31 North Parade (Lot 44)
Originally known as 'Boundary Place' and built circa 1860 this substantial property was the home to local butcher 'William Close' who ran his business from the smaller building adjacent Melville Street. Later changed to the name 'Dollar' by Scottish settler's, the Westwood's. The home was last lived in by the well known and much loved Betty Westwood. She lived here most of her life and was an inaugural member and advocate for 'Trees for Life' (Men of the Trees).
The main blue stone residence comprising 3 bedrooms on a corner allotment measuring approximately 1207 sq metres and the 'Old butchers shop' also known as 'Hoot Hall' by the many friends of Betty. The original slate roof, some slate flooring, a substantial boundary stone wall, high ceilings, original decorative open fire place surrounds, iron lace work are just a few of the old fashioned favourites of stone home admirers, that are featured in this landmark property.
A new septic tank and connection to the deep drainage is required.
