99 Beach Road

Victorian Italinate period style

The area was surveyed by W B Mitchell in 1896 and it is thought that 99 Beach Road was built soon after. The exact date of construction has not been determined as the lot could not be found in available Municipality of Bunbury Rate Books. By 1931, 99 Beach Road was owned and occupied by Richard Lugg. By 1941, Mrs Grosvernor was the owner but no occupant was listed in the rate book. L Johnson owned the house in 1951, at which time it was occupied by Ausden and Prosser. The property has had several changes in street number in 1931 it was 26 Beach Road and in 1951 it was 87 Beach Road.
