Description: 

A pair of matching terrace houses, although built three years apart for different owners. They had timber verandahs and no balcony.

History: 

In 1885 110 was purchased by George Shaw, the owner of the large, neighbouring house, Tullyvallin, 108 Wellington Parade, as a descendant writes, "to provide extra accommodation when needed and to ensure the use of a right of way to his stables". On his death in 1909 it passed to a his son when it was 'let out in rooms mainly occupied by journalists on the staff of the The Herald." It then passed to a granddaughter who eventually sold it to the RSPCA in 1966. The RSPCA had previously bought 112 about 1960 and wished to expand. It sold both houses in 1973 after which time they were demolished. An office building now occupies the site.

112
1864- Mrs. Flower and daughters. By 1864 Mrs. Flower was recently widowed with eight daughters. Her husband, John, had been a grocer.
