Historical information

From a series of photographs taken by Ian Molyneux for the National Estate Survey of Subiaco in 1985.

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.
