Corner of Waldeck and Smith Streets
Private residence. Please view from the street.
This house was built in 1893 by Mr Cummings for Francis Kelly, an accountant and later partner with merchant Francis Pearse. The Education Department purchased it in 1897 and after renovations Headteacher Mr Ward and his family moved into their new residence. The Education Department vacated the building in 1977 and it was sold in c2011 to private owners. The building is a good example of a well-designed and executed building in the late Victorian Georgian style whose aesthetic characteristics demonstrate the town’s growing prosperity at the time.
