Historical information

Bay View Terrace was the principal thoroughfare through Claremont from the Railway Station to the foreshore at Freshwater Bay. Lots offered in 1885 boasted that the land was 'situated on the summit of a gentle rise and overlooking Freshwater Bay and within a very short distance of the sea.' The southern part of the 'terrace' was once called Humble Road. The views of the bay 'down the terrace' were lost from 1897, when a series of buildings, known as Matheson Terrace and later Bay View Mansions were constructed.
