Abraham Kellet married Ellen Russell in 1857 and was no doubt anxious to provide a home for his new bride and what turned out to be his large brood of children. He advertised for tenders, ‘labour only, for BUILDING four-roomed stone and brick HOUSE’ on 19 October 1860 and he gave notice to Council of his intention to build just ten days later.

A black and white postcard published by Robert Jolley, Melbourne. It is postmarked Hamilton 14 November 1906, but is earlier as from 1905 all postcards were printed with a vertical line down the centre, allowing for a message on one side and the address on the other. This postcard has no vertical line.
