Constructed for Dr. Alexander Bennie its most notable owner/occupier was Dr. Percy Langmore from 1907-1939. Langmore Lane was named in his honour by Berwick Shire Council in recognition of his service to medical care in the district and to his personal tree planting program over a period of fifty years which is reflected in his own garden and the streets of the township. The additions to the building from the 1920s and 1965 demonstrate the changes in ownership of the practice.
