Yarra House, Baker Street
|
Was on the west side of Baker Street, near Lancaster Road, later the site of a petrol station. Slide has note "home of an Australian who made money in the gold rush".
Comment by Daren Gordelier, 2014-05-05: Yarra House stood at 274 Baker Street and was named by Samuel Jackson, who although not Australian did make his fortune there. He was an architect, born in 1807 and emigrated to Australia in 1829. He returned with his wife and daughter in 1862 and bought this Georgian property, it was then that he named it Yarra House, and it appears as such on the 1867 OS Map. Jackson died in 1876. The house was demolished in the late 1960s.
