'Ivanhoe 46 (Lot 5) Victoria Avenue,Claremont was built in 1899-1900 by Sydney Stubbs (Mayor of Claremont, 1902 & 03, and later Lord Mayor of Perth). Ivanhoe was built by Mr Stubb's brothers Octavius, Arthur and Wilfred in early 1900's. Very much a social focus, the house had a ballroom which was used for many social functions. Mrs Stubbs an active fundraiser, held meetings there to organise events.
The local choir practised there, and Mr Stubbs played bridge there weekly. The house was later purchased by pastoralist A Hawden Drake-Brockman.
