A permit was granted by the Borough Council to H. Lees on 19 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.
