Souster Buildings (26 Queen Street)

The buildings here were built by Fred Souster, architect, around 1910 for his daughter-in-law, Rachel Souster. The shop on the northern side was a grocery and general store, and the other a dairy. They were converted into a residence in the 1970s.

The photographer William Archer Price, some of whose photos illustrate this brochure, lived nearby in the early 1900s. No. 20, built in 1901, was St Hilda's Retreat, the home of Canon Davies, in the 1970s-80s. The last house on the right, known as Peterhouse, was built for Captain Matthew Slattery and his family around 1885.

Continue down Queen Street and turn down to the wharf. The adjacent reserve housed air raid tunnels during World War II.
