Historical information

The house was constructed in 1914.

Houses were built on all five sites (93 to 101 Salisbury Street) in c.1914-1915 and it seems likely that 99 & 101 Salisbury Street were among the many developments undertaken by James Chesters in Subiaco in the early twentieth century (together with 96 & 98 Salisbury Street, which were also built in c.1914). The first owner/occupier of 99 Salisbury Street identified in the Subiaco Rates Books was Mrs Mary Mathea, who lived here in c.1914-1915. The façade of this building is the most intact example of the four matching houses at 85, 87, 99 & 101 Salisbury Street.
