Historical information

79 Bay View Terrace, Claremont was built c.1901 on a 926 m² lot (aka 36.6 perches or just under a quarter of an acre in the 1900s terminology). The house was known as Ivanhoe. Owned by Edward and Elizabeth Sheppard from at least 1919-1922.

By the 1970s, the foundations of the house had sunk and it has been inhabited by squatters, so the decision was made to demolish the house rather than renovate it. Claremont Town Council put a demolition order on house in 1973.
