This house is similar in style to its neighbours 65 and 69 Dorset. These three houses are 1½-storey vernacular buildings with the gable facing the street, and were built in 1891 by John Letter, a well-known Waterloo contractor around the turn of the century. A tenant in the first decade of the twentieth century was Oliver S. Martin, manager of Waterloo Broom and Brush Works and later a traveller for a furniture factory until he died in the Spanish River railway disaster on January 21, 1910.
