Details:
The building was demolished in 1938…… Erected in 1841, the historic house at the corner of Church and Watt Streets, Newcastle -- once the home of the early governors of the settlement -- is in the hands of the demolishers, who began their work yesterday. The old home is on the eastern corner of Church and Watt Streets, known as allotment 29 on the plan of the town of Newcastle and has unusual historic features, in which considerable interest has been aroused owing to the changes that are shortly to take place there. Mr. F. A. Cadell, of the firm of Lang, Wood and Co. Pty, Ltd; who has many of the early documents in his possession, finds on a search that the land was granted to James Reid on February 17, 1841, in order to promote the establishment of towns in the colony, although it had been promised to him by Governor Brisbane on July 12, 1823 Reid died at Brussels on December 4, 1878, and by his will devised this allotment to his son-in-law, Alexander Ogilvie Grant, and his daughter, Adelaide Louisa Rooke, wife of Thomas Slater Rooke. On December 1, 1886, Grant sold his share of the property to James Macartney Rooke for £1027. Rooke was a well-known ship chandler at that time. J.M. Rooke seems to have mortgaged his interest to the Newcastle Permanent Investment and Building Society in 1880, later, the company took over the property. A slice of the land at the corner of Church-street and Reid-lane was sold to the Newcastle City Council on April 7, 1925, for £315, and the residue of the property was recently acquired by Messrs. Orrett Bros for the erection of a block of flats. The block of flats was known as Wirraway Flats, Archtiects Jeater, Rodd and Hay; Consulting Engineers A. S. McDonald and Wagner.
