English: This pair appears to have been built around 1887, likely by Annie Pettigrew, who was recorded as their owner in that year's Sands Directory. Annie lived in Gadgcombe, the house on the left, while William Wheatley, a gardener, moved into Elysium on the right. Annie retained ownership of the two houses until her death seven years later on 19th May, 1894, when they passed to Sophia Williams Pettigrew, who was perhaps Annie’s daughter. Sophia married Alec J. Parker, a railways clerk, one year later in All Souls Church, Leichhardt. The 1897 Rate Book has Sophia’s name crossed out and Alec Parker’s name written over the top, signifying a transfer of the ownership. Sophia’s marriage one year after her mother’s death, and the subsequent transfer of ownership shows just how strong the social imperative was on women at the time to marry a breadwinner who would provide for them. Alec and Sophia remained married, and when Alec died at Gadgcombe in 1919, his obituary describes him as a “dearly beloved husband.” Sophia remained at Gadgcombe and had a long life, but in her final months may have moved to live with her daughter Annie Ethel Parker in Balgowlah. She died on 7th December, 1951. Her son Walter passed away just one month later on the 15th January. The terrace pair is on Thornley Street, Leichhardt, and built in the Victorian Filigree style, featuring cast iron lacework including Corinthian verandah columns, lyrebird-inspired baluster panels, fan-motif brackets, and a double-frieze (one frieze incorporating a lily pattern and the other a grapevine pattern).
