A permit was granted by the Borough Council to H. Lees on the 19th of December 1924 for the construction of a house on Pt Section 30 George Street – J. Gifford was the builder, and the estimated construction cost was £1328. 

The architects were likely the noted New Plymouth firm of Messenger, Griffiths & Taylor, who advertised for tenders for the erection of  a residence in George Street for Mr Lees during July 1924.

Alfred John Lees is listed in Wises Street Directories as residing at this address.
