History/Notes
The property at 30 Nantes Street formed part of the 'Newtown Brae' Estate subdivision of 1912. It was sold to William David Alexander in 1913 and he sold it to Percy Wilkinson in 1922. An engineer, Wilkinson had a house built on the site at this time. It was demolished in c.1984 and replaced with the existing brick dwelling. The front brick fence was constructed in 2014.
