stage listing his occupation as
carter, of Halifax Street, on 26 June 1867. The assessment books show that Corrigan lived
there for almost twenty years, except for 1870–73, when he rented it to Edward William Lee.
