Some History
The home was built in 1873 by builder John Pearce, and has a rich history of ownership, each chapter adding to its character. Pearce, a master builder, lived here for nearly a decade before it was occupied by Isaac Goss, a skilled carpenter, builder, and undertaker, who resided in the home from 1882 to 1898. Goss also ran his business nearby in Best Place from 1878 to 1882. In 1923, Thomas Henry Wollacott, a prominent local builder and contractor who served as the long-time Mayor of Burra (1930-37, 1939-47), became the proud owner. During his tenure, he added the current verandah, enhancing the home's classic appeal. The legacy of these past owners is evident in the home's enduring beauty and charm, lovingly maintained over the years.
